Almost End of Crab Season

It's almost end of Dungeness Crab Season, but fortunately, not yet. A number of wineries are having their annual crab feasts. We'll take a quick jaunt from our San Francisco Food Tours to head up Healdsburg and Sonoma and fill up on crab. On the fun things to do in San Francisco is to pair some regional wines with local crab. On our San Francisco tours, we'll be trying some local oils, which goes great with the crab. I like olive oil with crab way more than butter.

Given that at the last crab feast, the winery finished dinner with a nice port wine, we'll be bring truffles from San Francisco tours to pair with the port wine.

Chinese New Year

One of the interesting concepts of Chinese New Year is the significance of oranges. The seeds help spread good luck for the coming year. On our San Francisco tours, that same concept is very important. I hope that by "spreading seeds", our guests will take the seeds from our tours and search local out artisans. On the the fun things to do in San Francisco and everywhere it to search our local artisans back home. A great resource is www.slowfood.com
