NYC art, California design, cocktail pairings and a little good news about getting older.


Sunday Seven is back with another collection of what I’m reading, loving, and bookmarking across wine, food, travel, design, and lifestyle. This edit takes us from the latest in the NYC art scene to modernist California design, the art of cocktail pairing, and a little good news about getting older.

Why Everyone Is Talking About Favignana

Travel
Another gorgeous Italian island to add to the list!
