Happy “fallback” day! Here’s my latest Sunday Seven – a roundup of inspiring ideas across wine, food, lifestyle, design, and travel. This edition brings a little inspiration for holiday hosting, from well-priced wines to festive bites – as well as bold California architecture and a few things to bookmark for your next European adventure.
Stocking Up for the Season
Wine
With holiday entertaining coming up, Wine Enthusiast’s Top 100 Best Buys is a timely list to have handy. Every bottle comes in at $20 or less, so this is a good guide for finding everyday wines to get you through the craziness.

A Sculptural Retreat in Brentwood
Architecture & Design
Ricardo Legorreta’s gorgeous House of Two Towers in Brentwood has come to market for the first time since its completion in 1991, with a $30 million asking price. One of just three homes the architect designed in LA, it brings together bold color, sculptural forms, and interconnected courtyards. A girl can do a little architectural daydreaming…
A Cozy Alpine Escape
Design & Travel
One to bookmark! Chesa Marchetta, an intimate inn in the Swiss village of Sils Maria, combines historic interiors, contemporary art, and beautiful Alpine surroundings. Weathered beams, stone walls, and a library made for being cozy.
Something Good Before Dinner
Food
A few good bites and a glass of wine can be reason enough to gather. Food & Wine’s holiday appetizer collection offers plenty of inspiration, from French onion baked Brie to savory tarts and mushroom pâté. I’m bookmarking this for the holidays!
A Suite Upgrade
Travel
American Airlines’ new Flagship Suites bring privacy doors and a redesigned business-class experience to its upgraded cabins. As someone who flies American often, I’m always interested in what’s changing and there is nowhere to go but up! Here’s a first look…
Eating Your Way Through Spain
Food & Travel
With a Spain trip on the calendar for next year, this one caught my attention. AFAR’s guide explores 15 iconic Spanish dishes and where to try them, from paella to tortilla and jamón. A good reminder that planning where and what to eat can be the most fun part of the trip!
Modern Masters in Miami
Art
Picasso, Klee, Matisse, and Giacometti come together in a new exhibition at Pérez Art Museum Miami, featuring ~100 works drawn from the Berlin Museum. From Matisse’s celebrated cut-outs to Picasso’s paintings, there’s plenty to spend an afternoon with. On view through February 28: a good one if Miami is on your winter calendar.
Hope you have a wonderful and relaxing rest of your weekend!
