Did you know... That our fellow bakery friends just opened a delicious RETAIL SHOP in Little Italy???
Located right next to Remedy, just off Front St.
* STYLISH space, designed by owner Romain's talented architect wife Marissa, @patisseriebonjour
showcases their delicious croissants and pastries, sandwiches, and fresh coffees!
Be sure to ask for a NEW YORK ROLLED CROISSANTS - a nod to The Lafayette Bakehouse in NYC
Amazing VEGAN croissants too (in photo)
YUMMMMM: 🥐🥐🥐🥐☕☕☕☕
I got to help in my own little way for their opening party, providing some Italian + French wine options for guests @vino.corso 🍷🥂
Wishing Romain and his team all the success and joy!
My photos don't do it justice...

Well it's been a bit since I posted here, but I wanted to update you on my reboot...
For those who didn't know my LBC (LIFE BEFORE CAKE) prior life in the wine biz, I've been a Certified Sommelier since 1995. Teaching wine since 1993, back in the day of owning 2 restaurants in Telluride, Colorado. I've decided that training people about wine again🍷 will be a calmer lifestyle as I'm getting older... It'll be a carefully planned start with just a few public wine + food events at first.
I've teamed up with my dynamic friend Chef Jeff Rossman at @terrasd for a few great educational dinners - our next one is coming up on TUESDAY, MAY 30TH at his La Mesa location... We will be showcasing traditional Wine and Food from the Marche region of Italy's Adriatic Coast!!!🔥🔥🔥
After that, I have family to visit this summer, after many years of missing their events so that I could focus on all of you🤗
If you or anyone you know is looking to learn more about wine, wine pairing, and wine purchasing, please stay connected here until I am ready to launch my new page.
Until then, find my version 1.0 website: VINOCORSO.com

Over the years, it's really the people that made the work all worthwhile!
Sadly I cannot find or include photos of all the awesome folks who have worked for us or supported us in all the ways that kept us going, but here are some of you... The rest of you certainly know who you are, And please feel my biggest hugs to you from here!! 🤗🤗🤗

Holy smokes, that's really almost all she wrote... and nobody's more excited than THIS GUY😂 He can't wait for me to sit down and do NOTHING for a few days. (But CAN SHE DO IT???)
Only a few more items to sell, and most of that will go to our friends @patisseriebonjour who are taking over the space to continue their killer croissants, pastries, and future cakes!
Keep your eyes peeled for them at the best SD farmers markets.
PLEASE NOTE:. I don't check this IG every day...
16 years, almost to the day (March, 2007-2023), thousands of wedding cakes, and Lord knows how many mini desserts later.... Today was our very last delivery.
Now we're off to enjoy the hot tub! Stay tuned for updates after a brief relaxation...

The VERY FINEST people enter your life for a lifetime.
This one, my dearest friend Donna, became my friend, roommate, and business partner. Truly one of the most thoughtful, kind, and genuine humans I'll ever know, what an honor to have her be another sister to me.
Donna surprised me by flying out to CA to help me close up the bakery loose ends this past week, bringing with her that fabulous smile, laugh, fun, and ability to THROW THAT S#*+ OUT!! 😂
I surprised HER with GOAT
Elaine's first wine education dinner is tonight, starting in an hour and featuring some incredible Mediterranean wines paired with a wonderful menu by Chef Jeff Rossman at @terrasd
Tickets are no longer available, but look for the next one on May 17 th!
Look who's also being featured as one of our "Italians?" @ramonaranchwines AGLIANICO 🍷🍷🍷
@ebopaloo ... to be adding her VINO CORSO social media, but that'll be after a brief relaxation period post-bakery. We'll announce it soon!
Ayyyyye, the lucky Irishman having a birthday on old St. Pat's Day! 🍀🍀🍀🍀
Liz found some gold 🪙 at the end of the rainbow for this one...
Happy St. Patrick's Day to all you Irish folk out there!
