A isn’t quite the wine capital of California…
By: Deena Nissley
…but that hasn’t stopped more than 50 vineyards in the Santa Monica Mountains from producing delicious bottles of vino.
Malibu Family Wines
The wines featured here represent the bounty of the grapes harvested from the Semler family’s 1,000 acre estate in the SM mountains. There’s often an event here in addition to the standard tasting so whether you’re looking for a movie night or live music, make sure to check the schedule before you go.
31740 Mulholland Hwy., Malibu (818-865-0605)
Sip Malibu
At the Cielo Winebar, grab a seat at one of the shaded hillside tables and enjoy one of four wine flights for between $10 and $15. Some flights are Napa-focused, so if you want to try the local flavor, choose the reds.
2598 Sierra Creek Rd., Agoura (818-865-0440)
Rosenthal Estate Wines
Though the sprawling vineyard is closed to the general public, stop by the tasting room just off the PCH to try the estate’s wines and Surfrider wines for between $12 and $15. If you’re on your way North, make sure to snap up a bottle to prove to your NorCal buddies that SoCal can compete.
26023 Pacific Coast Hwy., Malibu (310-456-1392)
Cornell Winery and Tasting Room
Despite the name, there isn’t actually a winery here. Instead, they rotate the wineries they feature which gives you a reason to keep coming back. For $15, you’ll get to taste eight different wines while you browse the peacock-inhabited grounds and the gallery.
29975 Mulholland Hwy., Cornell (818-735-3542)

Help clean up the San Fernando Valley
By: Ron Viola
Living in our consumer society can be a bit tiresome. Constantly being bombarded with sales pitches and hooky advertisements. When you used to be able to take a peaceful walk down the boulevard to escape the blaring television and radio, now we are being sold to in another capacity – people are unhitching trailers and leaving them around the San Fernando Valley.
They’re unsightly, unwanted and occasionally sleazy. There’s bill out trying to stop this.
For more information, please call the Assembly District Office at: (818) 904-3840

Provisions Dinner at Sowden House
By: Deena Nissley
The 1926 landmark is now taking reservations for a 5 course feast each paired with wine from the Melrose shop Domaine. Lloyd Wright designed this 6,000 square feet of Old Hollywood glamor on Franklin avenue.This is the same place Scorsese shot parts of The Aviator.
Make your way to Los Feliz and enter through the front, exploring the various nooks and crannies of the place and eventually making your way back to a courtyard that resembles a Mayan ruin (only less ruin-y).

In the name of helping cyclists
By: Kenny Melcombe
After the Los Angeles Mayor had a bone breaking accident on his bicycle, Villaraigosa begun a campaign to widen streets in our city. The Mayor says that roughly $3.2 million will be set aside for bicycle and pedestrian improvements in the 2011 fiscal year.
The city is also updating its bicycle plan, which envisions 1,633 miles of bike lanes, paths and routes. But the last plan called for 526 miles of bikeways, but so far only 354 miles exist.
Villaraigosa says the city needs to invest in bicycling infrastructure and focus on traffic safety enforcement to make streets safer for cyclists.

Robots that clean
By: Deena Nissley
Quite possibly the best gift for a college student, Roboscooper will lift beer cans, magazines and any other medium weight items. While Roomba scurries around sucking up dirt off your carpet, Roboscooper uses his hands to lift stuff out of the way. The robot runs on six AAA batteries which means it can’t pick up heavy items but it does have an infrared sensor to detect if the object is too big.
Like the Star Wars duo, they’ll be able to work in tandem when Roboscooper lands on Earth (it ships in a few weeks).

$70.
Ships at end of month.

Don’t waste your time, try ParkWhiz
By: Deena Nissley
Let’s say you scored some new hot tickets to Justin Bieber at LA Live. Ok, maybe it’s for a Lakers game next season. Either way, you can guarantee that parking will be an issue. Instead of a fight for your next parking spot the size of a motorcycle, why not reserve a spot right away? And for $20. That’s pretty easy.
Go to ParkWhiz.com and reserve your spot ahead of time. You’ll give a credit card number and an email – then you’re set. When the next game or concert is around, it’s as easy as that.
