She has a wealth of knowledge and expertise that really enhanced the experience, plus, she is incredibly positive, too! Karen, the business owner and additional teacher at Inspired Art Wine is such a delight. She makes every person feel so welcomed in her space. You feel like you're in some small town sweet spot in Gilmore Girls or Ginny and Georgie hehe. The space is so welcoming and accommodates all levels (as you can tell by my painting lol). Also! For non-drinkers they have non-alcoholic beer, sodas, etc! Thank you Shelly, Karen and Karen's partner. We can't wait to come back!

Inspired Art Wine is the perfect place to learn how to paint while sipping on some delicious wine!…read moreI'm not sure what's better, the wine or the art. The owner Karen was a fun Instructure! Leading us step by step in how to paint using acrylic. She was fun, upbeat and personable. 2.5 hours flew by! Did I mention the wine? Karen is also an expert in wine selection. You will not disappoint. This art studio is clean, organized and easy to get around. The bar is located toward the back of the studio with breaks every :30 minutes to get your wine glass filled up. Wine and beer is for purchase. You can even order a cheese plate ahead of time to much while you sip and paint. We did the holiday beach painting this time. Great place to hang with a few friends and connect. Become an artist for a day at Inspire Art Wine. I will be recommend this place to everyone I know.

I have been going to Hi-Time Cellars for many years now, and I was a bit surprised to find that I…read morehad not included them in a Yelp review! Well, let's fix that right now because this place should be a must-see destination when you are in Orange county. I'm not kidding, this place is an adult Disneyland! The moment you walk in the door it is a visual sensory overload. To the left isn't a complete cigar shop with some of the most elusive and amazing brands. It is definitely a must-see when you go in. The humidor is stocked to the gills, and they have every accessory you could possibly want. As you keep walking, to your left, they have an amazing gourmet chocolate section that is second to none. One of my favorite places to go and just wander around like a kid in a candy store... Literally. You have to go downstairs where the wine selection is. I'm not kidding you, it is like a half a city block long broken down into country, region, varietal, and tight. There are so many bottles to choose from. You can get anything from a $10 bottle up to a $17,000 bottle of wine If you are a bourbon, Scotch, or whiskey fan, you have to check out the selection that they have. They have amazing deals, they work with the distillers to have a great selection of high-end alcohol. Speaking of high-end, behind the glass obviously is the really high-end stuff like pappy, Van Winkle, whistle, pig and many others to choose from. Are they pricey? Yes they are. Are they hard to find, yes they are. Can I afford them? Absolutely not. But they are fun to look at like paintings in a museum. Here's the secret ticket for those of you going in at the back of the bourbon section, right next to the walk-in beer cooler, they have a discount rack where you can pick up bottles for seriously 90% hot. Hot it is definitely worth a look because sometimes you will find amazing deals on stuff that you never thought you could afford. Speaking of beer, you can buy kegs six packs, individual cans of just about any beer you can think of... And even some you did not know existed. It is definitely worth your while to go there and hang out for an hour. I can't end this review before bragging on the staff. Super nice, super helpful, willing to make suggestions, and just making your visit. Fun is the cornerstone of the experience. Super great people kind of like cheers, where they remember your name. Bottom line? You would be doing a disservice if you did not go check this place out. Highly recommended and Dan Leadbetter approved!

We had the most memorable evening at Chef Stephanie Chinchilla's chef's table. The experience was…read moreintimate, warm, and beautifully executed from start to finish...every dish told a story and every detail felt intentional. We began with the Aji tuna on crispy rice, topped with a delicate sliver of jalapeño and crispy shallots, a perfect balance of freshness, spice, and crunch. The second course was Stefanie's famous focaccia...one sweet and one savory. The savory version featured parmesan, her homemade bread and butter, pickles from her garden, and a touch of mustard seed. The bread, made simply with flour, water, and salt, takes two to three days to create. The sweet focaccia was equally impressive, topped with brie, honey, and a guava jam made from her own garden-grown guavas... truly special. Next came the sweet potato course, made from her garden's harvest and paired with roasted pine nuts and coconut-shaved gnocchi in brown butter. The flavors were rich yet comforting, and the presentation was artistic and thoughtful. The main course... short ribs with a stunning potato gratin, was a showstopper. The short ribs were tender and deeply flavorful, garnished with delicate edible flowers from her garden, while the gratin was layered beautifully and topped with a fragrant chimichurri. Dessert was one of the best I've ever had: a sticky toffee date cake with a caramel apple sauce made from apples in her garden, served with raw cream vanilla bean ice cream. The balance of warmth, sweetness, and texture was perfection. The wine pairings, thoughtfully curated by Oscar from Sequoia Grove Winery, elevated the entire experience, from the velvety Merlot to the bold Cabernet, every sip complemented the food flawlessly. What makes Chef Stefanie so special is her warmth and authenticity. She shares her passion for food and where it comes from in a way that's engaging and educational, never pretentious. She spends time presenting each dish beautifully, with an artist's eye and a chef's heart. Her artistry, attention to detail, and genuine love for her craft come through in every course. I'll absolutely be attending her future chef's table events, a beautiful evening of intentional cooking, soulful flavors, and gracious hospitality.

Great Food, But the Experience Needs Work!…read more My boyfriend and I attended a Sur La Table hands-on cooking class, and overall, the menu and food were great. Everything we made turned out really well, and the concept is fun. That said, there were a couple things that took away from the experience. First, be prepared to stand the entire time, including while eating. After about two hours of cooking, you're still standing while trying to enjoy your meal. By the end, I was honestly just ready to leave and ended up rushing through eating. Second, and more importantly, we were paired with another couple, making it a group of four. Meanwhile, other couples were not paired up. This meant we had to share tasks and the experience, even though we paid the same price. We came to cook, not to watch another couple cook part of our meal. For the price, I would expect a more consistent and fair setup across all groups. Sur La Table has a great concept and great food, but the experience could definitely be improved.

In just two hours, we somehow managed to make fudge, marshmallows, caramel turtles, and bark--which still feels a little unreal. Jessica was AMAZING. She kept an almost full class organized, on schedule, and stress-free while making sure nothing went wrong (no small feat when working with hot sugar). Her passion for what she does is obvious, and she shared so many helpful tips along the way. I'm comfortable in the kitchen, but this class reminded me there's always something new to learn. Huge thanks to Sur La Table for a fantastic experience, and an even bigger thank-you to Jessica for making us all look like pros by the end. Would absolutely take another class with her!
