“Roxana Pavel’s Allmine is a neighborhood joint tucked near the beach in Oceanside, CA, serving hand crafted food made with locally sourced vegetables and meats, artisanal pizza, local beers and natural wines. It’s all accompanied with aside of smiles and good vibes. Allmine’s menu item for the 2nd Annual Swell Plates series (January 14th to February 11th, 2026) is the Porchetta Appetizer. It’s house-roasted pork belly, crisped to perfection, rolled with herbs and served with pickles, sharp mustard and house focaccia.” We’ll meet proprietress, Roxana Pavel.

“CordeValle, the celebrated and very exclusive Northern California private golf resort in San Martin, acquired the Clos La Chance Winery late last year. It’s an idyllic wine estate neighboring the resort’s 1,700-acre property. With this acquisition, CordeValle ushers in a new chapter with the introduction of CordeValle Winery, reinforcing its commitment to excellence while setting a bold yet approachable vision for the future. Rooted in a passion for exceptional hospitality and craftsmanship, CordeValle Winery is the newest venture from CordeValle, bringing a refined, sense-driven approach to winemaking. Clos La Chance’s winemaker, Steve Driscoll, continues to helm the winemaking operations. Located within the Santa Clara Valley AVA and surrounded by 83 acres of verdant rolling hills and vineyards, CordeValle Winery offers an elevated yet approachable experience that blends the extraordinary beauty of Northern California with impeccable hospitality.” Winemaker Steve Driscoll joins us to uncork all that is CordeValle Winery.
