Cabo Resort to Feature Chocolate Clams
Luxury AAA Five Diamond resort
Grand Velas Los Cabos in Mexico has been rolling out innovative culinary creations since opening in late 2016. The latest is a fresh take on Baja California’s “Candy of the Sea” courtesy of a new chocolate clam tasting menu.
Each of the signature five restaurants at the resort have prepared one version of the dish paired with a wine, including a few from Mexico’s wine region in the north of the peninsula. Highlights of the menu include a chocolate clam with white bean, lardo and piccalilli from Cocina de Autor’s two Michelin starred chef Sidney Schutte and, from its Velas 10 steak and seafood restaurant, Clam Au Gratin made with chocolate clams, creamy baby spinach, bacon and grated Grana Padano cheese.
Buy Dad Some Grapevines for Father’s Day
We just showered mom with love and it’s time to do the same for dad. This year, there is a new gift for wine-loving fathers: planting his very own grapevine! Through
Wine on the Vine you can gift dad with his very own vine to be planted in a top Israeli winery. After the grapevine is planted, the majority of the donation goes to charities doing important work in Israel. Wine on the Vine works with elite wineries some of which include Carmel, Psagot, Tabor, Tulip, Yatir, Jezreel, and Gush Etzion as well as other Israeli non-profit organizations. The goal is to create a way for people to support and help build Israel’s wine industry in both a meaningful and enjoyable way.
Costs range from $18 for one vine to $1,800 for 100 vines. For $90 and above you get one or more bottles of wine from the vines you planted – after a four-year wait for the grapes to grow.
