Pretty new photos – Park Winters
We just added two new photos for the incredibly beautiful Park Winters. This romantic venue is very convenient for those couples from San Francisco or Sacramento. Be sure to check out the Vixen View here.
The Vixens love Park Winters and we love John Martin, owner!
Bella Vista’s new photo – great venue!
We added a wonderful new photo to the Featured Review for Bella Vista Bed & Breakfast, located in the foothills between Placerville and Coloma, California. This is a wonderful retreat for those looking to get away, as Kathleen is a lovely Innkeeper and the rooms are devine! But, in addition, if you’re looking for a private country setting with magnificent views to hold a wedding, party or other social event… Bella Vista has it goin’ on, too!

Vixen Vittles – Hyatt Regency Sacramento
Vixens Kendra and Lora attended a recent Chef’s Table presented by the Hyatt Regency. May we say… WOW! Our pals Denise and Julie in Sales & Catering invited us to enjoy and learn first-hand the special menu that Executive Chef Ian Libberton created for the approach of Spring!
The table was lovely – fresh, creamy whites, pop of coral in the napkins, printed menu cards, and beautiful vases or white orchids and also white lilacs. Chef explained that this menu would not be the norm for weddings or events, but fun for this particular group. He was going with a “white theme.”
First course ~ Roasted Scallops, Rocket, Celery Root amd Meyer Lemon creme
Wine selection: Laxas, Alberino, Rias Baixas, 2010
Second Course ~ Brown Sugar Cured Passmore Ranch Trout with Pecan Smoked Bacon, Watercress, Caviar Vinaigrette
Wine Selection: Matteo Correggia, Roero Arneis, Canale Italia, 2010
Third Course: Butter Poached Eastern Lobster, Rissotto, Black Kale, Maitake Mushrooms, Vanilla Butter
Wine Selection: Palmaz Vineyards, Chardonnay, Napa Valley 2010
And yes, if you noticed… there was a lot of wine (and really good wine, too). Tyson Warren, the very knowledgeable Food & Beverage Director explained how each wine paired perfectly with each course. He was so right!
Dessert Course: Dulce De Leche Creme Brulee with Three Nut Brittle
Wine selection: Hungarian dessert wine (my computer won’t type the foreign letters)
We certainly enjoyed the company – met some very nice folks, and even the General Manager, Scott VandenBerg, graced our table. Hyatt has always been known for their excellent service and superior cuisine and this tasting did not disappoint! What a treat Thank you, Hyatt!
