Show 296, November 3, 2018: Show Preview with Co-Hosts Andy Harris and Chef Andrew Gruel

Ruby Princess arriving in Cabo San Lucus, Baja CaliforniaThanks for all the good wishes conveyed in connection with our 6th Anniversary Show last week celebrated on Princess Cruises’ Ruby Princess. We greatly appreciate your listenership over the years and the support of our invaluable sponsors especially Melissa’s World Variety Produce and West Coast Prime Meats (our loyal, Presenting Sponsors since the first broadcast.)

Now a tempting preview of Saturday’s enticing show. It’s not, with profuse apologies, for dieters. If we’re successful we will always leave you incredibly hungry and thirsty. In our case, upon careful reflection, that’s probably a pretty good thing…

What’s a destination resort and casino without creative libations? Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula wine country has recently brought on staff a Property Mixologist with a background at high-volume Las Vegas establishments. He’s Nick Hirsch, and he’s shaking it up just for us.

As we bid farewell to the 2018 MLB season diehard baseball fan and Cannery Seafood of the Pacific and El Cholo restaurants owner Ron Salisbury is in the on-deck circle, preparing for his series of dinners with baseball greats that takes the field on November 6th. The 15th annual Hot Stove League Dinner Series, named for the long winter months of the offseason when baseball fans gather around hot stoves to discuss their favorite teams and players, is being co-sponsored by Cannery Seafood of the Pacific and Angels Chairman Dennis KuhlColby Reedy, the long-time Associate General Manager at The Cannery, joins us with all the details.

In 2003 the Pfaff Family arrived in Oregon on the plot that was to become Left Coast Cellars. In those early years there were just 35 acres of vines and a scruffy, prefabricated cottage. Nevertheless, the sweeping vistas, the canopies of 400 year-old oaks, and wild herons on the lake spoke of unimaginable potential. Since then, in fits and starts, The Pfaff Family has worked to bring out the magic inherent in this land. The youngest son, Taylor, is the CEO. He pulls the cork on Left Coast Estate for us.

For the end of the year there is always the dilemma of what respectable wines to pair with the culinary delights of the various Holiday tables. We’re also looking for quality wines as gifts yet we don’t want to break the bank. To the rescue comes our resident wine authority, Kyle Meyer of Wine Exchange. He has the first installment of his annual best picks for quality and value for the Holidays. Let’s pop the cork on this one…

The Holidays are fast approaching and it’s time for the return of our “Ask the Chef” segment with our own resident cooking authority, Chef Andrew Gruel. Chef Andrew provides a bevy of his always reliable best tips for stress-free Holiday entertaining. There is much more than turkey on the Holiday table

There are more high seas adventures to share from our 5-day voyage to Cabo San Lucas aboard Princess Cruises’ Ruby Princess celebrating the 6-year Anniversary of the “SoCal Restaurant Show” on AM 830 KLAA. Executive Producer Andy Harris will highlight notable shore excursions in Cabo San Lucas (including the not-to-be-missed Cabo Dolphin Center) and also recount a meaningful example of exemplary customer service aboard Ruby Princess.

All of this and heaping helpings of extra deliciousness on this week’s not-to-miss show!
