List 9


Love: The Talented Mr. Ripley. For many reasons. Not the least of them being Jude Law's Dickie Greenleaf in all his reckless, entitled, golden glory.


Like: Castelvetrano olives are the current go to.


Discovery: Campari who? Once you've had Gran Classico Bitters, you'll never go back. (Thanks to KJ for the introduction). Excellent for Negronis or just over ice.

Obsession: Salumi. Away from home, the massive selection of house-made salumi at Adesso in Oakland is always an adventure. They use a lot of different herbs and spices to cure their selections. At home, a platter of Fra' Mani sopressata, along with some sea salt breadsticks and a plate of the olives above make for a very nice beginning.

Complaint: It's been far too long since we lounged on the Amalfi Coast and pretended to be Dickie and Marge.
