Eat | Where I’d Take A Visiting Sommelier
Mozza | For Depth of Wine List
For the depth of their incredible list of Italian wine. This list is so deep that I actually don't even try to order for myself. I always ask for help from the sommelier.

Terroni | For Wine Values
For value, Terroni is a place that I think is genius. It's fun and vibrant, with a really dynamic wine program and wines that are reasonably priced. It's also an adorable atmosphere that's always busy.

Ammo | For Wines by the Glass
Ammo for the mere fact that every wine they pour by the glass is delicious and interesting, and always pairs so well with their menu.

Sushi Time
Hands down my favorite sushi restaurant in all of Los Angeles is Sushi Time, which is located in a strip mall at the corner of Beverly Boulevard and Crescent Heights. It is a hole in wall spot with 24 seats, 1 sushi chef and two really charming Japanese servers. They play jazz music and put out some of the freshest and most delicious fish I’ve ever had. Their Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice is legendary and their hand rolls are to die for.

Malibu Seafood
When I want to have lunch at the beach, I typically do not want to do anything formal or fussy.? I like to stop at Malibu Seafood on PCH in the northern part of Malibu about 5 minutes past Pepperdine University. It is a fish market on one side featuring some of the freshest fish in Los Angeles.? On the other side is an uber-casual food outlet where you order at the counter and wait for them to call your number when your food is done.? It’s the ideal place to have fantastic steamed lobster and addictive fried clams while sitting at picnic tables and watching the surf.

Eat | Special Occasion
Spago Beverly Hills
I always find myself going to the Spago Beverly Hills for special occasion dinners and lunches. I just can’t help myself because I love sitting on the patio that is inviting and airy during the day and romantic and festive at night.? The food is absolutely delicious and the service fantastic. They treat everyone like a VIP and have an outstanding wine list. I usually give my wine brain a rest when I’m there and leave myself in the hands of their brilliant sommelier.
