CHAMPAGNE & SPARKLING WINE
NOVEMBER
A Sparkling
Finish
Find the perfect bubbly to celebrate the season.
T
he season of celebration is upon us, and there will be
a bubbly beverage that is likely on any party planner’s
shopping list—Champagne and sparkling wines.
Champagne has been associated with luxury and royalty for
centuries, and was traditionally served as part of festive occasions.
With some very successful marketing, this tradition is still
recognized today.
One very common misconception is “Champagne” and
“sparkling wine” are interchangeable. This is not the case. Wines
created in the Champagne region in France are only allowed
to use that synonymous title. However, even though sparkling
wines do not possess the title of their French cousins, the primary
method of creation is the same. In the traditional method, or
méthode champenoise, a secondary fermentation takes place in
the bottle. Other techniques include the Charmat method, carbon
dioxide injection and the transfer method. All of these procedures
vary in applied pressure and the length of the aging process, and
ultimately influence the wine’s price.
The carbonation concoction allows for some indulgent pairings.
Louis Roederer Cristal is famously known for its appearance in
music videos depicting sheer indulgence. The 2005 selection
contains stoned fruit and citrus aromas, fresh almonds and
sweet blossom meant to be savored with caviar (from $200).
Another bubbly that tops wine lovers’ lists time and time again
is Domaine Carneros Le Rêve de Blancs (from $100). The 2006

bottle intertwines bouquets of white flowers, pear and lemon
curd with crème brûlée, spices and toasted nuts. The silky finish
complements a delicious double or triple-cream cheese, fish,
shellfish and poultry.
For buyers looking for something local, Temecula has countless
award-winning wineries with an abundance of top-notch
sparkling wines. South Coast Winery carries a large selection of
award-winning wines each to excite the palate. The Sparkling
Blanc de Blanc ($28) won the gold at The London International
Wine and Spirits Fair this year, as well as gold at the California
State Fair and double gold at the San Diego County Fair. Made
from 100-percent Chardonnay grapes, this glass will inspire notes
of apple and floral aromas with an oak background and a touch of
vanilla. South Coast’s Sparkling Pinot Noir Rose ($18) will excite
any sweet palate with its strawberry, raspberry and cotton candy
aromas, perfectly balanced with acidity. The Sparkling Pinot
Noir Rose is the silver winner of 2013’s Inland Empire Magazine
Competition as well as the Pacific Rim International.
Most often during the holidays, when mailboxes are stuffed
with party invites, we look for a bottle to add to the festivities. For
anyone who doesn’t want to show up empty-handed but isn’t quite
sure what to type of Champagne or sparkling wine to bring, it is
in the best interest of the buyer to try as many wines with diverse
backgrounds in order to find a personal favorite. Whatever the
celebration may be, cheers! Sláinte! Prost!

THE MONDAY CLEANSE
The Monday Cleanse
Get powered up for the work-week with some simple detoxifying tips.
By Ashley Baker | All photos used with permission
M
onday’s are often the most
dreaded day of the week.
But before you reach for
another cup of coffee to resolve what
ails you, consider what may have caused
your sluggish feelings. According to Dr.
Edward F. Group III, founder of Global
Healing Center, the average American
ingests over 2,100,000 toxins every
24 hours in their body. This can lead
to a myriad of health problems, from
an inability to focus, lack of energy,
migraine, head aches, that terrible
bloated feeling and of course, Monday
mood swings.
A quick detox may be exactly what
your body needs after a long weekend
out on the town, indulging in holiday
fare or traveling. To begin, start your
day with a glass of lemon water. You
may add organic honey if desired,
and the temperature is up to you. This
alone will do wonders for your digestive
track, and help boost your immune
system. By drinking the lemon water
on an empty stomach, the body can
more easily soak up all the cleansing
benefits of the lemon. Then after you
have eaten something, take a milk thistle
supplement and a vitamin C, which
helps the body produce glutathione,
a liver compound that drives away
toxins. Milk thistle has been shown to
have a positive effect on the liver, which
plays a primary role in removing toxins
from the body. Let’s not forget about the
kidneys; organs that play a vital role by
cleaning your blood every day. Uva Ursi
(found at your local vitamin shop) can
clean the kidneys which in turn increase
blood flow and the amount of oxygen
carried by the blood. This will help you
stay focused during the brutal Monday
commute. Next is exercise. I know that’s not what
you want to hear, but it too plays a big
part in cleansing your body. There is
even a workout called “Qi Gong” which
is designed just to cleanse the body.
And before you get too intimidated,
it’s actually not strenuous at all and
there are free video sessions online that
are relatively short and easy to learn.
Finally, this next step may prove to be

Grand Del Mar
No one pairs fine dining with live
entertainment like San Diego.

hat could be more special than dinner with family
and friends, or even a romantic dinner for two at one
of San Diego’s fine dining restaurants? How about
enjoying live performances without the hassle of driving, parking,
and competing with others to get a decent seat?
Here’s a list of venues that deliver high-end culinary masterpieces
paired with live entertainment to enhance the night and help
you avoid the inevitable letdown of driving or walking along
busy streets. After all, nothing is more comforting than sharing a
luscious dessert or nightcap without debating about where to go
next. Just sit back and relax.
Grand Del Mar
Relish a five-star dining experience at the Addison, where
Executive Chef William Bradley and his team of experts will
provide the ultimate in taste and presentation. Highlighting
contemporary French techniques, each plate utilizes the finest
and freshest ingredients, with a minimalist touch to enhance the
natural flavor. Stunning bites of the seasons are delivered course by
course, as the wait staff deftly caters to your every need in perfect
synchronicity. The Grand Del Mar also offers two music venues,
depending on your mood. For a laid-back experience, stroll over
to the Lounge, featuring a mix of jazz, guitar, piano or vocals in
an atmosphere that begs you to take the edge off. If you’re feeling
energized, Club M is the North County Hot Spot where everyone
wants to see or be seen, offering a Gaslamp-style club filled with
thumping rhythms and flashing lights every weekend.

FINE DINING WITH LIVE ENTERTAINMENT
NOVEMBER
Humphrey’s concert venue
Humphrey’s
With a strategic location in the center of Shelter Island,
Humphrey’s features floor-to-ceiling windows neighboring several
yacht clubs and marinas. Day or night, the view is mesmerizing
and ever-changing, as boaters quietly float past the dining room
and gentle waves beg you to unwind. The menu features modern
global cuisine, highlighting flavors and textures from around the
world, paired with classic favorites that are sure to please every
palate. Immediately adjacent to the dining room and hotel is the
locally famous outdoor concert venue, a 1,400-seat theater hosting
world-class entertainment from May to October. Dinner show
packages are available that offer the best seats in the house, making
the transition between dinner and show even more convenient
and enjoyable. For year-round live entertainment, the Backstage
Lounge is also a great choice.
Croce’s
A mainstay in the downtown Gaslamp District for nearly
30 years, Croce’s has been one of the most popular venues for
excellent dining and live jazz. Although the location will move to
Banker’s Hill at the beginning of 2014, expect the same quality
and consistency that has followed this San Diego icon over the
years. Croce’s has hosted some of the finest local and international
jazz, blues and rock artists to visit the city. Diners typically arrive
early and stay late, as the lounge area is cozy and intimate.
Grant Grill
Located within the highly touted US Grant Hotel, the Grant Grill
is a prime example of upscale urban dining, offering comfortable
seating in a dining room that includes an intimate bar and lounge.
The menu highlights fresh produce, meat and seafood utilizing
French techniques and a modern philosophy to define true
California cuisine. Every dish is masterfully created to enhance
the natural flavors of each ingredient. Be sure to join the crowds
on Thursday through Saturday, as the live entertainment spans
genres of jazz, rock, blues, samba and pop. No need to leave your
table, as the entire dining room is filled with music throughout the
night due to its acoustic architecture.
Nothing says romance better than a night on the town where
everything to fill your night is offered under one roof.

San Diego VIP
Local clubs offer the ultimate nightlife experience for a select few.
Article by Nicole Lawrence | All photos used with permission
W
ith all the amazing nightlife
offered in San Diego, it’s easy
to get lost in the crowd. But
clubs like Voyeur, Bassmnt, FLUXX and
Stingaree offer club-goers an upgraded
nightlife
experience
with
wickedly
entertaining VIP perks and bottle services.
It starts at the very beginning, where guests
check in with posh-clad bouncers, getting
fast-track entry into these venues. One
truly feels like a VIP when escorted by a
host to their exclusive table where cocktail
servers are waiting, ready to take care of
your every need.
While each one of these clubs provides
their VIPs with the royal treatment,
each dance hall has also found ways
to make themselves unique. The twostory, Victorian-style hot-spot Voyeur,
for instance, is complete with sexy go-go
dancers tearing it up inside a trendsetting
LED wall that covers one side of the venue
and pumps out a limitless array of images,
graphics and videos (light show anyone?).
It is has become a well-known haven for
electronic dance music (EDM) lovers who
come to sweat in a more intimate venue—
so intimate, in fact, that two of the VIP
tables are only five feet away from the DJ.
But what makes Voyeur one of the best
spots in SD? “The VIP team that we
assembled is really outgoing, down-toearth, fun, party people. We enhance
the experience, not just through the
entertainment but how we interact with
everyone, as we become part of the party
ourselves,” said Matt Ridley, the club’s
head of VIP services. “We like to cater to
our VIP clients. If it’s legal, we will make
it happen. If someone wants to spray
Champagne on the crowd, we will make it
happen, there’s just a price for it.”
And if a client wants a VIP table for 50
people right in the middle of the dance
floor, Voyeur makes it happen—building a
VIP table on the dance floor in exchange
for a minimum of 20 bottles of Dom
Perignon Luminous ($650 each).
Going above and beyond to provide their
VIP clients with custom experiences, it’s no

Champagne. “We often hear, ‘Can I ride that champagne carrier like the
cocktail server did?’ or ‘How much do I have to purchase to climb
on or get in that?’” said VIP Host Jason Mitchell. “The venue can
certainly become the client’s playground, and we will cater to their
requests to the best of our ability, but we do consider their safety
first. With this all said, we do let the clients get pretty crazy.”
Featuring water walls and floating staircases, downtown’s veteran
VIP spot, Stingaree, has also earned a reputation for superior
service. And whether you book a table on the main dance floor
or a cabana on the rooftop oasis, you are guaranteed to have an
unforgettable night.
“Being one of the biggest nightlife venues in San Diego we have
the ability to cater to our guests and make sure that they get the
best night for any occasion,” said Michael McShane, marketing and
entertaining director. “One night you can come in, have the full
blown club experience with a VIP table on the main dance floor,
dancing the entire night, then come back the very next night for a
VIP cabana on the rooftop to hang out, listen to some music, and
have a few drinks with your buddies.”
Stingaree has also seen its fair share of VIP requests.
“We get a wide variety of requests from DJ shout outs to cigar
rollers to adult entertainers,” McShane said. “Most people don’t get
too crazy but we are often asked to plan their entire night starting
with hotel rooms, limo service, dinner, bottle service, and the afterparty in the hotel room. We’ve had a few guests come in during the
week to let loose and spend between $20 and $30,000. Champagne
wars normally get the party started.”
There’s no better way to experience one of these top-notch clubs
than with extraordinary VIP treatment. Indulge yourself—after all,
you deserve it.

THE BOUDOIR DIVAS
NOVEMBER
The Boudoir Divas
Get close-up with the ladies bringing sexy back to San Diego.
A
little less conversation—a little more lights, camera,
action! Boudoir photography has become more popular
by demand from women that are looking to get their
couture-pose face on and slip into something a little more
revealing, to celebrate special occasions such as engagements,
weddings, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day and weight-loss—and
the list goes on.
And you don’t have to be Parisian to get into character either.
Typically this genre of photography captures candid moments of
women in beautiful lingerie—but for the Boudoir Divas in San
Diego, sexy lace is just a small part of what they believe to be an
empowering expression of femininity.
Founders Marissa Boucher and Kimberlee West are big on
education. They’ve taken to the stage all over the world to speak
their piece about boudoir and their passion for creating intimate
and beautiful art. In addition to international workshops, the
ladies have also published a boudoir book, exploring their craft in
more detail and sharing with photographers the self-empowering
and esteem-building qualities of boudoir photography.
Diva’s enormous studio in Sorrento Valley accommodates every
taste and style, featuring an array of both traditional boudoir
vignettes, as well as several updated twists. Go for glam or get the
edge with a personalized “supermodel” experience. For a clever
gift idea this holiday season, gift certificates are available.

imagination have fun and hunt through the house for creative
objects and materials.
If the latest color trends are important to you and your
decorating, then I always like to defer to the most recent Pantone
selections from each season. For more than 20 years, Pantone, the
global authority on color, has surveyed the designers of New York
Fashion Week and beyond to bring seasonal decorators the most
important color trends. This year, the most prominent hues for fall
2013 are jewel-toned emerald—which continues to sparkle and
fascinate, bringing luxury and elegance to the palette—while a
more yellow-toned Linden Green brings a lightness and brightness
to the deeper shades of fall. They both look beautiful paired with
Mykonos Blue, a bold, meditative blue, for a classic and relaxed
fall look. Exotic Acai (like the berry) adds a mysterious richness to
the palette, and pairing this elegant shade of purple with emerald
will give a regal disposition. The newest red is a spirited Samba red
and it is great for creating an expressive and dramatic look.
Whether your table is filled with glitter and glam or burlap and
beach shells remember that the real reason for the table and
holiday entertaining is to be with family to celebrate this wonderful
and beautiful life.

STICKING TO THE BASICS
NOVEMBER
Sticking to the Basics
Best-selling book gains fresh perspective with
a new edition by local San Diegan.
Article by Whitney Butler
W
idely known for his 1937 book
“Think and Grow Rich,”
Napoleon Hill was one of the
first authors to produce personal success
literature. Hill’s legacy left an imprint on
posterity—his book one of the best selling
of all time. Hill’s foundational principles
illustrate achievement as a process and
formula that is accessible to all.
Hill’s work was largely influenced by his
earlier book, “The Law of Success” and
20 years of research spent networking with
a large number of wealthy and successful
entrepreneurs of the time. But times have
changed, and Hill’s success manifesto has
been updated by contemporary individuals
who share both Hill’s belief in pedagogy, as
well as his passion for personal development.
Hand selected by The Napoleon Hill
Foundation, Greg S. Reid, a San Diego
native, is the newest interpreter of “Think
and Grow Rich,” introducing “Stickability:
The Power of Perseverance.” The teachings
are the same throughout the book, refreshed
by contemporary interviews.
Reid’s appointment to carry on Hill’s
teachings within the framework of the
classic text lead him on his own journey to
interview CEOs, successful entrepreneurs
and creative thinkers that would resonate
with a generation perhaps too far removed
from the original context written during the
Great Depression.
To illustrate the principles with a
contemporary spin, Reid interviewed
the wealthy and successful of a newer
generation. Among them, Steve Woznank,
American inventor and co-founder of Apple
Computers; David A. Williams, president
and CEO of Make a Wish Foundation;
and Garry Marshall, actor, producer and
director of notable films “Pretty Woman,”
“Valentine’s Day” and “Beaches.”
Reid attended Torrey Pines High School
and today lives in La Jolla with his wife and
young son. He enjoys tennis, golf and tacos
from Oscar’s on Turquoise Street in Pacific
Beach—a San Diegan to the very core.

book, visit gregsreid.com.

MIRACLE BABIES

Miracle Babies
providing assistance and support to families in need
By Heather Randall | All photos used with permission
C
harity begins at home. This statement is especially true for
Dr. Sean Daneshmand and his family.
On Dec. 31, 2002, his wife Marjan gave birth to their
daughter Natalie at just 34 weeks of gestation. Daneshmand has
been practicing neonatal-perinatal medicine and pediatrics for
more than a decade, and over this time has witnessed the physical
and emotional turmoil women and families faced with high-risk
pregnancy.
And at 30 weeks into his wife’s pregnancy, the all-too-familiar
occurrences he had with his patients hit close to home. Mrs.
Daneshmand learned she had a complication called placental
abruption, a condition where placenta separates from the uterine
wall. After weeks of hospital stays and the state of both mother’s
and daughter’s health up in the air, everyone was able to catch a
break. Natalie’s birth was a resounding success.
Following the birth of their daughter, the Daneshmands founded
through education, prevention and medical care. The opportunity
to assist these families with the help they need resulted in Sean
Daneshmand being named a “CNN Hero”.
Miracle Babies has drawn national recognition as well. In January
of this year Dean McDermott—most notable for co-starring
with his wife Tori Spelling in their reality show “Tori & Dean:
Inn Love”—competed against seven other celebrities on Food
Network’s “Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off.” McDermott
chose to compete for Miracle Babies because the couple gave birth
to a miracle baby of their own. They faced difficulties with Tori’s
pregnancy of their fourth child, Finn, who was born three weeks

Miracle Babies, a nonprofit that provides assistance and support
to newborns in intensive care and their families in need. The
organization supplies financial assistance and support to families
with newborns in the neo-natal intensive-care unit (NICU) and
enhances the wellbeing of women, children and their families
early. The experience made McDermott want to compete not only
for his son, but for babies and their families involved in the same
situation. Dean went on to win the competition, earning $50,000
for the charity.
This month, Leonard Simpson’s 6th Annual 10 Best Dressed
Awards, a gala that celebrates philanthropists who dress every day
with “the gloves of compassion and a coat of courage,” will benefit
Miracle Babies. Leonard Simpson is a red carpet guru and founder
of the world-renowned fashion production company Fashion
Forward. Held on Thursday, Nov. 21, at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey
Pines, the gala will highlight the award ceremony, as well as a formal
seated dinner, dancing and a live auction.
The work Miracle Babies does greatly benefits the families the
charity encounters. It aims to become the nation’s premier non-profit
resource for NICU patients and their families. The organization is
maintained by volunteers, many of which are parents of prematurely
born children. Miracle Babies urges others to get involved as well,
either through volunteering or making a donation. To learn more,

Christmas Tree Lane serves up holiday
festivities for a worthy cause.
By Heather Randall
F
or more than three decades, hardworking women in communities
throughout San Diego put together a fun holiday event to
celebrate the Christmas season and raise money for The Boys
and Girls Club. This year, the tradition continues as organizers plan the
32nd Christmas Tree Lane event at the California Center for the Arts in
Escondido.
Champagne, cocktails and decadent hors d’oeuvres will be prepared
with care, and plenty of activities will make for a joyous affair. A boutique
show, fashion show and live auction will be available, and community
members and professional decorators provide an extra touch of holiday
cheer with hand-decorated Christmas trees to be raffled off. Each raffle
winner will receive a uniquely decorated tree, as well as a special gift that
accompanies it.
Local firemen and military have volunteered their smiles and charm this
year to assist with selling raffle tickets. Laura Cain of “Jeff and Jer” and
KFMB-TV news anchor, Carlo Cecchetto will emcee for the afternoon, as
well as serve as auctioneers for the live auction.
This year, event committee organizer, Sarah Frazier is serving as the
committee chair and organizer. Frazier participated in several of the past
Christmas Tree Lane events, assisting in everything from decorating one of
the Christmas trees for the raffle, to planning each year’s original theme.
“Christmas Tree Lane is one of the staples that has been carrying the
Boys and Girls Club over the years,” Frazier said.
The beautiful trees will be on display all afternoon, and guests will be
able to shop at the boutique show from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. A portion of
the proceeds from the boutique show are donated to The Boys and Girls
Club to help fund transportation from schools to local Boys and Girls Club
locations.
“It’s really become a tradition for a lot of families,” she said.
The California Center for the Arts is located at 340 N. Escondido Blvd.
