I just saw the San Francisco Symphony perform with Michael Tilson Thomas conducting in his final year with SFS. Tickets were scarce, and I wanted to be able to see the faces of MTT and his troupe, so I sprang for top cost best available. It was my first visit to Mondavi Center, and I was very impressed. The venue is lovely, and the amenities are excellent. The seats are larger and more comfortable than Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco, and there is no bad seat that I could see. I am happy that I sprang for the high end seat I got, but I also now know that I don't need to do that in the future, any seat would be good.

I was visiting a friend in California and our visit to Great Bear Vineyards was definitely the highlight of my trip. The wines were superb, and I especially liked their award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon. What made the visit special was the tour of the 10 acres of vineyard surrounding the winery and the tour of the barrel room, with the owners, Jenny & Marcus. We learnt all about the process of grape growing and wine making. Given the hard work, care, and passion put into every step of growing and hand-harvesting the grapes, and making the wines, I now understand why they taste so fabulous. Highly recommend visiting this excellent winery for the ambiance and for the wines.

I bought 3 great Japanese Block Art style T-shirts there that I love! There's quite a variety of items there, not just paintings and sculptures.
4. Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art

Reviewed By JDZatSF - San Francisco, United States
Situated on the UC Davis campus, just off Highway 80, the Minetti Shrem museum is a stylish oasis. And it's always free to enter, which I appreciate. I enjoyed the approach and easy parking, the big gong is fun and resonant, the entry way is dramatic, and the museum is welcoming, stylish, and feels good. The museum itself, as well as its artistic contents, provokes thought, just as any good art should. The museum is well worth stopping into and then wander around the campus for a while...
