You are here: Home / About

My name is Liz and I’m an eater, wine drinker and traveler on California’s Central Coast. I’m also a food & wine writer, photographer, recipe developer, web designer, social media maven and Certified Specialist of Wine (CSW).

I spent 18 years creating content for corporations in Texas, California and Switzerland, including men’s pants, company brands and Presidents, food & recipes, and the Google blog. Then I fell in love with the Central Coast, and have been marketing and creating content for local companies for over 12 years, including Edible SLO, Edible SB and wine country magazines.

Now I write The Last Bite for Edible Santa Barbara magazine, and explore all the tasty treats and delicious spots that I find in California and beyond. Follow along for all the info plus my recommendations!

I’m also totally obsessed with local Bubbles – California’s Central Coast champagne, so I created the area’s first Sparkling Wine Maps!

This site is all about tasting California’s Central Coast: all the food, wineries, restaurants, and sparkling wine from Paso Robles, Avila Beach and San Luis Obispo on down to Santa Barbara wine country: Santa Maria Valley, Los Alamos Valley, Foxen Canyon, Santa Lompoc and the Santa Rita Hills, Santa Ynez Valley, Los Olivos, Solvang, Buellton, Santa Barbara, the Funk Zone, and Summerland.
