Sneaking Off Into The Vines

Is there no better way to enjoy the tastes of California than sneaking off into the vines with a bag of figs, sun gold tomatoes, olives, prosciutto, local olive oil, burrata, a French baguette and a bottle of cold chardonnay?

Late Summer Tomatoes

With Kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper and a mason jar, the sweet tantric flavors of late summer last into the winter.
