Tasting and Book Signing with Brian Talley
 Ridgway recently hosted 35 people for a wine and recipe tasting along with a book signing with Brian Talley of Talley Vineyards. Brian’s new cookbook, Our California Table, celebrates the Talley family’s legacy as one of the most influential agricultural families along California’s Central Coast dating to the 1940s. More than 50 beloved family recipes are accompanied by stunning photography and an inspiring story. Brian and Tony cooked up samples from a selection of recipes from the book for guests to sample, while Sukie poured wines from Talley Vineyards as well as their Bishop’s Peak label. Brian was available for book signing following the demonstration. We were thrilled to welcome Brian, a long-time friend and respected representative of his industry, to Naples and to Ridgway and Tony’s Off Third. Additionally, we were pleased to indirectly support the Fund for Vineyard and Farm Workers, which was founded by Brian and Johnine Talley to provide grants to nonprofit organizations that provide for San Luis Obispo County farm workers and their families, and benefits from sales of the cookbook.

New White Cake at Tony’s Off Third
 Tony’s Off Third has perfected (in our humble opinion) a new recipe for white cake. Be forewarned, it’s addictively good. Be equally forewarned, if you or your loved ones have a sensitivity to almonds, a smidge of almond oil goes into the batter. It adds a nice sweetness and balance to the cake, we think. We invite you to try for yourself. We think it’s pretty excellent. And if almonds are an issue, not to worry – all of our other cakes are nut-free, including our carrot cake!
