Romantic vistas in Ventura

With its rugged terrain and its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, Ventura County is home to some of the most magnificently scenic vistas found not only in Southern California, but also anywhere in the world. It’s getting close to the time of the year where the hearts of young and old alike seek out special places where they can share special moments with those special people close to them. There are quite a few places throughout Ventura County where those moments can be most memorable. Here are a few of them:

  • Grant Park: Home to one of the most breathtaking vistas in all of Ventura County, the summit on top of Grant Park gives a lustrous 360-degree view of virtually all of the county, the Pacific, and even the Channel Islands on a day when the weather cooperates.
  • Ventura Beach Trail: From the mouth of the Ventura River, all the way to San Buenaventura State Beach, the Ventura Beach Trail offers ample opportunity to explore just about all of the varied topography of Ventura County. And because of that, there also is ample opportunity for smitten couples to spend a quiet moment or two when they stroll along arm in arm. (more…)

super bowl party

There are few occasions that call out for good beer and good food like the Super Bowl. This contest of gladiators of the gridiron brings out a hunger and thirst like no other, and if you are hosting a party or get-together of any sort you better bring your “A” game for the biggest game of the year. Depending on what you’re serving, you should probably stock up on a wide variety to beers and snacks for your Super Bowl party:

  • Wings: Wings are a foundation of just about any get-together involving football, and nowhere are they more important than at the big game party. However, to get the most out of them and maximize their spicy, smoky, and savory flavors, it’s best to pair wings with a beer such as an American-style India Pale Ale (IPA).
  • Brats and dogs: These football staples deserve to be front and center at any Super Bowl party, but few people know which beers truly complement their unique flavors. Though every culture has some form of sausage, why not go right to the source and pick a German beer for your party? Try a beer that won’t overwhelm the flavor, such as a Marzen or even an Austrian Bohemian-style lager, to make your dogs really bark.
