FINEST HOURS… Churchill drank. A lot. So it’s clear that a good drink develops leadership skills, the ability to write powerful speeches and more… maybe. The good news is that LadySomm can help you become just like old Winnie. On Saturday, April 20 at 4pm, the wine salon hosts “Champagne with Churchill.” And although the man himself won’t be there, the champagnes he enjoyed will be. So will Gin Sander, author of Churchill: A Drinking Life. Guests receive a copy of the book. $49.99. 3728 The Barnyard, Carmel. ladysomm.com.
LONG VIEW… Happy 75th birthday, Nepenthe. The legendary Big Sur restaurant was set to celebrate with live music, a belly dancing performance and homemade cupcakes on April 24, but then Highway 1 collapsed and plans changed. That’s part of making it for 75 years in Big Sur. Stay tuned for future celebrations later this year.
SCENT-SATIONAL… Indulge more than just your sense of taste. Folktale Winery & Vineyards is putting on a sensational evening with the help of Johnny Wicks Candles.
