For those who want an easy taste, they are pouring Tatomer's Sisquoc Riesling for $9 in a nice sized 6 oz. glass at Three Pickles on Canon Perdido Street right now.

Sorry to miss the Travel Store, but the Blue & Green Guide did feature a list of more than 35 local businesses offering services, gear, etc., including most outdoor stores.
Here's the update listing: http://www.independent.com/news/2012/...
If others want to be added, all they have to do is ask.

Thanks for your support, blackpoodles!
Now if we could just post your comment everywhere that our friendly 21st century Prohibitionists show up, as they are a rather vitriolic bunch (of two or three people).
In short, we cover the wine industry because it is: 1) interesting to a large part of our readership, both locals and, god forbid, tourists; 2) arguably the single most important economic engine in Santa Barbara County and one that employs thousands from all walks and classes of life; 3) probably the most prevalent type of small, family-owned businesses on the Central Coast; and 4) a fascinating culture that goes deep into human history.
If you don't like it, then simply stop wasting your time by reading it and commenting. You just make Santa Barbarans look petty and, frankly, childish.

I don't have Gas Pods yet, but they drive a Volvo, and I took them at their word. While the official studies show a 5 percent improvement in efficiency, the real world improvement appears to be more.

Yes, that is a good point related to the Best of Arts round-up, but the oversight is more a matter of history and format than a comment on the attention we pay to the visual arts, which remains substantial. The annual round-up has always focused for whatever reason on performing arts, with rare exceptions such as Charles' selections, as most of the writers don't even think of including visual arts when asked to submit their thoughts. But we can try to remember visual arts when we do it again in the future.

As an editor at the paper, I'm admittedly biased, but 64 Visual Arts articles in one year isn't too shabby, is it? That's more than one per week, and doesn't count the quarterly round-ups either.
Thanks for reading!

It says "this Sunday" in the second sentence, so that would be this Sunday, September 23
