Greetings from South Lake Tahoe….I’m perched right here on the state line between California and Nevada at Harvey’s Hotel on the south shore of one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, Lake Tahoe. I winged up here to catch the American Century Golf Championship. What a week? Chilly mornings, sunny all day, with the temps rising into the low to mid-seventies. And humidity? What humidity? This place is heaven!!!
Watching the likes of Michael Jordan, Tony Romo, Emmitt Smith, Aaron Rodgers, Ray Romano, Former VEEP Dan Quale and scores of other celebs golfing has been how I’ve filled my days for the past week. At night, the dining experience at Friday’s Station at the top of Harrah’s Hotel was a throwback to the good old days of my youth when I’d fly up here with my parents, Sir Winston III who used to live at Monty’s in the Grove, and my mom, Winnie. They still have the same waiters when I was here 25 years ago…and the food…amazing…..traditional, but consistent and served impeccably, just as Bill likes to do it at Bill Hansen Catering. I’ve eaten there twice already this week, and tonight will be my last visit before soaring back to the Grove on the jet stream. Too bad I don’t drink….(it’s bad for my feathers and I have to fly tomorrow) , but the wine list there is amazing. Aside from the fabulous 360 degree view, they specialize in a wide variety of Certified Angus and USDA Choice beef and ocean-fresh seafood specials. Tonight I’m ordering the seafood platter with diver scallops, prawns, oysters, mussels and king crab legs….yummy.
That’s all for now…almost dinner time.
All my best…Sir Winston of Villa Woodbine
