the L.A.gant girl recommends.......{NAIL'D Spa and Lounge}

If you've read my bio, you know I am was a holder of secrets; secret jewels of L.A. that I didn't want the masses to know about.  I was fearful that the crowds would dilute my experience or the overall quality of my findings.  But I've grown! Matured if you will.  This place I'm sharing was highly recommended by secret source.  I am still in a conundrum on whether I should share or hold it close to my heart.  (Although some of you may know about it anyway!)  But because I wish them so much success, I must pay it forward!

Nail'dis sleek, chic, and superb.  It is truly L.A.gant: fun young and refreshing!  I believe nail shops to be the bane of urban L.A.gant existence; or urban existence period due to the unprofessional-ism, crowd, wait time... I mean really I could go on.  Nail'd surpasses all of the inferiority by: being appointment only (there's barely a lobby for walk-ins), having clean and sleek white decor with framed affirmations aligning the wall, competent and knowledgeable technicians, and soulful tunes in the background.  Add their stamp card program, affordable pricing oh yea MIMOSAS and you've got my favorite nail salon in the CITY!!! acrylics sold separately...like..at another salon. (ok, I kidd)

Remember....... a few weeks ago.....when I told you about the urban food phenomena!?...... About Trap Kitchen, All Flavor No Grease and such??  Well, as you may know there are others.  Just as delish! Urban food concierge is a movement, and this weekend a number of them will be in ONE PLACE, SIX HOURS, TWELVE companies, ONE  low admission PRICE (in addition to your food purchase).  Some of them include MR. FRIES man and Taco Mell .  My suggestions!!!  Also, A little taste of Chyna, Bleu Kitchen and All flavor No grease.

Wine Wednesday: HOGUE Late Harvest Riesling

L.A.gant boys and girls, put the Moscato down.  I beg you.  Any self respecting urbanite will shun Moscato and pick up it's sophisticated sister: the RIESLING.  (Pronounced Reez-ling) If sweeter wines are your forte for now, steer towards this late harvest Riesling.  The later the harvest, the sweeter the wine and the alcohol content is slightly higher.  This wine will not disappoint.

Here are the deets:

Alcohol: 12.5% (pretty darn good for a sweet!)

Variety: 90% Reisling 8% Gewurztraminer 2% Chenin Blanc

Notes: 
Peach
Melon (again, NO its not mixed in the wine)

Vintage 2014

price range:  $8-$11

find Hogue at your local Ralph's, BevMo and (my fave) Total Wine and More, it's a great outdoor summer wine!
