Delighting in delicacies like fresh mollusks—particularly escargot—and the occasional culinary adventure at Quince or Atelier Crenn, Michelin-starred havens of gastronomy in San Francisco.

Wine

A few bottles that can turn any evening into a celebration:

Champagne: Salon Blanc de Blancs, Krug Clos du Mesnil
Reds: Château Margaux, Opus One, Sassicaia
Whites: Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet, Château d’Yquem Sauternes

Desserts

Rich chocolate mousse or delicate macarons—always in the mood for something decadent.

Fabrics

Silk and lace for everyday elegance, and cashmere for those cozy, indulgent nights in.

Bubble Baths

Long soaks with Jo Malone bath oils, especially Red Roses or Peony & Blush Suede, are my ultimate luxury.

Shopping

I adore hunting for vintage finds and antique treasures, especially anything from the Charles Eastlake era.

Fragrances

Independent fragrance houses with unique, unforgettable scents are my passion.

Architecture

Colonnaded walkways never fail to captivate me with their timeless elegance.
