Clinton Stark

Clinton shoots videos for Stark Insider. San Francisco Bay Area arts, Ingmar Bergman and French New Wave, and chasing the perfect home espresso shot 25 seconds at a time (and failing). Peloton: ClintTheMint. Camera: Video Gear
Gordon Ramsay

Air Time: WikiLeaks Julian Assange, Hellish Gordon Ramsay

Sunday Espresso: Ottawa, Gophers (still), Jett

As I glance over into our yard while typing this, I envision a gopher, dancing and taunting me.

2009 Sauvignon Republic, Sauvignon Blanc New Zealand (85 pts, $7)

PS I Love You Petite Sirah Symposium Concannon Vineyards

PS – I Love You
