The California Wine Bar at the SF Giants stadium is a hit with fans.  The people selling the various wines will help you match a wine your food.  "You got a hot dog?  Is that with mustard and onions?  I think I'd go with a hearty red ..."

Forrest Lundsway just married Rose Pollard after being together for 30 years.  What's the big deal?  It was on Forrest's 100th birthday, she's 90.   His secret to longevity besides staying active is whiskey and Seven-Up and fried food.
