End of an era on Muni. Used to go there a lot and had a few friends be wine club members. Honestly, the last few times I've tried to go, the vibes have just seemed off. Staff there doesn't seem very happy. I feel a lot more welcome at the other tasting rooms around, but maybe it's just me.
We made it to Manifattura this weekend and it was incredible, but I'm really excited to see what Appertivo is retaining. Now we'll have two great spots to choose from.
Wishing Son y Sabor the best. That building just seems to be cursed. I can't imagine the rent for a building of that size on State St.
Love and look forward to your newsletters every week. My husband and I both appreciate all the work that you do ~ we hope that you are able to continue with the amazing updates of all the changes in our community.

The site is invaluable. Keep up the great work!
Love this Erik! Looking forward to seeing you and Adam next month!
Erik,
Love all the interesting information you dig up.
Keep it up!
Thanks for all the hard work, Erik. It’s helped me discover a lot around town. A short list: many great shops I hadn’t been in for Christmas shopping. One of my favorite restaurants, Little Mountain. That’s just in the last month. And I love reading the Get Out of Town series.
There are so many! We asked Erik to spotlight a worthy benefit (aren’t they all?!) and he replied with the same. He has to draw the line somewhere, and I appreciate that. Of he changes track, though, the watershed commences!!
Sarah, so well said! I look forward to every email (can’t keep up visiting every site daily, so husk hugely appreciate the recaps). I use the restaurant updates and general news often in my professional life. More research than I could ever undertake! Erik, you are appreciated, admired and undoubtedly under compensated for the value you provide to your audience. We thank you. If only adoration bought groceries.
Thank you to everyone for the truly lovely comments.
Crossroads was our fave food experience as well!
Dear Ken
I moved from Montecito a year ago and treasure getting my Siteline newsletter. Thank you so much for giving me some SB to still hold on to. And in such an entertaining and informative package.
Would you mind sharing, for fun, some of the "fun Vegas activities for teens" that you refused to do?
You and Adam (and Barbara!!) are welcome over anytime. The hubby and I are weird, fun and not afraid of being judged. Thanks for all you do!
You're filling a niche Erik, and doing it so well; thank you for that.
Barbara sounds like a lot of fun!
Happy New Year Eric!! I LOVE Siteline and look forward to reading it every week. Being a major foodie I really enjoy the restaurant updates. Thanks for all you do to keep us informed!!
Haters hate because they are jealous. Keep on doing your amazing work with Siteline. It’s my entire go-to for anything Santa Barbara and I’m always telling people about it! Your hard work is appreciate by many!!
Erik! I love siteline and look forward to reading it whenever I get it…keep up the good work and a big thank you !
We were turned onto your website shortly after moving here in 2021. Thank you for so much for having it and we do rely on it for restaurant recommendations, etc..
Love your food stuff. Please never stop making this!
Honestly, ramp up the honesty more if only to piss off the Montecito right wing NIMBYs.
Thank you for the virtual road trip. What a wild ride. So much great information about Vegas. I will use it on my next visit. Bravo!
Jamie
Comment section is definitely a plus. Please keep it.
Ditto. It’s a pleasure to read the Siteline. Thanks for your care.
Good idea LE! For lesser known local events it would help them with exposure while providing the SB community something we could be missing out on. I'm sure we'd all appreciate it.
