Guiso Latin Fusion in Healdsburg, "a family owned bistro style restaurant serving authentic Latin American and Caribbean dishes," made OpenTable's Top 100 restaurants list. We love their elotitos: small slices of corn in Jamaican jerk seasoning with butter, garlic and chive crema. (Heather Irwin)

KJ is not a restaurant – weird.
Not a winery but our little Guiso Latin Fusion in HBG made the list!! ??
Nice, except I don’t understand why the winerys’ dinner series are included in this category as they are seasonal events.
In the case of KJ, it is just a PR stunt, trotting out Farmer Tucker to give the impression that they are stewards of the environment.
Same wondering here, because to that end, Simi among many others would need to make the cut.
After five years I decided I would get out of my previous job which improved my way of living… I commenced working at a task through the internet, for a company I discovered over the internet, for some hrs each day, and I earn definitely more than I managed to do on my old job… Very last check I got was 9 thousand bucks… Exceptional thing about this is the fact I get additional time for my family members. Test it out, what it’s all about… cut.sx/auP/
