#288: Frederick Weisman Art Foundation
The Frederick Weisman Art Foundation in Holmby Hills is one of L.A.'s hidden treasures. You need an appointment to view Frederick Weisman's extensive private art collection, but the planning ahead will be worth it. Tours are available Monday through Friday and are free. His modern art collection features Warhol, Ruscha, Dali and much more. Weisman was president of Hunt Foods.

#289: Temecula Wine Tasting Road Trip
Itching to get out of L.A.? A wine tasting road trip might just be what you need. You don't have to travel far to get to wine country. Recently my friends took a romantic road trip to Temecula, a 1.5 hour drive from L.A.. Temecula is home to many wineries, most of which offer wine tastings (from $15-$20), tours and wine classes. Pechanga Casino and Resort is also located in Temecula.
