It doesn´t get much more charming than the Georis wine family´s tiny rustic French eatery. Choose from four entrées nightly – the roasted chicken is French comfort food defined – and then serve yourself from generous platters of salade Dijonnaise and a bottomless terrine of the chef´s soup. Glasses of house wine made just for La Bicyclette put the experience over the top. Dolores and Seventh, Carmel, 622-9899. http://www.LaBicycletteRestaurant.com

The most recent addition to Georis Properties is the Carmel Valley Art Center. Located directly across the street from the Georis Winery Tasting Room & Gardens and the Corkscrew Café, it is home to Walter Georis’ art studio and gallery. Walter designed this building to provide a comfortable setting for him to paint in and to display his art. The gallery is open by appointment only or when Walter is there painting. http://www.WalterGeoris.com For complete portfolio.

A legend of the California surf-rock instrumental scene of the mid ‘60s, The Sandals have kept their legacy alive thanks to a number of home grown releases on their own Tri-Surf Records label based out in Carmel, California. Way back in 1964, the band—featuring founding members Walter Georis (guitar, voice), John Blakeley (guitar, mandolin) and Gaston Georis (keyboards)—recorded their influential soundtrack for the Bruce Brown surf movie classic, The Endless Summer. The perennial popularity of that movie classic gave the group a renewed spirit and since their reformation in the mid ‘90s, The Sandals have released a number of classic instrumental guitar albums including a rerecording of their original Endless Summer soundtrack. In 1995, The Sandals released an acoustic-flavored guitar album entitled Milagro and, in 2002, The Sandals follow-up the sound of Milagro with their latest CD Silvertone. The mostly instrumental 70+ minute Silvertone CD blends a wealth of sublime acoustic and electric guitar work with flavorings like Spanish, African and French Bayou folk melodies while also adding in a couple of vocals. Featuring contributions from several fine side players, Silvertone is a different, yet equally fascinating side of a guitar band that helped shape the sound of surf-rock back in the ‘60s. http://www.Tri-Surf.com
