ish, and carrots with an herb vinaigrette.” Her brown rice bowl was sourced from a third- generation organic rice farm going back a century in the San Joaquin Valley. “Mixed into it is a carrot purée with garlic, cumin, and turmeric,” she texted, “and on top, spicy braised black kale and pome- granate seeds. I’d heat that up together and add the home- made labneh and pickled rad- ishes cold.” Each dish was packed in
a recycled plastic container, including a guava coffee crumb cake for dessert. She also throws in a wedge of fresh bread with each meal — in this case a recipe featuring flax seed and preserved Meyer lemon that I sliced and toasted with butter.
The salad was fresh, with
crisp greens — and though there wasn’t quite enough herbal vinaigrette to drench them as much as I like, it had a lovely bright flavor. It was pretty easy to heat up the seasoned rice dish, even if the presenta- tion suffered from my clumsy microwave technique. But the dark braised kale still con- trasted nicely against the cold toppings Wise had provided. The understated dish proved hearty and satisfying, and if I wanted more at the end it wasn’t from any portion shortcoming, but because I had been enjoying each bite. Wise has plans to expand
her service to other days of the week and to eventually include a wine option.

Baja Winery Trek Eighty miles from the border lies the Valle de Guadalupe wine country, a clus- ter of some 100 vineyards scat- tered between the hills between Ensenada and Tecate. Often referred to as the Napa of Mex- ico, it’s increasingly perking the curiosity of oenophiles from near and far. Given the distance and rural terrain, we’ll be forgoing our usual mode of transport for a van with room for 13. Tickets include roundtrip border transport, tast- ings at three wineries and dinner at Finca Altozano. The group meets at the San Ysidro trolley station at 10am, with an estimated return to the border at 9pm turistalibre. com. Saturday, November 5, 10am; $160. San Ysidro Trolley Station, 700 E.
