Again, everyone has a second job up here in Mendocino. Margi, a long-time innkeeper here at Brewery Gulch, has a band with her husband, Jorge. Pura Vida is extremely popular in Mendocino county. Their pan-latin repertoire includes rumba, mambo, chachacha, samba and cumba. Pura Vida was recently featured at the Anderson Valley Pinot Festival. You can listen to clips from their latest CD here.
I like to cook. I really like to cook, but I need a recipe to follow. I’m not the kind of person that can look at a few ingredients and create a dish.
Many of our guests marvel at the flowers on display at the inn. Most think that we have a florist that brings in the fresh flowers on a regular basis. But the truth is, we have our own in-house resident flower magician, Margi Gomez.
In addition to being a talented horticulturist, Margi is also an accomplished painter and a founding member of Pura Vida, a 7-piece Afro-Caribbean group (http://www.puravidamendo.com). In her spare time, Margi anchors our Guest Services desk weekday mornings.
