Last month, I had the opportunity to attend Pineapple Grill's Winemaker's Dinner with the owner of Landmark Winery, Michael Colhoun.  The food was some of the best I'd had on Maui, and I enjoyed listening to the family's history in winemaking.

Can a 10 year-old girl Save the World?  Well, maybe she can't save it, but she can change it.  One animal at a time.  My friend Stuart, a local police officer, told me about his daughter, Kaylee, who had started her own Retirement Stables here on Maui.  She came to him with an idea: she wanted to provide a safe place for animals that might otherwise face an uncertain future.  With her father's support and encouragement, Kaylee has taken in dozens of animals--horses, sheep, pigs, goats, and chickens.  In fact, employees of one of the local farms chipped in to purchase a goat that was going to be sold, so that they could bring it to Kaylee to ensure a long, happy retirement in West Maui.   Kaylee's father is as dedicated as she is, working extra shifts to supply the ever-expanding menager...

I am thrilled to have a sampling of recipes from Lahaina Grill featured on this month's Local Flavors.   Maui has many wonderful restaurants, and West Maui offers the lion's share.  We have everything from Pan-Pacific Cuisine to Local Mix Plate Restaurants, and everything in between.  You can dine beach side with your feet in the sand, or look over the Kapalua Resort from the spectacular location of the Plantation Clubhouse.  Lahaina Grill is my favorite place to celebrate any special occasion.  The service is always impeccable and the food amazing.  Proprietor Jurg Munch is sharing some of his favorite recipes with us:  Pupus include the Maui Onion and Sesame Seed Crusted Ahi, the Kona Lobster Crab Cake, the Reconstructed California Roll, and the Bufala Tomato Salad.  Deserts include t...

Wishing everyone a Mele Kalikimaka from Kapalua, Maui! When I woke up this morning, I was awed by the bright and sunny day.  It's been a gorgeous week, but today everything seemed to sparkle!  I began thinking about all of my friends and family that can't be here, so I took a stroll through the resort and captured a few pictures of Christmas in Hawaii to share with you.

Kapalua's Plantation Estates: Homes for the Holidays The last week of the year signifies the beginning of our real estate season here in Kapalua, as visitors escape chilly winters in favor of bright sunshine and tropical beaches.  The SBS Championship (formerly the Mercedes Championship), is also a tremendous draw to the area, as this invitation only tournament begins the golfing season.  As Sellers begin to prepare for the season, it is not uncommon to see several new listings, and the Plantation Estates is no exception.  This week, three spectacular estate homes are now listed for sale ranging from $9,600,000 to $16,000,000.  All three are located in one of the most prestigious and sought after areas of the Plantation Estates, along the 18th fairway.  The reason these home sites are c...

I had the opportunity to stop by Duke's new Beach Houserestaurant at the Honua Kai Beach Resort.  It's a lovely open air dining, with a spectacular view.  The decor has a laid back, island casual style perfect for Maui.  The original Duke's is located on Waikiki, and is a part of TS Restaurants, famous here on Maui for local favorites like Hula Grill, Leilani's, and Kimo's.  I've heard that Duke's Beach House will be open for lunch starting the 15th, dinner on the 19th, and breakfast on the 21st!  Call 808-662-2900 for reservations.

Kapalua Resort, Maui: Real Estate Update: The Kapalua Resort real estate market has definitely seen an upswing in activity.  Back in July, we were at about 47% of the sales volume of the same time that past year.  At the end of November, it was a difference of only 15%.  Counter-intuitively, the average sale price was also comparable to the same time in 2008.  While sales have been largely at the lower end of each market segment (Golf Villas for condos, Ironwoods for oceanfront, and Pineapple Hill homes), the sales of the Ritz-Carlton Residences and Mahana Estates helped to elevate this average.    Here are some highlights of the MLS activity in the Kapalua Resort looking back from the beginning of December 6: Active Listings: There are a total of 137 active listings in the resort, rang...

Each year, the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua kicks off the holiday season with a festive tree lighting ceremony.  It's one of my favorite events to attend, and draws visitors and kama'aina from across the island.  This year, the theme will be "At Home in the Islands."  The evening includes live entertainment, keiki hula dancers, and a visit from Santa Clause. The event is complimentary and will benefit the children of Maui's homeless resource center.  Where: The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua Makai LawnWhen: Friday, December 4, 2009 5:30 pm For those of you that won't be here on the fourth, don't worry-the beautiful lights stay up for the month of December, and make for a lovely evening stroll in the resort.
