...Friday's wedding, then, represented one last chance to keep out the rabble. The real Leticia arrived days before the wedding to avoid the paparazzi, and the groom showed up in a car with tinted glass. The 300 or so guests were quickly ushered through tight security. Outside, at the mock celebration, participants feasted on empanadas, potato omelets and boiled octopus. The menu for the real banquet inside, it is safe to speculate, was decidedly more exclusive...
...suburb of Dallas that evolved from this cool, multicultural community to a testing ground for massive franchises.

Determined not to be dazzled by its price and rarity, I take a sniff and a sip. The bright golden elixir smells at first like almond blossoms, but the aroma quickly ripens like dark fruit. An exceptionally fine mousse of bubbles seems...
