“Corbeaux is a reflection of our talented team, as well as my style, taste, passions, and whimsy,” says Regan Schneider, owner of the French-Asian style restaurant, wine bar, and tea house, Corbeaux. “We try to provide something unique while still leaving room for spontaneity.”
Corbeaux is a tasting room for Matin Du Bois Vintners, the family-owned winery where Schneider took over as winemaker at just 22 and started incorporating natural winemaking. At Corbeaux, you can taste Schneider’s wines along with others from small natural wineries, and experience afternoon tea, flagship tea and wine cocktails, or a daily prix fixe dinner menu. At its heart, Corbeaux is about discovery, bringing together food, wine, tea, and thoughtful details in a setting designed to inspire curiosity, conversation, and connection.
Schneider will soon have more to share. A new retail apothecary concept, The Naturalist, will feature her own phytofermented, bioactive skincare products, while the back room will house a cocktail lounge and restaurant, Ducks in a Row.
Most homeowners want two things before they commit to a remodel: a realistic sense of cost and a clear picture of what the finished space will look like. Milan Design + Build helps deliver both through its online remodeling estimator and personalized design consultations, supported by a showroom experience and 3D renderings.
“The online estimate gives homeowners a starting number in about a minute, and the showroom and 3D renderings let them see materials and layouts before anything is built,” says David Noriani, CEO of Milan Design + Build. “Keeping design, permits, and construction with one team helps us manage expectations and keep everyone working toward the same vision.”

Modern design is a particular focus for Milan, with an emphasis on clean lines, natural light, functional layouts, and carefully selected materials. The team adapts each design to the homeowner’s lifestyle and the character of the property. Milan Design + Build combines thoughtful design with construction expertise, creating spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful.
The online estimator covers kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, full-home remodels, and ADU construction. At Milan’s showroom on Carroll Road, visitors can review real materials, finishes, and design options, meet the design-build team, and discuss project scope, budget, and timing. Consultations can also be held virtually for homeowners who prefer to start remotely.
At Milan Design + Build, one integrated team works on the entire project. Design and construction aren’t divided between separate firms. The process begins with a consultation and feasibility review, followed by design, space planning, and 3D renderings developed from detailed measurements and digital scans. The team also coordinates architectural plans, structural engineering, city approvals, and material selection, with construction overseen by a dedicated project manager.
Homeowners can explore their remodeling options, get an initial estimate, or request a design consultation at MilanBuild.com.
Celebrating Women Profiles 2026: The Woman of Bread & Cie Bakery/Café

When Dori Kaufman and her husband opened Bread & Cie in 1994, the artisan bread craze was just beginning to hit the United States. “We wanted to be part of that excitement and become the first bakery in San Diego to offer these wonderful breads,” Kaufman recalls.
Today the café is a cornerstone of the San Diego community, offering a vast array of European breads, pastries, quiches, sandwiches, and salads. It is a repository for people’s memories, traditions, and connections: Challah for Friday night Shabbat, rosemary olive oil vines for Thanksgiving, and a place for kids to come to with their parents after soccer practice and to continue returning to with their own babies years later.
“We thank everybody for welcoming Bread & Cie when we first opened our doors three decades ago and for continuing to embrace us today!” Kaufman says.

Scripps has recently unveiled new features in the MyScripps patient portal and mobile app to help patients connect with their primary care team and simplify the payment process. Among the recent updates is the addition of primary care E-visits for minor conditions. Patients who have an established primary care physician can schedule an E-visit, complete an online questionnaire and, if needed, send a photo. Their doctor can then advise and prescribe medication, when appropriate. Autopay is also now available through MyScripps. Patients can enable or disable autopay, allowing them to more easily manage payments. Learn more about MyScripps and how it helps patients stay connected here.

Farrah Adams had a persistent dull ache in her lower back that her massage therapist suggested might be caused by the way she sat or drove. That explanation seemed reasonable, but when coupled with heavy, painful periods led the then 46-year-old to seek answers. When she looks back on it now, she’s beyond grateful she trusted her gut. She made an appointment with a Scripps OB-GYN, who determined she had Stage 3 cervical cancer that had spread to several lymph nodes. Farrah was overwhelmed, but immediately found a “champion” in Scripps Clinic gynecologic oncologist Jo Marie Tran Janco, MD. After undergoing successful treatment at Scripps Cancer Center, Farrah is now using her story to inspire other women to make time for care. Read more of her story here.

In the last several years, there’s been a surge in FDA approvals for what’s known as oral oncolytics. Oral oncolytics are targeted cancer therapies that come in tablet, capsule or liquid form that patients can take at home, rather than in an infusion clinic. Scripps physicians have seen exponential growth using this approach, with patients citing convenience as a major quality-of-life enhancement in their cancer treatment. This approach also allows treatments to be customized based on specific genetic mutations and a patient’s unique disease biology. Find out more about oral oncolytics here.
