Wine
I love it when an under-$15 California cab turns out to be delicious. I'm even happier when the wine turns out to have been made by a Minnesotan, Mankato native Stephen Ross Dooley. The 2011 Flying Cloud Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon ($14) has a splendid balance of tasty dark red fruit, a touch of dust, just-firm-enough tannins and friendly acidity. Available at Dolce Vita, Liquor Time, Black Diamond, Domacin, Sunfish Cellars, Andy's Crossroads (Rochester) and others.

Movie Review: A lyrical portrait of childhood in Cabrini-Green with 'We Grown Now'
Two 11-year-old boys navigate school, friendship, family and change in Minhal Baig's lyrical drama ''We Grown Now.'' It's an evocative memory piece, wistful and honest, and a different kind of portrait of a very infamous place: Chicago's Cabrini-Green public housing development.
