2008 Loring Wine Company Pinot Noir Aubaine Vineyard

Twist off and poured this tonight while waiting on some Chinese delivery for the first Friday of Lent.  Something big, that could stand up to garlic sauce and other Asian delights was in order, and this seemed to fit the bill. Nice dark purple color in the glass, with a nice nose of black fruits.

The Shed Barbeque and Blues Joint - Gulfport, MS

A trip to the deep south requires a trip to get some good bbq.  As you all have seen my pictures here (maybe), but definitely on Facebook, you know my love for BBQ, and you know my love for smoking.  I love to smoke anything from meats, to nuts, to cheeses in my smoker at home, and I love BBQ even m

Cafe du Monde - New Orleans, LA

The legend of Cafe du Monde speaks for itself, so while traveling to New Orleans on Fat Tuesday of all days, a trip to the French Quarter was an absolute must.  And no trip to the French Quarter would be complete without a stop at Cafe du Monde for a beignet and some chicory coffee! All of that sai

Le Singe Vert - New York, NY

So when my good pal Joe of Foodie and Blogger fame sent me a note saying that he was heading to NYC from DC, I knew a little trip on the train was in order to meet up with him.  After going through a plethora of Manhattan options, he said that we must make a visit to Le Singe Vert, aka The Green Mon

Eleven Front - Trenton, NJ

About a year ago, my neighbor and good friend David told me of a new restaurant and bar in Trenton that I absolutely needed to check out.  So a few weeks go, I looked at my restaurant "to do" list, and headed to Trenton to give it a whirl.  Unfortunately for me, I didn't check their hours first,

Palate - Newtown, PA

Having spending quite a few evenings a week over in Pennsylvania, it has given me the opportunity to check out some towns I would never have stumbled upon otherwise, and I have found some great restaurants in these areas.  This was yet another trip to charming Newtown, and I stumbled upon Palate. I

2006 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Koplen Vineyard

This is always my favorite wine from the Kosta Browne Single Vineyard Designates, and this did not disappoint on Valentine's Day, popped and poured at cellar temp, though it did have a little time to warm up in the car on the way to Lambertville. Gorgeous Kosta Browne nose with some sweet red cherr

The Boat House - Lambertville, NJ

Sometimes you just don't feel like heading home, so a little trip to check out a place off the beaten path is in order. After a nice dinner and a full belly at Bell's Tavern, The Boat House in Lambertville was just that spot. The Boat House is in the old pork yard, and I have seen it many times on

Bell's Tavern - Lambertville, NJ

Bell's Tavern is one of those places off the beaten path in Lambertville, while on one of the main arteries, if you didn't know it was there, you would never stumble upon it as it is heading out of town. That said, I checked it out on a Sunday afternoon while relaxing and having the day to myself.

1982 Château Haut-Brion

From 29 JAN 2012:  All I can say is that I couldn't be any more grateful to have such generous friends.  In the past year, I have had the chance to drink amazing bottle of Krug, Burgundies from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, and many first growth Bordeaux, including this one, poured by my good NYC pal
