Il Porto
Il Porto reminds me of a good offensive lineman: just solidly doing their job over and over without much flash or fanfare. I’ve eaten at Il Porto twice in recent months and both times came away with the same attitude: … Continue reading

Voila!
Confession time: I hate coffee- dislike the taste so much that I don’t even care for mocha ice cream. My caffeinated beverage of choice is tea and I am nuts about a relatively new place (fiveish months old?) that has opened in downtown … Continue reading

L.O.V.E.
All sorts of catchy titles and puns come to mind but the bottom line is I love the Lebherz Oil and Vinegar Emporium (LOVE). The place rocks! I finally got around to going in there and I have no idea why … Continue reading

Proof is gone
More closings. Proof the bakery/sandwich place on East Patrick Street is closed. The windows are covered with paper. The good news is that the sign says a Thai restaurant will be opening soon. I look forward to giving it a try.

Tangent Paragon Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc Edna Valley 2009
For me a little oak goes a long way. I’m especially sensitive to the amount of oak in white wines as all too often the oak seems to overpower the flavors. Regular readers will know I have a strong dislike of … Continue reading

Riverside Liquors
Like someone who always believes there is something better on the channel he’s not watching I can’t resist stopping by new liquor stores when I get the chance. I took advantage of such an opportunity to stop by Riverside liquors today. Boy was I surprised. … Continue reading
A Desire for Cider
I’ve been on a cider kick lately. It started when I was looking at all the apples we had on our trees. I use very little, to no pesticides/fungicides on our fruit. Consequently they are not the most beautiful to look … Continue reading
