Happy Halloween!! Yesterday I complained about being exhausted from a crazy Halloween weekend that did not involve my going out. Well, that wasn’t entirely true… Lukus runs a club and as you can imagine, Halloween weekend can be a little crazy. So, I was enlisted to help out. And crazy may be an understatement. I… [Read More...]
It seems like a lot of the people in my life are on the precipice of something new. And with all this changing going on it is easy to get caught up in the craziness. So, with this WOTW (that’s “Wine Of The Week” to those of you unfamiliar with acronyms) I suggest you open… [Read More...]

It has happened! Our sommelier David Foss has fallen in love. Okay, maybe love is still too strong a word—- but he has picked out his current favorite winemaker! The wine to do him in? The 2000 Lopez de Heredia “Viña Tondonia” Gran Reserva Rosado Rioja. This rosé is unique, unlike the other girls errr…. I… [Read More...]
I love the Wine Of The Week posts. Because, not only is David introducing you to new wines, he is introducing them to me as well! This wine is particularly interesting as it is made from the Muscat grape- widely considered one of the oldest varietals. It can be made into a table wine or… [Read More...]
There are plenty of good high-priced bottles of wine on the market. But that doesn’t mean I want to spend $50+ dollars for a casual evening. Fortunately, there are also plenty of good affordable bottles as well. And this week’s suggestion from David is the perfect example. We’re talking the Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Côtes du… [Read More...]
