The joy of doing this is discovering wines you didn’t even know existed. This will continuously be a lifelong journey with no end in sight. And as daunting as that may sound on the surface, that’s exactly how it should be. Unless there is some magical ending, there should never be a final resting place. Well unless … Continue reading Sweet Cat
We had a nice a celebration earlier this week. I was enjoying my birthday and a dear friend was celebrating a raise at their job! And it’s good to honor and commemorate feeling good and being happy! So I wanted to get a wine that had an appealing label and hopefully one that … Continue reading Catching The Butterfly
Hampden evokes feeling of community, and that grows in volume as we approach the holidays. Oh yes, the holidays. I felt like I was just talking about that a few days ago. And I don’t mean another holiday. I mean the holidays. Here we are… I like it quiet, cozy, and peaceful. I like conversation. … Continue reading I Like Chance Meetings…
I find Osteria Da Amedeo (menu, the wine list, and more about them) in the Little Italy neighborhood of Baltimore refreshing. And not just refreshing in terms of beverages. My visits have been somewhat frequent, but I wouldn’t call myself a regular. I’ve been here enough yet I never seem to know anyone and vice versa. … Continue reading By The Glass
There’s something about the Remington neighborhood in Baltimore that is so charming to me. And I may not even be talking about the whole neighborhood, but a tiny block or even half a block area has become another in a line of safe places to be that are away from everyone, yet in plain sight … Continue reading On The Mend
That’s what Pine Ridge Vineyard describes their white blend of Chenin Blanc & Viognier. Which happen to me to grapes I’ve grown to love (not that I ever thought otherwise) over the past few years, simply by varietals finding me. For me, Chenin Blanc & Viognier have always carried an aura about them that feels … Continue reading Captivating Is Right…
Well, yes and no. Yesterday was a bit goofy for me. This past week or so has been a bit goofy for me. I can attribute that to anything. But in the beginning and the end, we have control over how he handle experiences and situations that are thrown at us. Life throws us a … Continue reading Drawing A Blank Here…
I can count the times on one, maybe two hands that I’ve been to 13.5% Wine Bar in the always enjoyable Hampden neighborhood in Baltimore. That number just went up and is going to continue to go up if each visit is like the last one. Every time I’ve been here I’ve always felt comfortable … Continue reading Keep That Momentum..
How often do you got a second to yourself? If you allow it, I bet we have more time to all the things we want, then we realize. It’s an ongoing thing, this thing of ours. No not that kind of thing of ours, but life. Life is good, and going to the places that … Continue reading A Peaceful Day In Annapolis
I recently told a story about sharing a gift I was given with by the gifters. That would make me the giftee. On that same night (more on that night here as well) I brought plenty of holiday gifts to share with the presenters, because it only feels right. Even if you don’t drink wine, … Continue reading Where You Lead…
