Floataway Salad

March 19, 2012

I had a wine dinner with some friends at Floataway Cafe this past weekend. I was more than a touch embarrassed by the looks we received as we cut a wide swath through the center of the restaurant, toting in our own wine glasses and fifteen bottles of wine. More than a few sips of wine helped […]

Krog Bar – (By the Glass?)

March 1, 2012

Anyone remember the By The Glass series I did for Creative Loafing, which fizzled out after a few write-ups? Anyone? OK, maybe not. But I thought it a good concept – visiting ATL restaurants and checking out their by the glass offerings with a few bites of food. When it comes to wine lists, BTG […]

Pricci

February 27, 2012

It’s funny how cravings hit some times. Standing around having a Negroni with a friend, I said, “man, I could really go for some good Italian food – it’s been a while.” And with that, we had a dinner planned for a group of us the next week. When he told me we had a […]

Alsace / Capital City Wine

January 16, 2012

Here are some wines I picked up at Capital City Package store at the corner of Collier and Howell Mill. Now, a few people commented on a recent post, saying they tend to glaze over when I post about wine. But one person did elaborate, saying I tend to talk a lot about wines that aren’t […]

Favorites of 2011 [Booze]

December 24, 2011

Moving on from cooking, we guzzle on over to booze. Mostly wine, some spirits. If you are not a wine geek, or aspire to be one, it may be best to just skip this post. And I realize listing some of these wines is a touch braggadocio, but let’s be real, food blogging is often […]

Le Caveau Fine Wines

December 11, 2011

While I have a full blown wine problem, I admittedly don’t buy a lot of wine locally. Over the last few years I’ve been able to really hone in on what I like, and I’ve found a few online distributors who specialize in these wines. One also acts as middleman for collectors who are selling […]

wine, food, fun, etc.

September 29, 2011

I’ve amassed a bunch of crappy iphone pics (and crappy good camera pics) to share with internet-land. Operation photo barf commencing. How about the above bar near Lake Burton? I’m considering opening a satellite location in College Park. The wines I’ve tasted lately have continued to be an embarrassment of riches. Le Montrachet (right) is one of […]

Côte de Nuits

September 19, 2011

Here we are getting goofy in the Côte de Nuits, the greatest stretch of vineyards in the universe, as far as I’m concerned. Covering a short 25-30 miles from Dijon to Beaune, it contains all of the red Grand Crus in Burgundy, except for those South of Beaune in Corton. It is a special place, hallowed […]
