Here it is: Wine: 2006 Tenute de Cerro La Poderina Brunello di Continue reading Cellar Time – 2006 Tenute de Cerro ‘La Poderina’ Brunello di Montalcino Please follow and like us:   
 
On a recent business trip I found myself dining at Matadora, inside the Hilton Boston/Woburn Hotel in Woburn, MA. This is a Spanish Tapas restaurant with a comfortable, open and modern vibe. The night I was there a solo performer playing guitar and singing Spanish songs added to the authentic atmosphere. The restaurant is located Continue reading Restaurant Review – Matadora: A Bit of Spain in Woburn, Massachusetts Please follow and like us:
Gran Passione is a line of wines which celebrates some of the greatest areas for Italian wine, and, in all cases, the passion and intensity that Italian winemakers apply to their craft. They offer traditional wines from the Venteto, Piemonte, Campania and Puglia regions.

Here’s a quick review of a recent purchase, and a pretty solid value. The wine is Cabernet Sauvignon, gets good scores from the wine press, and only cost us $15. Chances are you’ll find it, or the 2016 vintage of the same wine, for under $20. It’s quite good for the money and something to Continue reading Good Cabernet Sauvignon for $15 Please follow and like us:
We love Jamestown Fish. As the name implies, it is a restaurant on the island of Jamestown, in Rhode Island, and it specializes in Fish. Actually, more like seafood in general, but the name is very descriptive none the less. This is a great place for lunch in the summer, a late afternoon bite or Continue reading Jamestown Fish! – Top 100 Best Wine Restaurant! Please follow and like us:
I have always been wary of wine in cans. Good wine in a box – now that I agree with. Not all of them of course, but I have tried good ones in the past.
