I am a fun-loving, wine drinking, Key West living gal sharing restaurant reviews, food and wine tips, crazy stuff that only happens in the Keys and more. Happy reading.
So, there I was, driving south on the Overseas Highway, from Fort Lauderdale to Key West. Somewhere around mile marker 94, I decide to pull into a gas station, use the bathroom and get a beverage. I stroll into the mini mart and find my way to the bathroom, which […]
I am a wine geek. Some would call me a wine snob (they would be wrong), or picky (they would be right). Nonetheless, I am a geek. I have internet wine friends. I travel across the country for the sole purpose of drinking wine with people I have never met, […]
On the heels of eating the best smoked fish dip EVER (there, I said it) from Eaton Street Seafood, we went to Hogfish Bar and Grill on Stock Island for lunch. In case you are not familiar with hogfish, or as it is sometimes erroneously referred to – hog snapper, […]

So, there I was, enjoying a lovely morning drive to Key West. I was supposed to be there for an 11:00 AM appointment, which kept getting pushed back, until we finally manged to connect at 5:30PM. city life to Island life is going to be quite a little adjustment for […]
