People go to Bern’s for one of two reasons: The food or the wine. While the food is good, we went for the wine. A friend was celebrating his 50th birthday, and was looking forward to celebrating with interesting older wines. Naturally, we were there to help.

Sunday night brought one of the most loved parties of the year in Key West: Azur’s annual End Of Season Closing Party. They will only be closed until the beginning of October, but that is no reason not to have a party. Plus, they need to use all of the […]
You must know by now that I spend an inordinate amount of time on wine. Buying wine, drinking wine, finding the best small production wines, finding the best values, talking about wine, consulting when friends ask what wine to serve with dinner… You get it. It is all about the […]
