Had lunch at The Falls last week and took a good hard look at their wine list. Al Spoler, host of WYPR’s Cellar Notes has put together a nicely pruned, very diverse list of styles from around the world all in the $20-$30 neighborhood. Bonus points were earned when I saw that all selections are [...]
Infrequent Vinotrip Guest Blogger Jon takes his blog and goes home to review Room 11, a wine bar in DC. Writes Jon… I like Room 11. High praise, indeed.
Feeling really disappointed about this right now, but I don’t know why. Early on, I felt that this thing had no chance. There was a bigger groundswell this year though led by the blogs, the twits, and the MWBBL. Through letter writing and showing up to hearings, people did a great job of letting the [...]
Taverna Corvino, the restaurant the replaced Junior’s in Federal Hill, is open. Beer in Baltimore has some scoop. I stoped by before opening today and perused the bar menu, a range of appetizers in the $6-$9 range, as well as cheese plates (three cheeses $11); dinners reportedly hover around $16-25. Grape Leaves Online reports that [...]
Cinghiale, the Italian Osteria sitting out on Lancaster Street in uppity Harbor East in Baltimore, has some good specials running this month. Monday nights in October they’re doing Monday Night Flights. $49 gets you a antipasti, salumi, and long flight of wines based around a specific region in Italy. October 13th is Piemonte, the 20th [...]
Sloughing our way through Dulles airport to our gate to take off to Frankfurt, I was happy to see a Vino Volo tasting bar sitting right next to our gate. Vino Volo began a push into airports in 2006 is up to nine locations including one each in Baltimore Washington International and Washington Dulles. Interesting [...]
The Wife and I were wandering through Fells Point three Fridays ago when V-NO Wine Bar pretty much fell out of the sky and greeted us. Sitting out on a nice spot facing the water, the place had a scrappy elegance about it when we walked inside. The menu (and retail section) is organized by [...]
Hello fellow Vinotrippers. I know you’ve been waiting for this post with unbridled anticipation – the second of the guest posts with Gary AFK. Hopefully this will be worth your patience. First, a little about me. I’m Jamie and I’m a highly-educated wine connoisseur (read: avid bar-hopper who lived in San Francisco for 2 years). I’m also [...]
The Wife and I ate at Junior’s Wine Bar in Federal Hill a few months back and the experience was mediocre and fell short of the snoty-tooty blogworthy standards of this Blog. Nothing was bad, but nothing blew me out of my chair and into my Merlot. Things changed last week when I got a [...]
Right on the main drag as you come into Rehoboth Beach sits a little gem of a wine bar. The Wife and I stopped in there Thursday night and were both pleasantly surprised. The three staffers that were on hand were all completely knowledgeable about wine. Being Dogfish Head transplants, they also knew their beers. [...]
