Do you live in Howard County (or nearby)? Do you love Vinotrip (or other Howard County blogs)? If so, I have some great news for you! Vinotrip and Hocoblogs.com are hosting a joint party/wine tasting at Pure Wine Cafe on November 30. For people who only read bulleted lists on the web, though, here is [...]
While The Wife and I were killing time in Harbor East waiting for our movie to start (The Social Network, it was okay), we stumbled upon the newish wine bar Vino Rosina. Our usual (and only) go-to for a glass of wine in Harbor East is Cinghiale so a new option is most welcome. Their [...]
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 [...]
