Cheesy Goodness

If you know me well, you know that there are a few things that I really enjoy consuming: fine chocolate, fine cheese, good wine, and excellent beer. My birthday was yesterday, and I can say that this entire weekend was dedicated to enjoying all four items listed above. I picked up four 8 oz. cheese slices this week and I have stared on two of them, Drunken Goat and Chimay Grand Cru. (continue reading…)
Casa Sant’Orsola Brachetto D’Acqui

This wine is the truth… I mean if you or your lady friend(s) like a dessert style (sweet) wine every now and then this is something you must try. It is not as sweet as say, a Moscato D’Asti but its not far from it. What makes this special and rare is that it is a red wine in a semi-sparkling style (Its bubbly but not as bubbly as a true sparkling wine or Champagne). So go out and get you some… keep bothering your local wine reseller until they stock it… but when they do watch as it flies off the shelf. It typically costs between $14-17 a bottle when I have seen it around.
