This is not a column about sour grapes…I have a tremendous respect for my friends and colleagues in the news business, BUT… They work very hard to do a good job. My beef is more at the national level. Since 9-11 and up until I left WOAI last year, viewers constantly told me they don’t […]

When I look for info from the local experts on wine, I often turn to Janet Easterling and Joe Baker. Both are sommeliers, and both are incredible wine connoisseurs. Janet is currently a wine consultant to a number of upscale San Antonio restaurants. She also can be found at Bergheim Cellars on Hwy 46, so […]
Head out to the Rim shopping area to try Maggiano’s Little Italy-the newest restaurant to open here in SA. Mike and I have been fans of Maggiano’s for years.

Another new restaurant in the Stone Oak area for you to try called Tresca’s. It’s located in The Plaza at Concord Park on Sonterra Blvd. I’m a huge fan of it’s owner – Dan Ward from Piatti’s and Luca. Dan’s warm management style not only attracts top staff but also loyal customers.
With the popularity of wine at an all time high, more and more places are specializing in wine. Wine Styles on Huebner at Bitters is a very fun wine boutique that has a special event for ladies once a month called “Women Gone Wine” It’s popular and it’s fun!
Wine bars are becoming more and more popular. They’re a great place to sample a variety of different wines. If you’re a pinot noir fan, wine bars can offer you a chance to experiment and try several different pinots at the same time – a fun experience for your palate.
I get asked that question all the time! That’s a tough one to answer. I don’t have a single favorite restaurant. It goes without saying that all the restaurants featured on my site fall into that category – I asked Morton’s, Paloma Blanca’s and Luciano’s to be on the website here because I am a […]
