We were both pleasantly surprised and happy with the selection. The white was light and not too dry or sweet.

2006 Wolf Blass Brut
by TK on July 31st, 2008 | Australian Wine, Sparkling Wine, Wine
When you think of Australia you think of a fun-filled country full of spirit and jovial people. And the burgeoning wine business in Australia is very similar. Most of the reds are light and flavorful, but lack the depth of European or California reds. My wife and I are not big white wine drinkers, but on a recent celebratory trip to Emeril’s Restaurant in New Orleans, I decided on a bubbly white wine from Australia, a 2006 Wolf Blass Brut.
Beer Review – Leinenkugel’s, Summer Shandy Ale

Rule of Citrus – None
Here is a good dare: next time you’re at a bar and a friend has a few beverages, make them say Leinenkugel to the server or bartender until they can say it right. This is usually a good way to pass time. Another way to pass time is to try a Summer Shandy Ale.

I’m going to share some of my favorite beer spots. I visit these places to purchase and discuss different beers. Say it with me now: road trip! Let’s start this week with Tyngsboro, Massachusetts.
Wine Review: Razor’s Edge Cabarnet Sauvignon
by TK on July 22nd, 2008 | Australian Wine, Red Wine, Wine
Australia has grown into a force in the international wine community. And one of the more recent Australian imports comes from the Razor's Edge Winery. In 2004, they came on the scene with a Shiraz that received much critical acclaim.
Last night, we had the chance to try the 2006 Razor's Edge McLaren Vale, Cabarnet Sauvignon. It was like many Australian Cabs in that it was smooth, but did not overwhelm you. Like most great bottlings of Cabernet, it had notes of a mild herbal aroma, which were followed by big fruit flavors.

Robert’s Maine Grill
by Michele on July 18th, 2008 | Restaurant Review
Getting ready for a vacation, we decided to do some shopping. We were tired of the area malls and wanted to try something different. We had nothing on our schedule for the day, so there were no time or distance constraints.
We decided to travel to Kittery, Maine, and shop the outlet stores. With a plethora of outlets to visit, we spent several hours checking out cool kitchen gadgets and looking for new clothes for both of us. By early afternoon, we had developed huge appetites. Not wanting to leave Route 1, where the outlets are
