Back before I met Danny DeVito and even before I attended the Wicked Wine and Brewfest, I was in Vermont with friends on Labor Day. Our normal tradition would be to visit the Woodstock Inn Brewery and enjoy food and beer, but this year we were in Vermont and decided to hit up Long Trail for something different.
I had been to Long Trail a few years earlier, and it was nice to return. The ride up Route 4 to Bridgewater Corners was a scenic one, and the weather was great to boot. We arrived at Long Trail and noticed a

Vanilla-Cherry Delight
by Michele on September 25th, 2009 | Cocktails, Martinis, Mixed Drinks
Although last Sunday was the second weekend of the NFL season, it was the first weekend that my husband and I were able to make snacks and spend the afternoon lounging.
We had a great menu of Teriyaki Steak, Broiled Tomatoes & Cheese, and Hot Corn Dip. Our menu had no theme, we simply chose appetizers by themes: a meat dish, a veggie dish, and a dip. With no theme for our food, we had unlimited options for our drink making.
I decided to take a look in our liquor cabinet to begin my brainstorming. I had purchased cherry vodka recently,

It may not always be sunny in Philadelphia, but Saturday the 19th there was plenty of sun in Nashua. With his own line of limoncello to promote, Danny DeVito spent some time at the New Hampshire State Liquor Store in Nashua to sign autographs and take pictures for fans.
I may be the resident ‘beer guy’, but seeing how I am Italian, limoncello is within my jurisdiction. Limoncello is a lemon-flavored liqueur hailing from Sorrento, Italy. All limoncello, including Danny’s, is made in Sorrento, so you know it isn’t a knock off made in a bathtub. Served ice cold, this thick

Peach-Cherry Martini, Two Ways
by Michele on September 18th, 2009 | Cocktails, Martinis
We had the pleasure of my mom's company for a couple weeks at the end of summer. While I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her and my family, I think the best part of the trip was an evening I spent with just her. As my husband was away on business and the kids weren't home, the two of us were left to our own devices.
I had told my mom about Tapas Night dining that my husband and I enjoy on most Mondays. She always seemed interested in the dishes, so I decided that she and I would have

Wicked Wine & Brew Fest, Mel’s, Litchfield NH, 9/12/09

Despite a little rain and some overcast conditions, Mel’s Funway Park was bustling with eager patrons attending the second Wicked Wine & Brew Fest. The event had been held last year in Hollis, and this year was changed to a more central location near Manchester. Either way, people were out in droves, and the goodness was flowing.
Aside from the obvious wine and beer, there were vendors from: Cozy Tea Cart (great tea), Tastefully Simple (with beer bread mix), Kettle to Keg (way better than Mr. Beer), The True Nut Company (awesome almonds) and other local vendors getting
