Wine
Nothing like an exciting title to get some attention! That is exactly what those two words did for me on Saturday. Attending the Boston Wine Expo, I had spoken with many wineries and distributors and was starting to feel a little overwhelmed with the data. Even though I love wine, I really was thinking it was time to talk about something else, when I noticed the fuschia and black sign with the title, "Sassy Bitch". As I enjoy moments of sassy-ness, I decided I could muster the energy to talk to one more winery before moving onto food.

Beer Review: Ommegang, Hennepin
by J Frazzetta January 25th, 2010 | Beer
Bottle/Tap: Tap
I met up with some friends at StrangeBrew a while back, and I found they had this beer on tap. I’ve seen the bottle in many stores and never pick it up due to price. However, the special of the night was $3 for any beer, so I thought I would give it a try. When instances like this occur, I always take the opportunity to try something for cheap to see whether I like it or not.
Hennepin had a very hazy golden color in the glass; upon further inspection I noticed it had a familiar aroma as

Beer Review: Dogfish Head, Pangaea
by J Frazzetta January 18th, 2010 | Beer
Bottle/Tap: Bottle, Pint +9
This is yet another mythological Dogfish Head beer that I happened to find in one of my local spots. I had heard about this beer before; I just never managed to locate it when it was in season. When I saw it I took the opportunity and dropped the cash. I split this bottle with a fellow beer drinker, and the two of us really enjoyed the complexity of this brew.
First, this beer is named after the super-continent Pangaea. I won’t bore you with the history, so you’ll have to do that on your own. The

Puzzle Me Pomegranate Martini

As a best friend, you have varying responsibilities. Being available to listen, helping when an extra set of hands is needed, remembering the little details that matter. And sometimes you need to create a cocktail for you and your best friends to enjoy while you build the 1,000 piece puzzle that they received as a Christmas gift. Seriously.
Last Saturday we had a date night planned with our friends, OT and Vicki. After dinner at a restaurant we planned to return to their house and work on the thousand piece puzzle OT had received. I asked, jokingly, if we would be
