Milagro Silver es Mi Amigo y Su Amigo
by Jason Lightner on December 9th, 2011 | Liquor
In the heart of Baltimore, in Federal Hill, there exists a wonderful place full of amigos y señoritas... The Blue Agave Restaurante y Tequileria.
I've been to this place on numerous occasions – the wait staff is friendly and the bartenders are knowledgeable about their craft. Truth be told, I always feel like an amateur when I venture into the tequileria – they really know their shtick! It's reassuring, though, because I know that I have never once been steered in the wrong direction.
Why, it was in this very restaurant that I skeptically discovered what is, in my opinion,

Fuller’s, Vintage Ale 2010
by J Frazzetta on December 5th, 2011 | Beer
Bottle/Tap: Bottle
Some beers taste better on someone else’s tab, even if that tab happens to be gift certificates to a fancy restaurant you wouldn’t otherwise patronize. On such an occasion, we happened to be drawn toward Riddles Tavern which is located within Buckley’s Great Steaks. I like other brews by Fuller’s and didn’t have a chance to give this a shot when it was released some months back; noticing it on the menu, I opted for a bottle and got to keep it afterward. This was number 114,291 of 125,000.
The interesting thing about this brew is the mixture

Saketini? Sakitumi
by Jason Lightner on December 2nd, 2011 | Liquor, Martinis, Mixed Drinks
Sometimes a man just knows what he wants out of a drink. Tonight, I wanted something to go well with about ten pounds of raw fish from a little place in Chestnut Hill, PA called Hokka Hokka. Cozy, with a splash of style and class, this is one sushi restaurant that I will definitely be returning to, but let's get back to that drink, shall we?
I decided that because I was at a sushi place that it would be apropos to order something with Japanese flair. The night wasn't as cold as the nights prior, so I opted
