Two wine posts in a row! Who am I? Seriously, I wasn’t a wine fan until maybe 2-3 years ago… and I still don’t really care for white wine. But I can dig some reds. Lucky for me, the Queen City Classic Food & Wine Tour included allll the red wine. 🍷 This day-trip to… Continue reading Escape for the Day on the QC Classic Food & Wine Tour
Sure, drinking wine is fun, but have you ever blended your own? You can make this happen by attending the Wine Blending Experience at the Ritz-Carlton right here in Charlotte. Sound daunting? It’s not at all. Every Wednesday – Saturday, the Ritz team hosts a wine blending session right outside the Hidden Wine Room (located… Continue reading Blend Your Own Wine at the Ritz
One of my faaaavorite restaurants since day one in Charlotte is Paco’s Tacos & Tequila. The chips. The salsa (green and red.) The guac. The tacos. And… the margs. While I typically can only handle one margarita (sugar overload), it’s hard to resist just the one at Paco’s. They’re refreshing, easy to drink, and full… Continue reading Margarita 101 at Paco’s Tacos
One of very favorite things about “food blogging” in Charlotte is the people I meet. Yes, I obviously LOVE to eat and enjoy sharing my experiences with anyone who will listen, but there is a less-talked-about side (but equally important) to this whole thing. And that’s the people. Here’s a little about a group of… Continue reading Celebrating National Culinary Arts Month with CCSC

Looking to brush up on your cocktail-makings skills? Same. I can make a mean vodka water with lemon (I know, ew) but when it comes to crafting something special, I don’t have much experience. That’s why I was super pumped to take a SHAKE.STIR.SIP.SOCIALIZE Cocktail Class by Liberate Your Palate. Liberate Your Palate was founded… Continue reading Learn how to craft cocktails with Liberate Your Palate
One of my FAAAVORITE restaurants in Charlotte launched new summertime cocktails this month, and you gotta try them. I could go on and on about how much I love Ilios Noche, but I’ll save that for another time. Let’s focus on the dranks. I tried all five concoctions (only two of them in-full, I swear…)… Continue reading New Summer Cocktails at Ilios Noche
Let me start by saying I know NOTHING about wine. Like, nothing. Honestly, I don’t even really like it. I know it’s an acquired taste, and I should really suck it up, but I just haven’t gotten into it. But I’m very curious about it. I watched every episode of Esquire’s Uncorked this year. I have a… Continue reading Wine & Food Pairing: Corkbuzz
Hi people! Sorry it’s been a while. The craziness of the holidays has put me a little behind on blogging. But I’m back at it to talk about a Charlotte favorite: handcrafted cocktails. A few weeks ago, I attended the Art of the Modern Cocktail Party, the kick-off event for the winter edition of the Cheers… Continue reading Drink up, Charlotte!
