Barfly Live: Maybe ‘normal’ wasn’t as normal as it should have been

  “This glass has lipstick on it,” said the server through the drink window. I smiled, because I have not heard that in over a year, and then I frowned, because scrubbing industrial strength lipstick off of glasses is a real pain. All glasses in a restaraunt must be washed with detergent, usually in high [...]

Bouchaine Vineyards: Come for the falconry, stay for the wine

Kate Marden and Islay   It’s the impressive rush of air that you feel first, as the hawk’s four foot flapping wings create enough back force to allow three inch razor sharp talons to land first. Death is supposed to happen upon impact, often in mid-flight, and that impact arrives faster and quieter than one [...]
