Skip the Champagne, Say Hello to Prosecco

Skip the Champagne, Say Hello to Prosecco

I recently became a believer in Prosecco. What is Prosecco? Think of Prosecco as the Italian version of Champagne. Prosecco is a chilled sparkling white wine that comes from the Veneto region of Italy- we’re talking northern Venice. Here’s the deal with Champagne and Prosecco. Champagne can only be called Champagne if the [...] [...more]

Living the Free Life

Living the Free Life

Wait… did I say free? I mostly meant “Living the Discounted Life”. Nothing is free anymore, expect that good old fashioned library card. I did find one mighty fine website for events and cocktail hours that are oh so close to free. The sight is MyOpenBar.com and they’ve got the all the tips [...] [...more]

But Now What Will I Drink?

But Now What Will I Drink?

It’s the nail in the coffin friends. Times must really be tough. MillerCoors has just announced that they’re discontinuing Zima. We all have at least one good Zima induced horror story, right?

The Los Angeles Bar Scene-  Add Parking, Subtract Scene

The Los Angeles Bar Scene- Add Parking, Subtract Scene

  I seem to have lost my way when it comes to the bar scene in Los Angeles.  When I decide to meet friends out for a drink and a bite, not only do I have to deal with cross town traffic, but parking battles, and overly crowded and noisy venues.  It’s enough to make this [...] [...more]

Brunch it Up

Brunch it Up

I woke up this morning convinced that it was Thursday. Alas it’s only Wednesday and that means I’m one whole day away from my beloved weekend. I think this weekend I’m going to call some friends and invite them over for some after church, early afternoon munching. We’ll call it brunch. [...] [...more]

White Peach Sangria

White Peach Sangria

I just realized this week that it’s almost time to say goodbye to peaches. So tragic! I always mourn the end of summer produce. I’m going to try to enjoy peaches to their fullest until the end of September. This weekend my cocktail of choice will surely be White Peach [...] [...more]

Tangerine Ginger Caipirinhas

Tangerine Ginger Caipirinhas

I haven’t even had my morning coffee yet, so it seems unnatural to be sharing a cocktail recipe with you so early in the day.  Something about the beautiful orange color of the cocktail, and the thought of spicy ginger made this cocktail impossible not to share, no matter what time it is.   Caipirinhas are [...] [...more]
