Jeremy Parzen brought Flavio Geretto to Houston this week, and the two gentlemen poured some great wines, wines from Villa Sandi. They opened a Pinot Grigio and some Prosecco. “Soon, Prosecco Rosé will be everywhere,” Parzen says, and I don’t see why it won’t. Geretto, who’s with Villa Sandi, and Parzen, who works with the […]
We’re in Chicago for Christmas, and today at lunch came across a perfect little dish. It was at Somerset, an elegant, two-story restaurant that’s part of the Boka Restaurant Group. The main dining room — Somerset is meant to evoke a country club vibe — is full of brass and leather and tweedy fabric and […]
Angela and I lived around the corner from each other in Brooklyn Heights, a few years apart. We both worked at a financial publication in the Financial District, The Bond Buyer, at different times several years apart. Her apartment on Montague Street was small and cold in the winter, mine on Atlantic and Henry was […]
The holiday season is here, and we’re stocking up on some party and dinner wines. Two that will be on my table are the 2016 Carneros Chardonnay and the 2015 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, notable selections from Frank Family Vineyards.

They were plump and fresh and beautiful. I like simplicity when it comes to chanterelles, and these I gently rubbed clean with a paper […]
The tacos are, with firm intent, meant to evoke stoner food — crispy tortilla shell, fried shrimp, American cheese, arbol chile — and succeed on that count, and more. The shrimp are toothsome and tender, the sauce clearly made with care, and the whole melds into a series of bites that would satisfy your soul […]
The wealth of wine excellence present in the Crystal Ballroom in Houston’s Rice Hotel the other day was so profound that I, upon recounting my experience to several associates, was met with overt disbelief. “You are mad,” one said. “Are you day drinking?” asked another. Well, I am not mad, and had not had a […]
Thursday was a good evening, wine-wise. We began at Avondale Food & Wine for a tasting with Juliana A. McBride of Crosby Roamannn. She’s a vintner, and along with her husband, Sean W. McBride, makes some great wine. She poured a 2014 Sauvignon Blanc, a 2015 Chardonnay, and a 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon; they would all […]

When I found out I would be moving to Houston, back in 2013, I reached out to John T. Edge for some recommendations. I had seen a piece of his in Departures about the city’s food scene, and he told me to go to Underbelly and Himalaya (among other restaurants). About both of those places, I […]
