Pigall’s Last Day

February 28, 2009

I walked through the kitchen of Pigall’s for both the first and last time today. I’ve eaten there before– when it first opened– and had eaten at the Maisonette when I was in high school. I was unable, due to a breakneck schedule, to work in any time to visit it one more time before [...]

An Open Letter to Bar Louie.

February 28, 2009

Dear Bar Louie: Thank you for being open and serving food past 11 PM. It amazes me, that, in Newport, Kentucky, there is no place to get both drinks and food after 11 PM. Considering there is a movie theater, a comedy club, and a cabaret, not to mention several local theaters within walking distance [...]

Review: Limoncello, Boston (North End)

February 25, 2009

A few other people from my office were in Boston, and after a happy hour, I got dragged (oh, darn) to Limoncello, in the North End. The warnings I had heard were: if you go to the North End, avoid any place that has the Godfather (theme or music) playing, or that looks like a [...]

In Beantown!

February 24, 2009

I’m in Boston for the next couple of days, so posting may be a bit light. I’ve already had some fantastic chowder for lunch (at Jacob Wirth) and nearly died to see the fresh oysters on ice at the airport of all places (Legal Seafood serves it up at Logan, too, it seems). Too bad [...]

Review: Drinks and Apps at Pub at Rookwood Mews

February 23, 2009

Sometimes, you don’t want a meal. Sometimes you just want to hang out with friends, good drinks, and some appetizers. The Pub at Rookwood Mews, owned by the same group that owns deSha’s and Nicholson’s, is a great spot for just hanging out and munching on British-inspired appetizers. The bar, furniture, and decorations were all [...]

wine me, dine me’s super hip oscar party.

February 22, 2009

I, like the ladies over at westside foodie wannabes, am having an oscar party at home. So exciting– takeout sushi, Miller Lite, and if we don’t fall asleep, maybe some Carr’s ginger-lemon cookies for dessert. And who am I rooting for? (And I so called The Duchess winning best costume. We’ll see how I did [...]

Mo Egger’s Top Ten List

February 20, 2009

…as a foil to Cincinnati Magazine’s list. Mo, I figured you would have placed TTC higher… I would just like to establish that we here at wine me, dine me are anything but stuffy (and not affiliated with Cincinnati Magazine).

Shameless Plug: Hamlet

February 20, 2009

Man, it’s busy over here at wine me, dine me. Falcon Theater opens Hamlet tonight at the Monmouth Theater in Newport. Oh, yeah, and I’ve been rehearsing for it since January. And so has The Boyfriend. So, if you want a rousing good time with sex, intrigue, swordfights, crazy people and wine me, dine me [...]

Review: Paella at Your Place

February 18, 2009

I love to throw parties. I love to cook, I love to decorate. I love seeing friends enjoy themselves! Sometimes, though, I want to skip the cooking-and-cleanup part. I’m often really over involved (aren’t we all?) and want the party without the prep and cleanup. That’s where Paella at Your Place comes in. Hector Esteves, [...]
