As much of a Europhile as I am, I can understand and even support the all domestic wine policy started by LBJ. Yes, perhaps some of the foreign dignitaries have influence enough to get well-reputed U.S. wines in their own...

. I generally uphold a no Soho policy unless absolutely necessary. Favorite business lunches: Brasserie Beck or the Passion Food places, aforementioned DC Coast or Ceiba or Arcadiana. Sadly Corduroy is a little outside the 3...

Yes, that’s another plus for Houston’s – competent bartending. My wife, JJ, says that their mojitos are among the best ever. I personally wish that Houston’s would change up their wine list a bit to...

You can try and return it to the Whole Foods Market and see what they say. Their “customer service” policy on the website doesn’t exactly spell out what they’re going to do....

partake of domestic wine at a museum that honors American food, wine and the arts. You might call ahead to find out the corkage policy and let them know what wine you’re planning to bring. You can gauge their response and...

I agree. After thinking about this more, it would seem safe to say that the policy is only in place because the restaurant—for whatever reason—has experienced challenges with the amounts that have (or haven’t)...

I’m kind of surprised about the chocolate. I have been using their Milk and bittersweet for sometime in home desserts. No it’s not Callebaut but it’s certainly better than most domestic choices. And I the same...

of those: 1. Silverlake Wine (casual, most night 3-4 bottles poured) 2. Red Carpet, Glendale (good wines, focus on domestics) 3. Heritage Wine, Pasadena (again more domestics but a mix) 4. Bodega, Pasadena (just a wine bar, no great...
