I had originally planned to leave the office early this Friday, go home, open a bottle of wine, cook some mushroom tacos, and watch the sun set. Those plans were derailed because it was just way too nice to go home. Instead, we went to our favorite wine bar, Riposo, and had wine with a [...]

This past week was a rough one. After spending almost a week partying in Las Vegas and then hosting the big 40th birthday party at our place, I planned to settle down a little bit and have some early bedtimes. My plans were quickly spoiled when I received an invitation from a friend of mine [...]

Feeling the need to relax, stay out of the wet weather that is plaguing New York City, and deal with a plunging stock portfolio resulted in yet another Friday night hanging out at home with friends. The fun part, as it turns out, is that for the same $42 that I’d normally spend at the [...]

Not wine and cheese. Cheese and wine! This Friday, I am back in Manhattan in Chelsea at Caselulla, which is billed as a Cheese and Wine Café. I’ll admit to knowing my way around a wine list (most of the time) and they presented a great and encompassing list that included a Rosè wine (perfect [...]

The last Friday of the first quarter of 2009… who really keeps track of these things? Well, apparently, accountant types do. A few years ago, my business partner and I started operating The Bicycle Shop in State College, PA and at the time it seemed like a good idea for us to get together quarterly. [...]
