We knew we wanted to check out The Wine Kitchen but walking down North East Street from an antique store, I saw huge steel wine tanks inside an old brick warehouse...the home of Frederick [...]

Arrogant Frog: This Cute French Frog Makes a Great Wine

Arrogant Frog is an estate-bottled wine from the Languedoc region of Southern France. I discovered it when living in Amsterdam and was so pleased to find it available in the U.S. last summer. The label grabbed me in our Amsterdam wine shop. The playful art and fun names, like Ribet White (Chardonnay-Viognier), Lily Pad Pink (a Sparkling Rose), [...]

We stopped into The Barrel Room, a tasting room and 30-seat restaurant, within this huge facility for some wine and apps. [...]
