If you look at any dining guide for Newport, RI, you are always going to see one restaurant near the top. That restaurant is Bouchard, on Lower Thames Street. This stalwart of French cuisine is generally crowded, requires reservations, and gets lots of 5 star ratings. We were recently out with friends during Newport Restaurant Continue reading Dining Review: Bouchard in Newport RI http://www.redwineplease.com/dining-and-wine-review-vino-volo-at-philadelphia-airport/ 
On my way to Slovenia for a visit to the Vinska Klet Goriska Brda winery, I had a stopover in Philadelphia before flying to Venice. In this case it was a long layover, and usually that means a drink and something to eat. True to form I ended up at Vino Volo right in the Continue reading Dining and Wine Review: Vino Volo at Philadelphia Airport http://www.redwineplease.com/review-of-taste-carolina-restaurant-tour-and-restaurants-durham-north-carolina/ 
Having a day or two to ourselves recently in the Raleigh – Durham area meant we were going to be searching for some restaurants. To get a jump start on the task, and really get a quick feeling for the downtown Durham restaurant scene, we booked a three hour restaurant walking tour with Taste Carolina.

On our recent trip to the Raleigh Durham area we were looking for a good place to get lunch on a Sunday. We eventually settled on brunch instead at Coquette Brasserie in North Raleigh. Generally we like Brasseries, and this one continues that trend. In fact it is one of the best we have visited.

We’re in Providence semi-regularly, and find our way to Trinity Rep for a play six times a year. There are a lot of restaurants to choose from in the city, and that’s a good thing. There’s actually quite a few a stone’s throw from the Trinity Repertory Theater as well, so choices do abound. One Continue reading Dining Review of Rosalina in Providence, RI http://www.redwineplease.com/trip-to-goriska-brda-slovenia-part-2-history-nature-the-capital-and-a-little-more-grappa/ 
Here we continue with our report on the recent trip to Slovenia and the Vinska Klet Goriška Brda Winery. Good things just kept happening. Sunday, or day three, was all about history, and this region has plenty of it. WWI brought long, bitter and fierce fighting to this region, as the mountains were won and Continue reading Trip to Goriška Brda, Slovenia Part 2: History, Nature, the Capital and a Little More Grappa http://www.redwineplease.com/trip-to-goriska-brda-slovenia-part-1-wine-food-great-people-and-a-little-grappa/ 
This is a review of a recent trip to the Goriška Brda area of Slovenia, and in particular the Vinska Klet Goriška Brda Winery, who hosted eight representatives from their U.S. distributors as well as myself. Slovenia was an unknown to me and almost everyone I talked to beforehand. Most A beautiful place!

UPDATE – JULY 2016 Since the positive review was published below we went back to Brutopia for lunch in June, 2016. This experience could not have been worse. There were not many people there, but the kitchen, for some reason, was horribly backed up. We had a drink at the bar and a couple of Continue reading Visit to Revival Brewery and Brutopia Brew Pub http://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-of-devon-seafood-grill-in-hershey-pennsylvania/ 
You don’t generally equate good seafood with Hershey, PA. Chocolate obviously. Probably a good steak house as well, but seafood? Imagine our surprise when during a recent visit to Hershey we stumbled upon Devon, a classy, first rate restaurant which knows how to do everything right, but is focused on seafood. If you haven’t guessed Continue reading Dining Review of Devon Seafood Grill in Hershey, Pennsylvania http://www.redwineplease.com/repost-dining-review-of-metacom-kitchen-in-warren-rhode-island/ 
Last weekend we managed to get three busy couple’s schedules to coincide for a few hours and we got together with some friends at Metacom Kitchen in Warren, RI. The restaurant has only been open here for about seven months, after converting the building from what had been a pub into a fine dining establishment.
