We had lunch at The Bistro, just across from the entrance to the Biltmore Winery during our recent trip. It’s one of the three restaurants we sampled on our brief stay. It may be our favorite. The decor is comfortable yet elegant. The menu for both lunch and dinner is very good, although we only Continue reading Dining Review of The Bistro at the Biltmore Winery http://www.redwineplease.com/the-winery-and-wines-of-the-biltmore-estate/ 
Housed in what used to be a thriving dairy barn is a winery which produces just under two million bottles annually of vinifera wines, using estate grapes, North Carolina sourced fruit and West Coast grapes as well. The Winery at the Biltmore Estate is big, efficient, a gracious host and also makes some excellent wine.

We were recently heading back to the Winston-Salem area to visit our daughter and son in law, and this time we tacked on a couple of extra days to make the drive to Asheville and visit the Biltmore House. This has been something on our list of things to do for quite a while, Continue reading Visit to the Biltmore Estate, a Destination in Itself http://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-of-todd-englishs-bluezoo-at-walt-disney-world/ 
This is the last, and somewhat overdue, review of the restaurants we visited during our recently past Christmas holiday. Todd English’s bluezoo is located at the Dolphin Resort on the EPCOT lagoon. This area is probably our favorite place to stay at Disney World, as you have direct access to two parks from this spot Continue reading Dining Review of Todd English’s bluezoo at Walt Disney World http://www.redwineplease.com/italian-wines-and-food-at-tutto-gusto-wine-bar-in-epcot-center/ 
It was Christmas Day, the parks were really crowded and we felt the need for a little refreshment and relaxation. Lunch at the Coral Reef had been good, but after three hours of crowds we felt the need to sit. On a whim we strolled back to the Italy Pavillion and poked our heads into Continue reading Italian Wines and Food at Tutto Gusto Wine Bar in EPCOT Center http://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-of-tutto-italia-at-walt-disney-world/ 
We recently got the family together at Disney World over the Christmas holiday and stopped in at Tutto Italia for dinner our first night. The restaurant is located within the Italy pavilion at World Showcase in EPCOT Center, and replaced the previous sit down restaurant a few years ago. Tutto Italia has a charming Continue reading Dining review of Tutto Italia at Walt Disney World http://www.redwineplease.com/summary-of-trip-to-disneyworld-christmas-2013/ 
We held a small family reunion at Disney World in Orlando, Florida over the holidays this year, and spent five excellent days with the Mouse. There were some ups and downs but in general there were a lot more ups. We’ll be sharing some restaurant and wine reviews and some Disney resort and park experiences Continue reading Summary of Trip to Disneyworld, Christmas 2013 http://www.redwineplease.com/recap-of-the-2013-greenwich-wine-and-food-festival/ 
Cheri and I just attended the Greenwich Wine and Food Festival and have to report that it is a fun day, with excellent food, more wine than we expected and an impressive array of celebrity talent. You can stroll around for a while enjoying the abundant food options, try some wine, a new cocktail or Continue reading Recap of the 2013 Greenwich Wine and Food Festival http://www.redwineplease.com/trip-to-the-berkshires-september-6-8-2013/ 
Recently we had to make a run to Cooperstown, NY to bring Alex more of his stuff as he starts his graduate program. Since the weather was beautiful and we had a few days off we took advantage and stopped in the Berkshires for two nights. This is a trip we have been talking Continue reading Trip to the Berkshires, September 6-8, 2013 http://www.redwineplease.com/fast-cars-food-and-fun-at-the-montreal-grand-prix/ 
Coming out of the Hairpin at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve This June my son Alex and I took the drive up Route 87, the Northway, to Montreal for the Formula One Race. Alex is a huge fan, and I have become one as well, so this was much anticipated and represented his college graduation present. Continue reading Fast Cars, Food and Fun at the Montreal Grand Prix |
