Getting A Brazilian
Xingu Black Beer is 5 percent alcohol and brewed by Cervejaria Cacador in Brazil. It pours a dense black with a malty aroma and little head.
Nest Leaves Feathers Ruffled
I decided that rather than barbecue, I would try some Cajun. I ordered the crawfish po’ boy, fries and a side order of crawfish etouffee. I’m not sure why I felt the need to overdose on crawfish.
Carmenere – A Happy Accident
After giving Malbec its due praise, it’s time we pay homage to Chile’s accidental love-child, Carmenere. (Not an accident in the way you’re thinking).
ROTC Gives Great Comfort
The bouillon dip tasted better than any au jus I’ve ever had. It was bold, rich, smooth and not even slightly pretentious.
Get Your Easter Chocolate
It’s not the chocolate bomb I was expecting, but a nicely balanced stout from a company with a brewing tradition that dates back to the 1500s.
Barbera Grapes
The barbera grape typically makes a hearty, deeply colored yet drinkable red wine that’s great with food.
Malbec World Day
It’s time to start celebrating the 1st Malbec World Day coming up on April 17.
Bacon-wrapped Shrimp Wins
After First Thursday, I was tired and ravenous. I needed somewhere to eat where I could get fast, good food. El Sol, which is in the shopping center at the corner of Crossover and Mission, happened to be on the way home.
Triple Yuck!
I couldn’t finish this beer and that is usually not a problem when I’m drinking a Belgian ale.
