A wine blog by Susannah Gold
Two Italians come to town and the issue is always what and where are we eating. It's no fun to take them only to Italian places so if they are close friends I take them to certain places that I particularly like and think they will enjoy. Once such place is Ed's Lobster Bar. I... Continue Reading →
Today is Ferragosto or the holiday that celebrates the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. That said, mostly it's a day when every Italian save the very unlucky few, is on holiday.

A couple of weeks ago I had the occasion to stop in at Maslow 6, a lovely wine shop run... Continue Reading →
Before I became an Italophile, I was a mad Francophile. I studied French for 12 years and lived for a period of time in Dijon, France and became acquainted with lovely wines from Burgundy and Bordeaux but not too many wines from the Loire Valley. In the intervening years, I have spent much less time... Continue Reading →
