The Joys of Tastings
Wine & Beer Tasting!! What a delightful idea! I think it’s my childhood love of “sample day” at the grocery store reincarnated. Just as I looked forward to finding the best snack sample, in my adult life, I can peruse a variety of wine and beer and determine which will be my social partner for the coming months. There’s no doubt that buying wine and craft beer can be intimidating. Will that beer really taste like oranges? Will the $7 bottle of wine be a disappointment? Will the $20...

Well, we’re just over 2 weeks into the New Year. How are those resolutions coming along? As I sit here and nibble on a giant brownie, I’m wondering if other people are as weak as I am. Healthy eating? Ha! Have you tried our desserts?? But not everyone is a sweet tooth like myself. So what is it that you can’t resist? A crunchy bowl of chips? That perfectly cooked slice of pizza?

Read MoreBest Winter Beers
If there is one thing people in Michigan know well, it’s WINTER!! Freezing temps, hats & mittens, and piles of snow! So it should be no surprise that our local breweries have turned out some great beer that is perfect for this season. In contrast to refreshing, Summer beers, Winter beers tend to be darker, heavier, and more robust than their warm weather friends, which make Porters and Stouts excellent choices. You’re likely to find heavy flavors of chocolate and coffee – perfect for a cozy...
Read MoreWhere’s Jack??
Our resident ghost, Jack, is certainly an object of speculation among our guests. Several times a week, we will be asked, “Where’s Jack?” My personal preference is that we let sleeping dogs lie, but for those looking to have “contact” with our tenured guest, the world wide web offers the following advice: * There’s an App for that!
