Wine and restaurant reviews
Gabriele and I are just back from a visit to San Francisco. Of course we did a Napa Valley day, and that will soon provide content for a nice long post. We finished a fun day of vineyard visits and tastings with dinner at Greystone restaurant, a fantastic place operated by the Wine Spectator and […]
Saturday night Gabriele and I had a very enjoyable experience at Evo Bistro in Mclean. It describes itself as a “tapas and wine tasting bar” and was recommended by a friend. Here’s the Post’s take from last November: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/21/AR2007112100830.html It was clear something was up as soon as we arrived.

Last night Gabriele and I had dinner at 2 Amy’s. It’s a well known place in NW Washington but one neither of us had been to previously. We’re big Pizzeria Paradiso fans and that’s where we head when in the mood for top notch pizza. We still are, but 2 Amy’s is excellent as well. It’s […]

With relatively little fanfare, this company has become the dominant provider of email and digital subscription management services delivered. These services are made available via a software as […]
When I was on the corporate side doing more traveling and attending various tradeshows, it was easier to combine work and wine. There is less opportunity to do that on the agency side, but last night they came together. Marc Hausman (aka The Strategic Guy) and I met with our client Dev Ganesan, COO of Aptara. Aptara is […]
Kinkead’s has long been one of DC’s best restaurants for seafood, and the Washingtonian restaurant was ranked #9 in last month’s Washingtonian magazine. I hadn’t been there in years, so Gabriele and I decided to to see for ourselves last night. We had a terrific dining experience. The atmosphere, service and food were all first rate. […]
Hello and thank you for visiting! Let’s get right to it with the first post. Last night my wife Gabriele and I had a very nice dinner at Bonefish, in the Kingstowne area of Alexandria. We went a little on the late side to avoid a wait — no dice, packed and they estimated 60 minute wait. Luckily there was […]
