• A Night of Great #Food, #Wine & Hospitality at Lucia

  

  Are you a foodie? I am a definitely a foodie. Furthermore I am an oenophile; a foodie-oenophile is a dangerous combination. Really, I fail to understand how you can be one without the other, but I hear rumors it does exist. I love a good meal. I love a good glass of wine. Combining the […]

• Oh Bordeaux You’re So Fine

  

  I love things in life that offer a sense of time and place. This is one reason I love about music. It has been said that music is the soundtrack of our lives. That sentiment is so true for me. When I hear songs like “Muskrat Love,” “Staying Alive,” “Oh Mickey,” and “Hungry Like the […]

• Hanging With Friends In Low Places

  

  I love live music. Attending concerts is one of my favorite past-times. The excitement heading into the performance hall as the crowd anxiously anticipates the show, escalating up to the time of the opening act, then reaching a fever pitch once that act is done, there is nothing like it. Then watching everyone dance and […]

• Food & Wine Fireworks in Dallas this 4th of July

  

  This past Independence Day we celebrated with our own style of fireworks: food, wine and music. Several months ago my husband received an alert that Third Eye Blind was performing in Dallas on July 4th. He knew I was a long time fan of the band and had seen them twice before so he bought […]

  French wine and soufflé, what could be better on a rainy, cool spring night. My husband and I recently dined at a Dallas restaurant called Rise nº1 Salon De Souffle.  Rise nº1 is a French soufflé and wine bar. Walking into Rise nº1  feels like walking into the middle of a tree from a children’s story. It […]
