We had a blast hosting our first wine tasting at home for the Newcomers Club of Ridgefield. Our theme was excellent French wines for your Thanksgiving table. When registration opened, we quickly hit capacity with 20 unknown neighbors, mostly couples, registering! We had to cap the event at 20 because that’s really all we can […]
While visiting some family on Cape Cod, we decided to meander into the main retail wine shops of Wellfleet, Massachusetts to see what was shaking. We’re always on the lookout for interesting and creative labels and cool shelf-talkers that tell us about new wines. Boy, were […]

In general, we’re huge small-business supporters. We relished them living in NYC—all those unique spots with that je ne sais quoi ambiance you get when a business is a person, or a family, or a dream. That special sauce you just can’t find in cookie-cutter franchises. And we really enjoy supporting local businesses that support us. […]

The luscious red received 91 points from James Suckling, one of the most respected and widely read wine critics out there today. (You’ll recall he was once […]
Our family loves to take some R ‘n’ R on Anna Maria Island every chance we get (usually once a year; twice, if we’re lucky). We enjoy seeing our relatives there, swimming in the beautiful blue-green gulf and feasting on local seafood. And, what goes perfect with Gulf oysters, fish and shrimp? Our Fournier Sancerre, […]
Much to our delight, two David Milligan Selections wines earned 92 points in the October 2018 Wine Spectator.

Through marriage and […]
