I have had the pleasure of meeting Steve Reynolds with Reynolds Family Winery at several of the Triangle Wine Experience functions in Raleigh NC throughout the years, but I have not truly had the opportunity to sit down and sample his wines and hear his story.
Taylor’s Wine Shop in Raleigh NC organizes monthly wine dinners [...]
Today I had lunch with my dear friend Fitz who used to own a local wine shop here in Raleigh and now manage the Total Wine in North Hills. As you read my posts, you will find I mention him a lot. Meeting people like him is what makes wine so enjoyable. He’s a down-to-earth [...]
When I find a wine priced at $20 that drinks like a $60 bottle I want to shout it from the rooftops! (PLEASE don’t raise the price Titus). Once again, thank you Fitz at North Hills Total Wine for introducing me to the Andronicus. A blend of 74% Cab, 16% Merlot, 6% Malbec and 4% [...]
I can always count on my buddy Fitz at the local Total Wine here in North Hills to show me the way. I normally don’t shop at corporate wine stores but knowing and dealing with Fitz it doesn’t feel that way. He always makes time for me, shares great stories, makes me laugh, is very [...]
Nothing pleases me more than supporting small wineries and when I heard about Tobacco Road Cellars I was thrilled. Why? To begin with their juice is out of this world but the cherry on top was that the founder of Tobacco Road Cellars, Jason, lives right here in my town of Raleigh NC!

On one of my trips to Napa in ‘07 I brought home a trilogy of Twomey Merlot. Being a huge fan of Silver Oak (which in my opinion is one of the most consistent wines in extraordinary quality) Fitz at North Hills Total Wine (great friend and smart wine guy) introduced me to their Merlot [...]
I was introduced to Tudal’s exceptional wine right here in my town of Raleigh NC. I was dining at one of my favorite hangouts, Vivace in North Hills, and the manager introduced me to an exceptional person and fellow wine lover with close ties to Tudal Winery. He had with him this beautifully hand etched [...]
Nothing makes for a perfect Sunday more perfect than sharing a bottle of incredible wine with a special friend in a beautiful surrounding with impeccable service.
If you ever visit the RTP area, I highly recommend you not only stay at The Umstead Hotel but treat yourself to an intimate dinner at Herons which features an [...]
What a great treasure Del Dotto in Napa is. Easy to miss but not to be missed! At first glance I didn’t expect much. It was a typical September day in Napa; bright sunny perfect warm weather. As we walked in it went to cool and dark but not the “wine cave” I was expecting [...]
Last night’s questions, what to uncork? It only seemed fitting to open the Castello di Amorsa 02 Il Brigante from Napa. And why is that? I am visiting my dear friend Maddie whom I had the pleasure of sharing my love of wine country with for her first time this past June. OK…before we get [...]
