Well hello, my little pretties. Ending another fabulous meal at Intero with their house made salted caramel and triple chocolate truffles. Come on, how much better can it get? Oh, I could have a tiny glass of Cardamaro from the most extensive Amaro list in the state! I’m in! Intero is my go to oasis […]
Falvo’s Flights
The Brewer’s Table–Austin
I arrived in East Austin kicking and screaming in 2011 by way of marriage to a fine gentleman named Dave, who had built a house there in 2007. One of my main objections at the time was the lack of any decent dining options on my side of the freeway save for the blessed Justine’s, […]
Stephen F’s Bar and Terrace–Austin
Are you looking for a swanky oasis above the hustle and bustle of downtown Austin? Stephen F’s Bar is a great spot to sip a cocktail, glass of wine or local beer while gazing down on Congress from their expansive balcony. I’ve often found myself there during SXSW to escape the hectic street goings on […]
Falvo’s in Flight
I’ve been coming to Boulder since I was a college kid. What I’ve always admired about people who live here is their love of all things outdoors. It’s not hard to see why they love this gorgeous landscape or why they are some of the fittest people in the US. I decided I’d wake up […]

Falvo’s in Flight
Oh Daddy! This was a good one for Father’s Day. Scents of macerated strawberries and baking spices with a slightly hazy ruby color made me think of a Burgundy. But, this wine is all Cali from the Russian River Valley. With 5 years age, it showed a bit of mellowing of the color and a […]
Falvo’s in Flight
Cheers to home grown bubbles! Yesterday, Austin got its very own pink drink… Dandy Bubbles. Made from 100% Texas grown Mourvèdre, this baby should be your go-to for summer poolside drinking. It’s unfined an unfiltered, giving it a bit of a hazy pink color, akin to grapefruit juice. The flavors are fruity and pure. And, […]
Falvo’s in Flight
This is perhaps the prettiest rosé I have ever seen. The beautiful cherry color gives the wine its name. Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo is the rosé wine of the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC. Gently pressed Montepulciano grapes are left on the skins for a short bit and then fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel. The nose on […]
