Suerte–Austin
Run, don’t walk to Suerte in East Austin. But, pause first to make a reservation on Resy as the place was packed at 6 PM this past Saturday night. I’d read the raves from Austin food reviewers, but given the number of openings in Austin, there is never a shortage of glowing reviews. This […]

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 […]
