If you’ve lived in the city for awhile – or read our publication frequently – you might recall the name Carrie Schleiffer. Her culinary path has wound through the area, beginning first at Giorgio Restaurant in Cary more than five years ago, followed by stints at [ONE] in Chapel Hill, […]
Sometimes the pleasure of buying a wine, cellaring it and waiting for that most special occasion to open it is a true joy. I don’t usually have the money to buy first growth Bordeaux — the release prices for these wines climbs ever higher. But I sensed that the 2002 […]
The Rodney Strong “brand” is often seen as ubiquitous, as if that’s a bad thing. The many varied releases from this Sonoma estate range from very good, everyday offerings to single-vineyard bottlings of incredible depth. This estate remains one of the fairest priced in the region, despite their continual raising […]

The first time David Chapman saw his future wife, Christy, he was a 15-year-old high school student stopping by the local coffee shop before class. She was the beautiful 21-year-old barista: utterly out of reach. “You know how in religious paintings from the Renaissance, there’s sometimes a halo of light around […]
