Paradise Hills Vineyard
Take Me Down to Paradise Hillin’, Where the Grass is Green and the Girls are Swillin’ Paradise Hills Vineyards August 6, 2011 When I was cleaning up my Connecticut winery entries recently, as I’m coming to the end of the trail so to speak – 2 final visits in 2013 will bring me up to having visited every single … [Read more...]
Arrigoni Winery
Don't They Know How Much People Hate the Arrigoni Bridge? Arrigoni Winery, Portland October 20, 2012 I forget exactly when I learned of Arrigoni, Connecticut's newest winery (as of late 2012), but I remember thinking, really? A winery in Portland? Hm. We have enjoyed plenty of wines from the Portland... … [Read more...]
Connecticut Food Tour of the World
The Most Difficult and Delicious Section of CTMQ CTMQ Ethnic Food/Restaurant Tour Skip the intro and go straight to the list! Here’s something you may not know: writing about food is very, very difficult for me. I can’t do it very well at all, but at least I’m friends with a few quality food writers. As I … [Read more...]

I have three separate Arethusa pages - one for the farm itself, one … [Read more...]
Arethusa Dairy Store
Are Thu Seriousa? Ice Cream and Milk at Arethusa Farm Dairy, Bantam July 21, 2012 Since we are we, and we are CTMQ, and by we I mean me with my compliant family, we visited the almost eerily clean Arethusa Farm about 5 miles away before coming here, to the retail store, to enjoy the end products. If you … [Read more...]
Quaker Diner
Quaking With Anticipation Quaker Diner, West Hartford September 2012 I've started a tradition with Damian wherein we go to these classic diners on days it's just us at home.

White Silo Winery
"That Being Said, It's Too Siloed" White Silo Winery, Sherman September 15, 2012 The title on this page, if you didn’t get it, is an homage of sorts to corporate-speak. It’s a crime that locally owned farms with operational silos are disappearing, but middle managers complaining about a work group being too … [Read more...]
Savino Vineyards
SaviNo or SavinYes? Savino Vineyards, Woodbridge December 2, 2012 There still remain some rare pockets of Connecticut that I’m not familiar with yet. I’m 100% confident that if you knocked me out and blindfolded me and stuck me just about anywhere in the state, I’d know exactly where I was and how to get to where … [Read more...]
