Given that these are the conditions, here are some patio-friendly (for the most part) bars that … Continue reading
Wine weekend has officially become an annual tradition. Last year: Fredericksburg. This year: Dripping Springs. Also a tradition: Cold and rainy weather apparently. We picked Dripping Springs because it was close to Austin and had a few cute wineries we hadn’t been to. We also picked it because it was one of the closest wine … Continue reading

On Monday, I walked into Max’s Wine Dive on Washington, and I realized this ain’t no ordinary wine dinner that I was used to. The entire restaurant was booming with all the staff in costume and Mardi Gras beads everywhere. This wasn’t Max’s Wine Dive — this was New Orleans. (Ahem, the Take Me Back … Continue reading

The most dramatic episode in Bachelor history would DEFINITELY be a Women Tell All episode NO DOUBT. And, lucky us, we get a WTA this Monday. I say lucky because it means one thing: DRINKING GAME.
