Wine and Dine for the Arts weekend begins…

I'm never prouder to be even an infinitesimal part of the Capital Region dining scene than I am during this (4th) annual event.  Such a terrific group of generous and hardworking - and really fun, folks that we are all lucky to have in our community.  Speaking of scene - check out my SEEN gallery … Continue reading Wine and Dine for the Arts weekend begins… →

12 Days of Christmas – Dining Delso

Mezze

I finally got to Mezze, an awesome restaurant just south of Williamstown, MA., after years of hearing about it.  I'd heard praise for this place for so long, I can't even remember who* originally recommended it.  Believe me, though, I would send that forgotten initial fan of the place a  "thank you" note if I … Continue reading Mezze →
