| Description: | We at VinoVerve are passionate about wine, but we come from different perspectives. Rory is the Wine Director at David Burke's Primehouse in Chicago. Kevin is an entrepreneur who knows how to live it up on an expense account. After moving to New England, Marguerite has become a stranger in a strange land and has decided to learn their ways by trying all their wine. And Gretchen? She is a mom, cook and chauffeur to teenage girls and all-around dork who likes the history and adventure that comes in every bottle and also the way it makes that dull throb in her head at the end of the day go away..... We don't think we know more about wine than anyone out there. We are all still exploring and learning and having fun doing it. Will you help us? |

A Locapour Thanksgiving
Marguerite Barrett Contributing Writer Each year since moving to Connecticut, I’ve made the trek down to New Jersey to spend Thanksgiving with my cousins, the Garlicks. Under normal circumstances (i.e. the drive home in the evening), the trip takes just over two hours. Driving down on Thanksgiving morning, though, is like “traveling through another dimension… you’ve just entered the Twilight Zone.” The first year, 2007, my friend and occasional wine trail buddy, Maree Prendergast, also joined us for Thanksgiving, so my first stop was Jersey City where she lives. The drive down the Merritt Parkway in Connecticut was both lovely and a b

The President Is A Locapour!

Start a New Locapour Holiday Tradition
Marguerite Barrett Contributing Writer Shortly after I heard about the New Jersey Thanksgiving Wine Trail weekend, I received an email from Haight-Brown Winery in Connecticut announcing their participation in the 1st Annual Litchfield Hills Winter Wine Trail The winter wine trail is comprised of six participating wineries all clustered around Litchfield, Connecticut. Visit any of the wineries between December 1st and March 15th and pick up a Winter Wine Trail registration card. Get your card stamped at all six wineries by March 15th, and you’ll be eligible for the grand prize drawing of an overnight stay at a

We Gather Together
Gretchen Neuman VinoVerve Editor With Thanksgiving looming before us this week (Please keep your Christmas references at bay, please… I can only handle one holiday at a time), many people are trying to decide what to have for the big feast. Turkey is the obvious choice (though venison would be traditionally correct as well, as the local Wamponoag people brought five deer to the feast) One thing that we can be sure of? Those people
