On a recent visit with five other writers to Jacksonville, Florida, each of us was stunned by how much this city has to offer. Please enjoy this glimpse of the first day and a half.
I have to confess that I'm a sucker for corned beef and cabbage. I could probably eat it every day and not grow tired of it. My plate arrived with a couple of generous slices of corned beef that fell apart at the touch of a fork
We were blessed to have winemaker par excellece Don Reha sailing with us. Don is the Executive Winemaker at both Thornton and Orfila Wineries and he presided over the first of several wine tastings scheduled for the week. We tasted Thornton’s non-vintage Brut Reserve Methode Champenoise Sparkling Wine, Sans Oak Chardonnay, Cabernet-Merlot and finally the incredible Estate Syrah, accompanied by a selection of fruit and cheeses.
