We attended our friends' wedding last night and had the opportunity to catch up with a number of other old friends. They had a salsa band that brought a lot of energy, his homebrew on flowing, and delicious eats from . Seek this truck out. I don't normally eat tripe but their tripe tacos and a pale ale were perfection.

Now I want more tacos.

We don't have a kiss cam or jumbotrom at our shop but you'd be cheating yourself if you didn't attend our weekly wine tasting. Here's the lineup!

Thanks to Daniele of for stopping by today to share his lineup with us from Piedmont. Stellar from start to finish. We already have the nascetta on the shelf which is a white you must try but we're bringing in the rosato of nebbiolo, Nebbiolo d'Alba, and Barolo this week.

We had to go with our standard from after a long day on Friday. One of my favorite wines with pizza is barbera. While we typically drink the good stuff from Piedmont, we went with Lost Hills Ranch Barbera. It's a bigger wine for the varietal but still maintains some chisel and freshness. We can special order this wine and we regularly carry the Flora & Fauna white and red blends.

For the past year, we've had many asking what's happening next door and we didn't know or couldn't tell you. It's not our business to share the details as you should hear it from them. In recent weeks, we've been asked more than what's the story behind our business name!

Follow our new neighbors at Barrel & Bloom so you can stay updated on what's happening. We're selfishly happy to finally have good coffee in the neighborhood!

Endeavor Brewing & Spirits is about to tack on a third item to the list in its name: coffee. According to a social media post, Barrel & Bloom, a new concept from Endeavor, is opening soon at 2365 W.

It was a Sunday Funday with friends.

We visited in Powell where you can always find a variety of really good beers. I got a flight and then a pint of my preferred option at the moment which was their Bringer of Joy Saison.

I cooked a 10 # pork shoulder in the oven for the Momofuku bo ssam via . You can't find a better pairing than a weighty but crisp dry riesling. One of our favorites is this Rheingau Trocken from .

For the soccer match last night, we had a New England beer tasting courtesy of my beer fairy. He brought back some goodies from , , and that we can't get in Ohio.

Hope everybody has a great week!
