Top 5 Wine & Cheese Bars on the Emerald Coast By Margit Bisztray, Food Critic Let me make a confession: I don’t drink. Anything but wine, that is. I love the whole look and culture and descriptions of all the martinis out there today (I mean, green tea martinis? Lychee? Kumquat? How tempting those sound!) but the fact is, I really can’t do hard alcohol. The price the next day is too harsh. My “shot” days are long gone… not that I miss them much. But wine? Oh my goodness, put a good bottle in front of me and, oops, did I have a deadline? Do I have to get up early tomorrow? Did I say I was tired? Everything else goes out the window, and I’m in the moment of that bottle, that glass, and especially, that warm sense of being in the moment with something timeless and delicious. Wine, like a cup of coffee, helps us pause and enjoy. So the new Top Five I just did for the Emerald Coast–––Wine & Cheese & More–––is all about a few of my favorite wine bars in the area, and it’s a personal favorite program I’ve done. Why? Because, not only are the places, the settings, so great to be in every time, the PEOPLE are so special... Click for more! Good news... Meteorologists were WRONG! By Wayne Gentry, Meteorologist Congratulations Southeastern US! Your weathermen were wrong. The fearsome Hurricane season of 2006 is fading into history branded as a lamb...not a lion. This leaves many skeptical of either the NHC's ability to forecast, or motives for being so outspoken. The United States and the Atlantic have been warmer than average this year. Global warming and the Multi Decadal oscillation both were cited as reasons we'd see more, and stronger storms than usual. So what happened to suppress the savage beasts? What DID we miss?
