Wine & Words is 8!
Fri, 04/23/2010 - 5:11am — The Wine Guy
On April 24, 2002 a new store was born in the resurrected shell of the old Windley/willis grocery store in Belhaven, NC. With the unusual name of "Wine & Words," the little store sold a small selection of wines not available anywhere else in the region, as well as coffees and teas, used books and the arts and crafts productions of a number of local artists.
That was eight years ago, and we now have a large selection of unique wines, cheeses from around the world, specialty foods and Cook's Helpers, as well as many shelves full of discount priced books and CD's.

Grillin' and Chillin'
Wed, 04/07/2010 - 10:58am — The Wine Guy
Summertime has hit us with a vengeance. Down here in Eastern NC everybody's firing up lawnmowers and boat motors...and grills. Seems most people down here do their chillin' with ice cold beer or cold white wine and their grillin' with hearty California Cabs. Well, I've been suggesting a different strategy for some years now -- do your chillin' with cold rosé wine while you're out in the heat doing the grillin'. When the meat is nicely done is the time to serve up a hearty red that goes with the occasion. Herein, some wines of both styles. Welcome, summer!
