		<title>Selection Massale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There’s another wine importer in town, and they’ll cut a dash in your wine fridge. Joining companies like LDM, Jose Pastor Selections, Jenny &#038; Francois, and Mosel Wine Merchants – just a few of the tireless importers in search of real wine – comes Selection Massale, run by Cory Cartright and Guilhaume Gerard. Cartright is [...]]]></description>

		<title>These Walls Were Made for Painting…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;so I painted a wall in my sitting room in the color of metallic gold. Each coat (three in all) was painted at night, after work in three consecutive nights. It looks absolutely fabulous. I look at it and I think of Egypt and Cleopatra, I get nostalgic for the gold borders on my mother’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rhône Revisited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are wines that are connected to certain eras. In the early days (the late nineties) of my time at Astor Wines, the bottles that captured attention were the Dagueneaus, Tempiers, CVNEs, Beaucastels, Rayas’ and the DRCs (when it was actually affordable). It was a time that preceded the natural-wine wave when sound wine drinkers [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marmite!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am the proud caretaker of a wee thing called Marmite, formerly known as Miles. I adopted my furry friend on Labour Day weekend from the dear owners of Thirst Wine Merchants and Thirst Bar A Vin, Michael and Emilia. Turns out the duo aren’t just passionate about honest wine and food – they care [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brooklyn Bazar!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To mark the final day of my vacation in the city, the rains are falling. I am just returned from a soggy trip to Cortelyou Road with my Lefferts Gardens neighbor and CSW colleague, let’s call him JMW since we all go by our initials at the shop. This particular Sunday farmer’s market is surprisingly [...]]]></description>

		<title>De Hot Pot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lefferts Gardens isn’t a food destination. Manhattanites (or other Brooklyn kin) aren’t trekking here for off-the-beaten-path grub featured in influential publications, but for anyone that lives here, De Hot Pot is a sweet Trinidadian curry and roti café . Vee cooks the food. She’s a moody lady and she’ll give you the cold shoulder if [...]]]></description>

		<title>CROOKLYN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just how much can change in a year? A lot. This long time East Villager took herself to Brooklyn and got a job at Chambers Street Wines. Pinch me. I&#8217;m not dreaming. My one-bedroom apartment has a hallway. A. Hallway. There are no tall buildings blocking my view to the spread of sky viewed from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Last Week&#8217;s Delights at Louis/Dressner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was a wretched 90+ temperature degree-day with Russian-bath-level humidity when I headed to LDM’s short n’ sweet tasting last week. I needed to find out what the hell the Foti wines were all about. Lee &#8211; the coolest chick in the wine biz &#8211; revealed it to be one of the best wines she’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>London: Town Hall Hotel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From talk of its inception, I expected Town Hall Hotel to stand apart from most boutique hotels. For a start Artsadmin (an edgy East London-based company that produces and supports contemporary artists) had been hired by Peng Loh (a young Singaporean hotelier) to curate the artwork for the space. My rabble-rousing brother, Manick Govinda, happens [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paris, I’m barely scratching the surface but…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few days here and there is all I’ve experienced of Paris over the last few years. I’m thinking it is about time I plunge in and get a real dose of the city everyone loves to love (&#38; hate). Not sure how I will achieve this but I hope to play the ex-pat writer [...]]]></description>
