“There is no earthly way that we would be making wine right now without Virginia Wineworks,” said Steve Madey, owner of Hague Winery. This sentiment was echoed amongst the six other wineries also debuting their labels at the 1st Annual Virginia Wineworks Festival held June 27-28. A veritable coming-out party for these debs using the […]

It’s true that dating in Charlottesville is harder than in the average town, and if you’re over 40 it’s even more challenging. I frequently hear women say every man they meet is married. Let’s face it, a single woman’s daily routine isn’t stacked with opportunities to meet men, especially if you work in a female […]

When I think of “music in a church,” I envision something along the lines of Prince’s video for “When Doves Cry”—grandiose double doors, dozens of birds, bubble baths and synthesizers. Maybe my fantasies are just too demanding. Could you imagine trying to clear that sort of order with a venue like the First Street Church? […]
While the rest of us have been busy following other Belmont news, namely the controversy over a re-zoning application that would permit an existing residence on Hinton Avenue to become a restaurant

But the truth is, I’m trying to learn more about wine. Wine is not a bother […]
On a run through Fry’s Spring last week, I took a left turn not far from Dürty Nelly’s and headed towards Highland Avenue and one of my favorite graffiti spots—PoemSite, a mixed-media installation by Andrea Korotky and Laurance Wieder. Every so often, Korotky sends me an e-mail to let me know that the couple finished […]
Alex George, owner of Just Curry, is behind a new project at the old Fry’s Spring Service Station on Jefferson Park Avenue
After a long, hot day of attentively tasting, spitting and assessing dozens of wines layered with complexity in a soon-to-open restaurant layered with sawdust, all I want when I get home is a wine that I can mindlessly gulp.

The feathered Virginia Tech mascot preceded them into the Farmington ballroom to the […]
