Woody’s Whine
Call it a blog if you will, but my occasional whine will address most anything that I see or hear as it relates to food, wine, cooking, restaurants, food production and generally goofing around with that kind of stuff.
A lot of information comes across my screen, through my front door and literally into my hands from many different sources and often I’m inspired to respond to it and share those thoughts with you. I don’t claim everything I tell you will be the best or the worst but hopefully will inform and entertain. I’m not really looking for requests but will be happy to address issues that you might suggest and of course that I might be interested if you want to take a chance and of course – I could be wrong.

Everything that I offer, whether it be custom catering, wine events, or cooking and wine tasting classes is customized to exactly what you want. As a result, I don’t offer a set menu, just a long list of what I will cook for you, or what kinds of wines I think you would enjoy drinking.
I will be most happy to talk with you about creating a menu, creating an event or class that will meet your needs or wants. Your food and wine happiness is a call or click away.
Please call to discuss details at 773-622-6393 or send an email here.
