The Gourmez reviews cocktails and restaurants local to the Triangle region of North Carolina, which includes the cities of Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh, Cary, Carrboro, Apex, and Morrisville. The wines are all available from Kroger Groceries which means you can more than likely get them from your own chain supermarket.

Our featured selections this evening are Vespa Ristorante and Santa Cristina Sangiovese 2005.

Can’t resist an interesting mixed drink? Quench your thirst with one of these special cocktails and trusty standards from the Triangle area’s bartenders. Learn about me, my rating system, and why I’ll never review the prime rib.
From run of the mill diners to the newest hipster eatery, get the scoop on atmosphere, service, and of course, food. I can’t ever remember which wines I’ve tried, but I know they’ve all been less than $20. Except, maybe, that bottle of port.
Have a restaurant you'd like me to check out? A wine you've been afraid to buy? Just want to tell me that I'm a lousy judge of the gourmet scene? Email me at
