Milo’s Wine Bar - A Distant Pleasure
May 19, 2008 by vegasrenie · Leave a Comment
I will freely admit that I had a skeptical attitude when I went to Milo’s in Boulder City. Every single person who had visited it loved it. In fact, Zachary, my oldest son of 2BC fame, called me from the restaurant when he was having a meal there. “Mom, you gotta come here. It’s great.”
A mention of Milo’s during a recent tasting brought accolades from perfect strangers. Yes, it’s a little far, they noted, but well worth it. Okay, enough already. I have to check this place out.
After a tiring day of talking, wine tasting, cheese tasting, and socializing (pure hell, huh?), I decided to end my day with a meal at Milo’s. Since I was already at the far end of Henderson, it was a short, 15-minute-ish drive to Boulder City.
Boulder City can easily be described as quaint, a veritable throwback to the earlier days of twentieth century Nevada. Although gambling - excuse me…*gaming* - is illegal in Boulder City, some of the names of the local landmarks give a nod to its flashier brother - The Desert Inn, The Sahara Motel, and the Flamingo Inn are just a few.

Red Wine/White Teeth - Impossible?
May 16, 2008 by vegasrenie · Leave a Comment
If you drink a lot of red wine, is it possible to have white teeth? In many wine circles, having purple-stained teeth is a mark of honor. I’m not sure why. I think it’s the same as having service stripes. The more you taste, the darker your teeth should apparently be.
I, on the other hand, am all about flashing the pearly whites, no matter how much red wine I consume. And since I like to have a glass of wine nearly every day (and most of it is red), that has to be a factor.
We already know how wine is being purported as being great for health. This realization, in my opinion, is the biggest Duh in history. Wine has been an integral part of civilization for millennia, and its health benefits were described by Hippocrates. Roman soldiers carried olive oil and wine in wineskins as they marched out to conquer the world. And now modern science suddenly is aware of wine. Thanks for keeping up with the news, guys. I feel so very informed.
