Statistically Significant Woodbury (Google Maps location) October 17, 2015 Are you comfortable? Good. You have clicked on what is one of my most favorite places in all of Connecticut.

Hawk Ridge Winery
A Feather in Watertown's Cap Hawk Ridge Winery, Watertown November 2021 I have only been to Hawk Ridge Winery once and I'll admit that Hoang and I didn't stay too long. Perhaps we'll revisit someday.

New Haven Cocktail Museum
The Owls Are Not What They Seem New Haven (Google Maps location) September 2021 I often write that I am surprised by certain plucky little museums that contain much more interesting stuff than I'd anticipated.

Rosabianca Vineyards
Rosa? and Bianca? Rosabianca Vineyards, North Branford October 2015 I have written far too many times about certain pockets of Connecticut that insist on referring to their locale as the pocket and not the larger town.

Stony Creek Museum
Let's Rock and Roll Branford (Google Maps location) October 3, 2015 My gosh this is a cute-looking little museum in the cute little Stony Creek section of Branford.
