Farewell Philly at Vintage Wine Bar...

Had my Farewell Philly at my fave wine bar, Vintage..
Where the Wine was Flowing with my fave bartenders, Veasna & Cory..

Started with Escargot which is off menu here but got an inside scoop thanks to Professor Byron Mayes aka Private Wineaux... Byron, I hope to see you in SF some day!

Love this 2012 Dinastia Vivanco Viura Malvasia Tempranillo Blanco... 

Grilled Flank Steak with Potato Puree, Fried Brussels Sprouts, Bordelaise... 

Pan Seared Salmon, Beluga Lentils, Swiss Chard, Bacon & Lemon Vinaigrette... 

Finished with their wonderful Cheeseboard...

And a 2012 Valle Reale Cerasuolo Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Rosé..

All Delicious... All Good.

A Proper Farewell at My Fave Wine Bar in Philly...

Have always loved their food!
A Special Thanks To All Who Came out to Wish Me Well!

I'm Making A Comeback...

So What's The Dealio You Ask?

The thing is that I've totally been neglecting this UrbanFoodMaven blog for the quick & easy fix of the UrbanFoodMaven FB Page... I know, I'm sorry! I mean, with all of these changes in the past five years since I made the move from SF to NYC and now Philly delving into the World of Wine for the last year, it just has been difficult to get back to this for a number of reasons, the details of which I will not bore you with right now...

The point is that I've been re-inspired recently and ready to get back into it!

In the Meantime, Check out the New Design and Stay Tuned for UFM posts!

Yours In Food.. 

& Now Wine too...

P.S. In case you didn't know, I am moving back to SF soon...

And now you know...
