About Me...
Allow me to introduce myself. I am Patti Novo and I am a Certified Specialist of Wine.
I love food. I love wine. I love finely crafted cocktails.
And...I know a LOT about all 3 of these things. I have been cooking for family and friends for years...pretty much since my first Easy-Bake oven. I hold a degree in the Culinary Arts and am President of the Culinary Advisory Board for SCCC. I am also the Lead Instructor for the Wines of the World program. I have been a JUDGE for the Big Brothers Big Sisters Chef's Challenge for the past 3 years, and am pleased to be the event Honorary Chair in 2017! Food and WINE have always been my passion and I look forward to sharing my passion with you. There are other sites that focus on this stuff...and I like them. But...those of you who know me...know that my spin on things is just a little different.
People have been begging me to create a website that focuses on the amazing cuisine that this area has to offer....a site with reviews written by a culinary and wine PRO...a comprehensive "Go-To" Guide for the best of the best with my personal, often irreverent spin. This is it. Drink Up.
