My, how we love chardonnay. It made up 26 percent of all the wine we drank in 2007, far ahead of cabernet sauvignon at 15 percent. It's the equivalent of bellying up to the bar and asking for a glass of chardonnay more than 3 billion times. Publ.Date : Thu, 28 Jan 2010 01:00 EST
Vue on the Water has one of the most enviable restaurant locations in Fort Lauderdale, with an Intracoastal Waterway view so dreamy that promos gush, ``Guests can enjoy a boat parade every day.'' Publ.Date : Thu, 10 Dec 2009 01:00 EST

In a wine world that seems to be all about chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon, sauvignon blanc and merlot, it's good to know there are stubborn producers out there who insist on continuing to grow lesser-known but tried-and-true varieties. Publ.Date : Thu, 25 Feb 2010 01:00 EST

All sorts of movers, shakers and scene stalkers will be going boho for MOCA's Bohemian Bash at 8 p.m. Saturday.

Even if you don't care about football, you're not going to want to miss Sunday's Super Bowl celebrations. Publ.Date : Fri, 05 Feb 2010 01:00 EST
Oh, the sweet desperation of open mike night, where guitar-strumming novices chase dreams, and unfamiliar melodies catch the ears of drunkards and casual critics. Whether they feature a marketable pop rock band with tall boots and attitude or an aged folk singer bellowing abstract poetry in the foreground of a soft guitar, open mike nights bring raw performances with heart. The performers are pursuing dreams. Or maybe they have something important to say. Success is a long shot or a cry in the dark; it's signing with a record label or going home only with peace of mind after sharing something sensitive or affecting with curious strangers.

The recent London-Broadway revival of Peter Shaffer's intense drama Equus set off a media frenzy on both sides of the Atlantic, one that had nothing to do with the play's enduringly powerful qualities -- qualities abundantly on display in a just-opened production of Equus at New Theatre.

Ernest Hemingway's novella The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize and was one of the works cited when the macho author was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1954. Though the book is slender, its power as adventure tale and allegory is undimmed. Publ.Date : Wed, 03 Mar 2010 01:00 EST

Popular, the title of the perkiest song in Wicked, has also become the perfect one-word description of the show itself. Since opening on Broadway in 2003, the musical has already made three visits to South Florida and has just begun its fourth local run at Miami's Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts.

Peter Shaffer's ever-fascinating Equus, about a stable boy accused of a terrible crime, was a hit when it played Broadway in 2008 with Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe as disturbed young Alan Strang. Now, Coral Gables' New Theatre is tackling its own revival of Shaffer's mysterious 1973 drama, with James Samuel Randolph playing the psychiatrist who tries to help David Hemphill as Strang. The play, which contains adult content and nudity, runs through April 4 at New Theatre, 4120 Laguna St., Coral Gables. Performances are 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 1 and 5:30 p.m. Sunday (no late show this Sunday or April 4). Tickets are $40 Friday-Saturday and Sunday matinee, $35 other shows (students $15 one hour before showtime if tickets remain). Call 305-443-5909 or visit www.new-theatre.org for information.
