Restaurant Review: Pizzadili Winery

Tucked away outside of Felton is a small vineyard with a great story. The first grapes were planted by two brothers who learned the wine making business from their father in Sardinia. How they got to this country and ended up outside of Dover and what they did once they were here is a fabulous story that you need to hear for yourself.

I was very lucky. I wandered in to the tasting room early one afternoon and joined some other people who left soon after I arrived. As a result, I was able to sit and try the wines while chatting with Angela who now owns the vineyard. She told me story after story about her father and her uncle. Each is better than the last.

The Millville Boardwalk

You would think that the Delaware beaches have enough entertainment complexes to keep all the locals and visitors... well, entertained. When I heard that yet another was being built inland from the beaches, I must admit to a great deal of skepticism. There seemed to be two problems to me: the first, who needs another mini golf course and the second, who is going to bother to drive three and half miles west of Bethany to find it?

Turns out, lots of people will and have. I was hanging out with my niece and nephew this past weekend and we decided to go check it out. Both kids are teenagers and both have seen great mini golf courses and great arcades. I expected them to be a bit bored by it all.

Again, I was wrong.
