August 20: The Crawl Brings Something New

The 6th annual Wyandotte Wine Crawl took place this evening in downtown Wyandotte. My wife, myself, and my In-Laws attended last year's event for the first time, so we decided to do it again this year. And, once again, it did not disappoint. Before we dove head first into all of the wine samples scattered across the city in various stores, we took in a quick meal at the Sports Brew Pub, just outside of the main event. This restaurant is actually one of my favorites in Wyandotte - beer, good food and plenty of sports ambiance. This time around, I decided to go for their "3 Pepper Burger" for the very first time - a delicious combination of tangy banana peppers, green peppers and jalapenos, all smothered under melted cheddar cheese. Man, was I glad I made this choice. In one word...AWESOME! After filling our bellies, we commenced to the wine sampling. They give you maybe an ounce at each stop, just enough to wet your whistle. By night's end, though, all of those ounces begin to add up. We capped off the evening with one final stop at DoHickeys Irish Pub. This is a place which I've passed many a times while visiting Wyandotte, but I've never actually been in the place. I skipped any additional wine samples and had a good, old-fashioned beer instead; risking the dangers of combining wine and beer and any potential bad outcomes as a result. Still, how can a guy go into an Irish pub and order a glass of wine? They would have run me right out of the joint!
