Wine Exchange - Tampa, FL





Way to go Wine Exchange! What a great find. We stopped in for lunch and wanted to stay all day. First of all, the staff is well-educated on the wine selections and made great suggestions for wine-pairings for our lunch. The baked brie is a must-have with delicious flakey phyllo and warm, melted brie on the inside. Then the lime tequila shrimp and scallops were served in a bowl of flavorful broth and an unexpected pop of flavor from crystalized ginger bits floating in the broth. The service was top-notch. We will definitely go back the next time we are on the West Coast of Florida.

Location: Tampa, FL, USA

Bluevua RO100ROPOT Reverse Osmosis System Countertop Water Filter

  I bought this machine to purify my own drinking water at home and get away from all of the plastic bottles we have. It is super-easy to use and the water is crisp and clean tasting. You just fill the tank, set the amount of water you want and hit the start button. It is very important to remember that you have to dump out the water from the tank after each use.   It is a little lopsided due to the filter cartridges being on one side, but it’s easy enough to move around. I love that we are helping the planet. It will pay for itself in no time.

We started out looking for a glass of wine for me and a beer for my husband. While there seems to be an extensive bar menu including liquor and draft beers as well as bottled beers, the wine selection is sadly very limited with a house Pinot Grigio, Moscato and a Merlot as a red. The waitress was unable to tell me which brands they carried and there was no wine list on the menu that I could find.  I settled for the Merlot and have to say it was definitely not a good one.  My husband's draft beer was cold and he was happy with it. The clam chowder is surprisingly creamy, delicious and chocked full of clams, however a small cup for $6.99 seems maybe a little pricey, but definitely tasty.  It was served with saltine crackers instead of the traditional oyster cra...

  My husband and flew in for a funeral and decided to stay downtown so that we would be close to good restaurants and see some sights. When we first arrived, the bellman could not have been more helpful. He went out of his way to help us by taking our bags and directing us to the parking lot since valet parking is not currently allowed. When we checked in, the front desk clerk treated us like VIPs, explained all the details about the hotel and put us in a beautiful room. She also offered to arrange a tour of the hotel if we wanted it. Now let’s talk about this property. OMG! It is a stunning jewel which has so much architectural beauty it takes your breath away. The rich history of this hotel was such an unexpected treat, we almost forgot we were not there on vacation. Orchids at Palm Court The hotel was rather empty when we arrived, but the food we ordered was cooked perfectly and delicious. The bottle of wine we wanted was not available, so the manager gave us another win...
