I have to admit, Mike and I are unabashed and unrepentant Pinot Noir fans. We love the big, chewy and/or tasty pinots. Unfortunately, many people have only had the fairly lean ones.

Day 4 – A Free Day In Key West
The Authors Guesthouse has proven a fine place to relax in Key West. It’s close enough to town that everything is an easy bike or cab ride. But it’s far enough away that we are not disturbed by the hustle and bustle on the street, and we don’t hear any traffic noise. Both of us sleep well, and awaken to our first morning in Key West eager to explore the town.
Why “Roast” anything at home? Give Roast in Sarasota a try! It is a wonderfully eclectic restaurant in downtown Sarasota
How do we say we truly enjoyed our dinner at Roast. Roast Restaurant is located next to the Sarasota Opera House in a wonderfully old building that was built by the famous John Ringling. It seems John Ringling is everywhere in Sarasota. Roast restaurant is in a two- story building originally built in 1925 and is a registered historic building in downtown Sarasota, Florida.
The upstairs bar is, in fact, his gentlemen’s club. The bar is simply stunning. The carvings are gorgeous. Their craft cocktails are quite good. Go up the steps just to see the bar and have a drink.

The sun is shining, the humidity is low, and a gentle breeze is blowing. Wow! That’s the coolest, nicest weather I can remember since moving to Florida last spring. Time to ride!

Herewith, a short and sweet recipe for taking a day tour of Portland’s cheap eats and charming destinations.
