Urban Daddy

Recently I was asked to be a guest editor for the online men's magazine Urban Daddy. Here is my favorite piece I wrote for them.



She'll Get a Crush on You


Fact - Women like wine.

Fact - Bring a truly unique bottle to the table and you can get away with cheese and crackers...which means you don't have to cook.

So if you’re like us and culinarily challenged (or just looking for something exclusive) Sacred Cellars is your new solution. Located just north enough of Uptown to lose all pretense, you’ll know your there when you see nothing that could possibly resemble a storefront. And then you do.

A former loading dock plays host to an outside seating area that has been implemented with enough charm to make your date swoon before you even get to the door. Oh yea, we forgot to mention you have a date with you because you signed up for Sacred’s secret email list that keeps you in the know about their premium wine tasting nights.

Come in, grab two glasses and introduce yourself to the owner Paul. Then let him pour your date a sip of something blasphemously good. Don’t worry; the tear that just formed on her check is only the regret of not meeting you sooner.

After you’ve tried four or five, grab a bottle or two to take back home with you. And just remember…

You may not can cook, but you’ve got skills.
