Beach House Chardonnay
$9.99

EVIL Cabernet Sauvignon
$10.99
Chris Ringland has done extensive work with some pretty serious Spanish labels already like Alto Moncayo. Enter Evil, en Espanol. Persistent, rounded, expressive red fruits, soft tannins and low acidity, this is ‘evil’ by intent. The style of Aragona is more red berry fruit driven and slightly floral with brown spice notes. The palate is open, engaging and more honest. As Chris Ringland has pointed out, ‘evil’ is ‘live’ backwards.
Mom can eat like a queen!
A quick impromptu survey today on DoingItLocal.com’s Facebook page indicated that mom’s are just looking to spend time with their kids and maybe be pampered a little or receive a handmade gift. Not every mom will want to go out to dinner, especially if getting around is a challenge.
Seafood at Swanson’s Fish Market at 2439 Black Rock Turnpike in Fairfield is the perfect answer! An oven set at 375 degrees 
I have certainly learned the big difference of FRESH seafood this week. I always hated when my wife would cook seafood indoors, it would smell the house up for days. But she purchased her fish at the supermarket. This is NOT the case with Swanson Fish Market. FRESH fish should smell like he sea, if it smell like fish it is NOT fresh! I prepared the meal pictured to the right and then day later a tuna fish in the oven and it never smelled the house up. What big difference!
Don’t forget to treat mom and you with fresh cocktail shrimp. The freshness can’t be beat, the cocktail sauce is awesome!

Man, Juvenile Charges After Melee
(Bridgeport, CT – May 10, 2013) – A 37-year-old man faces threatening and child endangerment charges after a dispute with a neighborhood youth led to a bicycle- and chair-throwing armed encounter.
Police Officer Cristina Arroyo was called to the 100-block of Pennsylvania Ave. Thursday afternoon on a report of an armed fight. Everybody had separated by the time police had arrived.
A woman told police that her son and another juvenile were involved in an argument and that Ramon Feliciano, a neighbor, intervened. The other juvenile left but Feliciano went inside his house and retrieved a steak knife, the woman said. Her son then went into their house and retrieved a steak knife of his own. She also claimed that Feliciano threatened to shoot and kill her son.
During the course of the confrontation, Felicano allegedly picked up a chair and threw it at the youth. The youth then picked up a bicycle and threw it into Feliciano’s front window.
Feliciano told police that he intervened in the dispute because he feared for the safety of his young relative. He acknowledged retrieving the knife but said he only did so after the juvenile brandished one. He also acknowledged threatening to kill the youth buy denied claiming to have a firearm.
Feliciano was charged with risk of injury to a minor, second-degree threatening and breach of peace. The juvenile also faces charges.
