For my third and final (for now) “Lost in the Belhaven Triangle” piece, it’s only proper to end this series by going back to the beginning of it all for me – Fenian’s Pub. Fenian’s Pub sits on the corner of Fortification and Jefferson, right on the line between Belhaven and Belhaven Heights. We have [...]
Jackson recently welcomed Mississippi’s newest brewery to local taps. Crooked Letter Brewing Co., located in Ocean Springs, has been taking the state by storm with their four inaugural brews: Mystery Romp, GIpsy IPA, Stabello, and Crooked Heffy. Mystery Romp may be the most remarkable brew of the four, simply because the discussions surrounding the coffee [...]
With summer approaching, what better way to cool down from the heat than with a fresh summer cocktail? Eat Jackson has the perfect suggestion: The Pineapple Ely. This drink is everything a summer cocktail should be. It’s light, fruity, and the perfect balance of alcohol and pineapple. Ely’s Restaurant in Ridgeland has found the perfect [...]
When looking for a new wine to try, Kats Wine & Spirits in Belhaven is always a sure bet. For this month’s Wine of the Month, the good people at Kats pulled a bottle of 2011 A Portela Mencia. This beautiful bottle of organic red beckoned me from the moment I picked it up from [...]
Hey, it’s Daydrinker! Though I have expanded my horizons when it comes to adult beverages, I still enjoy a girlie drink –er, I mean “dessert cocktail” – every now and then.

This week, Mississippi is all abuzz about wine and winemakers with the arrival of winemakers around the globe for the South’s premier wine festival, Santé South.

Daydrinker here again! In my younger days, when people asked me what kind of alcohol I drank, I usually responded with “If it looks like a pink umbrella would feel at home in it, I’ll probably love it.” Lucky for me—and all of you reading this who also have a bit of an alcoholic sweet [...]

Babalu Tacos & Tapas in Fondren recently announced their support of ONEHOPE. What is ONEHOPE? In short, ONEHOPE is wine that benefits a variety of broadly supported charitable causes. That’s right: bringing good cheer, through “cheers” and drinks with friends! In fact, ONEHOPE was started by eight friends, and it grew out of a personal mission [...]
Hi. My name is Daydrinker, and I enjoy girlie drinks. As a matter of fact, except for the occasional Jack & Coke or sip of wine, girlie drinks were pretty much the only thing I drank for years. I blame my insatiable sweet tooth. Once I began drinking alcohol, I suppose it was only natural that the first [...]
