Vinoteca Poscol: Good Wine, Good Food

Vinoteca Poscol is the place to go for classic Italian food, complemented by a great selection of wines. Located near Cherryhurst Park, Vinoteca Poscol is actually named after the chef’s hometown street. When you come in, you’ll like the subdued décor and quiet ambiance. Folks rave about the service, too. The chef makes all of his “small plates” with specific wines in mind, so ask your server for recommendations. There’s a great selection of cheese and meat trays, finger sandwiches, flatbreads, pastas and risottos to enjoy and share. What a great place to go for happy hour, dinner or a late night bite!

Vinoteca Poscol is open Tuesday through Sunday.

How To Mix Vintage And Modern Pieces

All new furniture can be a blast, but for some unique elegance that avoids the ordinary, it's worth going the extra step to create an eclectic mix of vintage and contemporary pieces. It's a great way to show off the flair of your own personal style, while recycling or upcycling some classics. Here are some ideas to help get you started:

Look at the items you already have, and work from there. It’s a good idea to keep larger items, like your couch or comforter, to simple, soothing, neutral colors, and then infuse personality and color with smaller items. Bring in stylish accessories like great pillows, stylish lamps, and attractive art work. To give your home a lived-in look, don't purchase all your furnishings and accessories at one place — that will look bland. Instead, purchase pieces over time, and keep your eyes open when you visit thrift, antique, and second-hand store.
