Lexington comes up lame: The Barbasol Championship, Keane Trace Golf Club, July 13-16, 2023
Bourbon, horses, and…good wine? Is it too much to ask of Lexington, KY during the Barbasol Championship?
Open For Business: The US Open, Los Angeles Country Club, June 15-18, 2023
A few quick additions from my February 2023 write-up for the Genesis. Some great wine lists await the great golf…
Oaky Dokey in Rochester: The PGA, Oak Hill CC, May 18-21, 2023
We weren’t entirely sure what to expect wine-wise in Rochester for the 2023 PGA. It’s not what we’d call a “rocking” wine scene, but it’s not devoid of charm either. So since it’s at Oak Hill this year, we settled on Oaky Dokey…

Not that I know him, but I’ve always liked Justin Thomas for the way he plays the game and his public persona. Until this morning, that is, when I learned he’s a Red Sox fan via an uncle of his who’s from New England. Oh, well.
Is there a s-a-l-u-t in T-u-l-s-a? PGA Championship, Southern Hills, May 19-22, 2022
Wow, it’s going to be hard to talk about the retail store wine scene in Tulsa, site of the 2022 PGA Championship, without sounding a touch condescending.
Wine in DC? It’s a capital idea. Wells Fargo Championship, TPC Potomac at Avenel Farms, May 5-8 2022
The Wells Fargo Championship will be held this week at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farms, just a Cameron Champ bomb northwest of Washington, DC.
