Your Evening Sift

Another great weekend comes to a close. The South Florida blogosphere was busier than normal for a Sunday afternoon so I have a decent evening Sift for you. Enjoy!

A- Miami Urbanist shows us the strange fence that has recently been erected in Belle Meade.

B- Long Play Miami documents the Miami music legend named Henry Stone.

Stone had moved to Miami from Los Angeles where he was selling records to jukebox operators. Miami, though, seemed like a good place to do it his own way, be independent. He started a record distribution company from a warehouse on West Flagler Street not far from Overtown. He also kept a recording machine there which came in handy.

In 1950, he encountered a young, Ray Charles performing at a nearby club. After the show, the two got to talking.

C- South Beach, 1914...at The305.Com.

D- South Florida Food and Wine chats with Master Sommelier Virginia Philip, Wine Director for The Breakers in Palm Beach.

South Florida Food and Wine: What is the best wine advice you ever received?
Virginia Philip: To know what you like to drink and to know what you do not like and why. By using this advice every day, I became a better sommelier and am much more able to aptly describe to a client why I think they may or may not like a particular style of wine.

E- Random Pixels highlights some of the wonderful commentary left at the Miami Herald in response to a story about Ryan Lochte's gold medal win at the Olympics.

F- Looks like Dick Cheney is speaking ill of Caribou Barbie...at Bark Bark Woof Woof.
