The Grape in Jacksonville Town Center

The Grape-The food here is so, so given that it’s primarily a wine bar.  However, most patrons do not go for the food.  Rather, wine drinkers fill this St. Johns Town Center hot spot for its live music and large wine selection.  In fact, The Grape likely has the largest selection of wines by the glass in Jacksonville.  However, patrons can still choose to order either a full bottle if they so desire.  Along with the normal sized glass option, diners can also order a taste of most wines on the menu.  Although only a small sample, the taste option allows diners to create their own wine flight.  We prefer this option because it allows us to try a variety of wines at a reasonable price.  Our favorites are the ’07 Kreush Auslese Riesling, Rheinhessen, Germany ($6 taste, $10 glass, $40 bottle), ’08 Molly Dooker “Maitre D” Cabernet, South Australia ($65 bottle), and the ’07 MacMurray Ranch Pinot Noir, Sonomal Coast, ($6 taste, $11 glass, $40 bottle).

Jacksonville Bakery – A Sweet to Eat Bake Shop – Half-Off!

Find Today’s Daily Deal on the Best in Jacksonville!

The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but tomake it that far you have to be disguised as baked goods. Today’s Groupon pierces hearts with cookie spears: for $6, you get $12 worth of made-from-scratch delectable treats and eats at A Sweet to Eat Bake Shop, located on Gate Parkway.

A Sweet to Eat Bake Shop’s menu features all kinds of handcrafted creamy, crunchy, and cupcakey creations. The shop’s signature chocolate chunk cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, speckled with hunks of Belgian chocolate, and sprinkled with just a dash of sea salt for a rounded-out finish ($2.25 each). Defy the same misguided masses who said you couldn’t milk a lizard, and have dessert for breakfast with a bite of fruit rugelach (three for $2), a Linzer torte slice ($3.99), a buttery, balanced scone ($1.25), or a neatly wrapped cannoli ($2.25). Cupcake flavors include red velvet, strawberry, and lemon, with buttercream headdresses offered in shades of vanilla, peanut butter, cream cheese, strawberry, and more ($2 each, bite-size $0.50 each). Lure unsuspecting neighbors into cleaning your caramel-sauce-filled pool with an aptly placed pie on the windowsill; choices include the key lime pie ($24), the tried-and-true apple lattice ($20), and the svelte, sugar-free apple lattice ($20). A Sweet to Eat also presents a large cake selection (starting at $24, cookie cakes $15) and a selection of savory snacks such as individual servings of cheesy popcorn ($1.50), roasted nuts ($3), and homemade Chex mix ($1.50).

Chef Elizabeth of A Sweet to Eat Bake Shop formerly worked at New York City’s acclaimed Magnolia Bakery before bringing her talent for satisfying sweet teeth down south. Unlike competitor bakeries, whose cupcakes are iced in the likeness of John Belushi, her confectionaries are as pretty as they are tasty, with colorful sprinkle options, festive cupcake decor, and elegantly topped tortes.

Late night crash in the St. Johns Town Center area. Drive Carefully!!!

One motorist died and another was in serious condition after a late-night crash in the St. Johns Town Center area on the Southside.

The accident occurred about 1:30 a.m. Saturday when a red Mercedes going in one direction on Gate Parkway jumped the divider line and struck another vehicle going the other way head on, according to Robert Peck, a detective with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

The crash, near Gate and Town Center parkways by the mall, left a pile of tangled red and dark metal and car parts in the road.

Peck said the male driver of the Mercedes was pronounced dead at Shands Jacksonville. The driver of the other vehicle, a Chevrolet pickup, had non-life-threatening but serious injuries, Peck said.

Police at the scene were still conducting an investigation and did not release the identities of the victims nor the cause of the crash.
