Welcome to The Capital Q
Thanks for visiting The Capital Q, "Advices for minor vices."
The Capital Q curates and shares the latest in wine, cigars, cocktails, art, style, travel and more.
Our goal is to be easy living and easy reading, devoid of pretension, always open-minded and curious. It's like drinking good wine out of a mason jar on a summer's evening or smoking a cigar around a firepit on a chilly fall afternoon, planning meals for tomorrow's gathering during an extended weekend.
It's anticipation of good things to come, like watching a bartender pour a perfectly chilled martini and knowing that the evening is going to be memorable.
Or, you were invited to an outdoor dinner in a vineyard after a hot summer's day. The smell of baked earth underneath your feet mixes with the sound of crickets in the distance, holding promise for the meal to come.
At times we'll class it up, like attending a black-tie event in a castle ballroom illuminated by candles and stocked with champagne. She's in attendance, as you'd hoped. Tonight, the chase ends exquisitely.
The Capital Q is a mindset that we think you share. It's about enjoying life to the fullest, occasionally getting in enough trouble to warrant an apology but not so much trouble that a warrant is issued. Within these pages we hope you'll find something that will enhance the time you spend with friends, family or alone. Let us know what you think.

Just as a black tuxedo, the little black dress and National League baseball will never go out of style, the same can be said of the martini. It's important for us to relay where we stand on this beverage by laying down some of our house rules.
