Do your friends share advice during business meetings, lunches, using email, Facebook and Twitter? My friends used to, and some still do. What pains me is that it all goes to waste, scrolls off the wall. Lots of valuable information is lost.
On the other hand, what if any piece of advice exchanged between friends got shared with all their other friends, and saved for future use? We'd all learn a lot, and have a place to come to when needing advice we can trust. That's the idea behind TrustedOnes.
Is TrustedOnes another social network? NO, because it works with your existing friends on social networks, email and mobile devices, ....and YES, because it uses your social connections to give you information from people you know and trust.
Friday night wine tadtings are a friendly neighborhood affair. this is the only place i have reliably found Aperol and Maraschino, and the rest of their selrction is quite good for their size.

The WIne & Cheese Cask has been in the first floor of a Somerville 3-decker since 1983. It's an unassuming place form the outside, but the quality of the wine selection far exceeds the small size of the place. The sales staff are all excellent; they love wine, and know the selections. If you ask for a good $20 bottle of what-not, they'll immediately steer you to a $16 bottle of something that's way better than what you were looking for, This has been my go-to place for wine for 25 years.
