Day Trip: Doghobble Farm in Dahlonega
Before I went to Doghobble Wine Farm, I was apathetic about wine. I would enjoy a glass with friends and family if there was an open bottle, but I would immediately go back to my comfort zone of cocktails and the occasional beer. I tended to avoid wineries but Doghobble feels like something completely different. […]
Unearthing a Year of Highlights
It has been over a year since I first took my position as mascot and columnist here at the DiG. In that time, I have brought grounded, down-to-earth stories and thought-provoking conversation to the county through my articles. Together, you and I have tried dining in the dark, learned Gwinnett’s rich history through the names […]
Not the Norm: Dining in the Dark
One of the many joys of worm life that I think you humans are really missing out on is the ritual of dining in the dark. So many sights pull you away from the moment you’re having at the table: the noisy nearby tables, servers and bussers speed-walking to and fro, that one crumb on […]
Tipsy: Hot Mocktails
From hot chocolates to chai lattes, there are plenty of popular hot drinks to enjoy in the colder months of the year.

Haunted Places in Gwinnett
In my time digging into Gwinnett, I have come across all kinds of stories. Few things in this county surprise a well-traveled bookworm like me, but every now and then I come across a story that can’t be explained by natural logic. This collection of stories from Gwinnett’s haunted locations still sends a shiver down […]
Turning Daytime Drinks into Nighttime Cocktails
When first entering the world of cocktails, it can be hard to find your perfect drink. With an infinite number of possible beverages, each having its own unique name that doesn’t describe the flavor or ingredients the drink contains, mixology can feel like more of an “ology” than it actually is. However, you don’t need […]
Not the Norm: Odd Street Names
Like many of my fellow bookworms, one of my favorite topics of conversation is etymology: the study of the origin of words. Often in my journeys across Gwinnett, I find my attention drawn to the names of places around the county, and I wonder how those names came to be. Cities, restaurants, neighborhoods and these […]
Not the Norm: Gwinnett’s Best Bathrooms
Anyone can review a restaurant, but we never talk about the unsung hero of public dining: the bathrooms. I’ve inched my way across Gwinnett in search of the bathrooms that go above and beyond, creating a space of relaxation and wonder. These restaurants put in a little extra care to make using the restroom a […]
