envenomation culprits are the scorpi-
on fish, the lionfish and the stonefish.
Two of the three are “illegal aliens,” or
invasive species. The least venomous
is the scorpion fish, which is indig-
enous to Florida.

The National Institutes of Health
claims “stonefish are one of the most
venomous fish in the world with po-
tential fatal local and systemic toxic-
ity effects to human.” Even if treated
promptly, recovery from a jab of a
stonefish barb or quill “usually takes
about 24 to 48 hours.”

Originally native to the waters off
Australia, the stonefish can now be
found throughout Florida waters and
the Caribbean.

Lionfish also are native to the South
Pacific and Indian oceans but have
been introduced to this area. Their
range appears to be spreading. They
have been reported from Florida to
North Carolina and as far north Long
Island, New York, in waters as shallow
as 1 foot and as deep as 300 feet.

Finally, Florida has its fair share of
jellyfish – though the most feared and
best known isn’t a jellyfish at all. The
Portuguese man-of-war, according to
the National Oceanic and Atmospher-
ic Administration, “is actually a spe-
cies of siphonophore.”

Back in mid-February, hundreds of
these creatures washed up onto south
Florida beaches. As the Sun-Sentinal
reported, “in Delray Beach, most of
the 358 minor medical incidents on
the beach so far this month have been
Portuguese man-of-war stings.”

According to National Geographic,
“a man-of-war sting is excruciatingly
painful, but rarely deadly. But beware
– even dead man-of-wars washed up
on shore can deliver a sting.”

Scared? That’s not what Marzano
wants. What he does want is for peo-
ple to know what’s out there and how
to best cope with any marine enven-
omation that might come their way.

Websites for organizations such as
the American Academy of Underwa-
ter Sciences, NIH and NOAH are an
excellent place to start. 

of his dishes.

Two Saturdays ago, our party of two
stopped in, and our server – after taking
our drink order (not beer, but a couple
of glasses of a nice Napa Chardonnay) –
brought the menus and told us about the
evening’s specials.

For starters, I decided to try the soup
of the day, beef barley ($3), and my hus-
band opted for the chicken liver mousse
($9). The home-style soup was very tasty,
and the mousse – served along with jam
and gastrique for the crostinis – was rich
and creamy.

On this evening, Michael’s was of-
fering only one entrée – chicken and
dumplings ($15). I quickly claimed that,
so my husband decided to have the
jumbo lump crab cake off the appetizer
menu ($20).

The chicken and dumplings – a dish I
have not had in many years – was clas-
sic comfort food, full of old-fashioned
homemade goodness. The lump crab
cake, served with a Creole mustard
sauce, also was excellent.

We finished with a very nice slice of
blueberry cheesecake ($8).

On previous occasions, we had tried
the Prince Edward Island mussels ($15)
and various salads off the appetizer
menu, as well as Lander’s lobster mar-
tini ($20), which was a mainstay on the
menu of the old Michael’s Table – butter
poached lobster in a beurre blanc sauce.

On any given weekend night, you
might also find a fish of the day as an
entrée. At the old Michael’s Table, there
were always seafood dishes, and you
could be confident it was going to be an
excellent piece of fish.

But one of the problems with dining
at this mini-version of Michael’s Table
is you can’t be confident of what you are

newest and latest. You know, like when

While the wine elites indulge in the
bacchanal of en primeurs, the rest of us
should be scurrying around to our local
wine stores and gobbling up as many of
the “petit chateau” Bordeaux as we can
find from the 2015 and 2016 vintages.
Leave the pricey stuff to the collectors.

The 2015 and 2016 harvests combined
ample crop with high-quality ripeness,
thanks primarily to good weather in Au-
gust and September. So while the wine
media fawn over the first growths and
grand crus that cost into the hundreds,
we can enjoy delicious wines for $15
or even lower. Stock up now and drink
them over the next several years. That’s
the beauty of vintage.

Wine is a product of its place of origin,
and its vintage, as interpreted by the
winemaker. A vintner grows the same
grape varieties in the same place every
year, but the wines are different because
of the weather – the vintage. A spring
frost may reduce the final crop, a hail-
storm in July could decimate a promis-
ing harvest, while sunshine in August
and September can eliminate a season’s
worth of trouble.

Some famous wines are not depen-
dent on vintage. Champagne, sherry,
tawny port – these classics blend wines
from many years to achieve greatness
and consistency. Some wines, such as
Marietta Cellars Old Vine Red (one of
my favorite Great Values of 2017), blend
different vintages precisely to overcome
the vagaries of individual years.

But how important is vintage when
we buy wine? For most people, I sus-
pect it is not a factor, or perhaps it’s

access to the kitchen when entertain-

throughout the ground floor make
the indoor/outdoor lifestyle of island
living worry-free.

The first-floor family room is lined
with pecky cypress and has a coral
stone fireplace at the center. Sliding-
glass doors open onto the house-wide
back verandah, giving way to expan-
sive water views.

The northern wing of the house
includes a bedroom and bathroom
before leading down a gallery-style
hallway with windows on one side
and the laundry room and a full bath
on the other.

At the end of the hall, double doors
lead into the home office. A brick fire-

with bedroom, bath and office or sit-
ting area, perfect for a guest wing or
mother-in-law suite. Floor-to-ceiling
pickled cypress, a vaulted ceiling
with exposed beams and a bow win-
dow offering a view of the front lawn
add to the ambiance.

The southern wing of the house
includes a pantry, access to the de-
tached two-car garage via a breeze-
way, and a large kitchen with a butch-
er block island, granite countertops,
breakfast nook overlooking the pool,
and a garden window over the sink
with a view of the river to the south.

“This is a very light and open
house,” says Nancy. “I love the light. It
makes me feel like I’m living outside.”

Back at the front foyer, a wooden
staircase leads to the family living
area. Parquet oak floors on the up-
per level create a warm ambiance.
Two bedrooms with balconies and a
shared bath occupy the northern side
of the house. The master takes up the
other side, offering views of the river
to the south and west. The master
suite includes another balcony, his
and her closets, and a bathroom with
Philippine shell-stone finishes, a wa-
ter closet and a sunken tub.
