If I see a coffee shop, there's a good chance I'm stopping - no matter where I am!
That's the case with the Coffee Barn in Point Pleasant. I hadn't heard of it before, but I saw it alongside the road and knew I needed it in my life.
They have a walk-up window and a drive-thru, so that's convenient.
I went for a frozen caramel coffee (of course).
And, a little strawberry cheesecake cup which were keto-friendly.
Now, if they were only a little closer, this would be a problem for me every day!
When I heard of a new winery opening up in Point Pleasant, I had it penciled in my calendar for weeks.
OSR, which stands for Our Sibling Rebelry, is churning out all kinds of unique wines.
They have a traditional series - called the Nekkid series - where you'll find chardonnay, moscato, etc.
And then they have the bourbon barrel-aged wine series, which includes Hillbilly Love Juice. "Hillbilly Love Juice is a unique blend of white wine and apple. It is then aged in the same bourbon barrels previously used by Velvet Buddha. Aged for 2 months in these barrels, Hillbilly Love evolves into slightly sweet Blush. Notes of apple and toasted oak."
The Franken-wine line includes a cotton candy wine and one named "Betty," which is a rhubarb strawberry wine.
And, finally, the fourth series is Legendary. This includes TNT: Our home for decades, has been the TNT area. The first launch of our dedicated series of wine is appropriately named. Ohio grown Concord Grapes and Jalapeno are paired up for a deep red jammy wine with a slight heat on the back-end.
I tasted a few different ones, and there wasn't a bad one in the bunch!
I kinda think Hillbilly Love Juice is a funny name though, so I'm fond of it.
But I love that there are all kinds of interesting flavors! There's a jalapeno one that was in the works.

The Lighthouse in Point Pleasant made the list of unique places to dine a few years ago.
It's since gone through some ownership changes, so I wasn't able to catch it open while I've been in the area.
But, recently, I was able to check it out. Branded as Katie's Lighthouse, it has a main bar area, with some dining seating up to the left.
The menu has fried appetizers, salads, burgers and sandwiches.
I mixed it up a bit with two appetizers - sliders and mozzarella sticks.
Have you ever been?
The Coffee Grinder is a coffee shop in downtown Point Pleasant.
With espresso drinks, milkshakes and sodas, this shop has a little bit of everything - no matter your palate!
If you know me -- looking at that menu -- you already know what I ordered.
If you don't know me, well, the caramel mocha was a must-try.
With espresso, Ghiradelli chocolate, steamed milk, caramel syrup, and whipped cream, this drink is everything that makes me happy.
And they even sell their own coffee beans! This one is the Mothman Brew.
Point Pleasant is such a cool town with quirky attractions.
And a small, gorgeous state park!
And one of the institutions locally is the Village Pizza Inn.
Every town has their own local pizza joint, and Point Pleasant is no exception.
I love this shirt!
So, the Mothman inspires a lot of things in the area - festivals, events, etc.
And, it also inspires the pizza! This is the Mothman pizza from Village Pizza Inn - can you see it? It has a little bit of everything - mushrooms, pepperoni, green peppers, banana peppers, and peppers!
While here, don't forget to stop at the world's only Mothman museum!
