Because some mornings you need a triple espresso.
Just dipping my toe into the deep pool of studies that awaits me. One more week…
1967 Vougeot. Amazing fruit in the glass.
Another wine someone brought in. A joy to open. This wine was pretty much muddy. It was far from good, but not quite gone bad. I have no experience with wines of this age. I asked the guest if it was normal. He said, “War, depression, France was a mess. That’s just how the wine was made at the time. It’s eighty years old, you can’t expect much.”
Smoked red bell pepper. Mud-wet gravel. Blue cheese. So much more, changed every fifteen minutes. #BottleoftheNight
Tonight’s food and wine pairing experiment: single vineyard aged Manzanilla with traditional Burmese fermented tea leaf salad. Stay tuned for results later tonight…
Late night peek-a-boo with my car. Hashtag Saturdaynightclosing
Amazing dinner last night at Il Vecchio restaurant in #Monterey. Great food, service, and prices!
More awesomeness. But, truth be told, it is still way to early to drink this.
Perks of passing:
#1—awesome congratulatory bottle from my wine rep.
#2—free time spent with a news paper and not a flash card in sight.
