On And Off New Waters

Today was a lucky day. I'm on a short business trip, and my hotel for the night happened to be hosting a quarterly wine-tasting and artists' showcase. 

I had dinner at Lure: ceviche, then the seared ahi with aioli, asparagus, and sweet potato fries. 

Even in today's meetings I felt welcome and comfortable. I felt happy that, being new to the area, everyone wanted to show me the best of what they had to offer, and what I meant to them. That felt special.

De Loach Cabernet Sauvignon

My good neighbor brought over home-made pot roast (is there any other kind?) Good thing I just picked up a bottle of this:



















De Loach 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon. It's lovely. From nose, to tongue, to gullet it is bold and smooth. The local market had it cheap and it's an excellent pair for the rich beef and gravy. This stuff could keep me warm through Winter.
