WOWAWEEWA!
well past into the middle of the day...and not much has been done...but there is a buzz around the store...I'm digging the positive vibe and the radiant energy today. I'm excited about the new frames I picked out for myself yesterday and in the mean time while on a delivery I managed to sneak up to La Plage up in Wading River yesterday. Had to see my favorite French Chef and say hello...I haven't seen him in over a month and would you know it he even whipped me up some super fresh tuna tartar on the spot...and whats better is I got to enjoy it with a glass of some Olivier Leflaive 2008 St. Aubin Premier Cru... The vineyards of Saint Aubin are situated right behind the villages of Chassagne and Puligny. With a south-west / south-east exposure the Chardonnay grapes that have been planted there for over twenty years yield some fantastic fruit. The wine with aromas of almonds and delicate spices sings delightfully in the floral infused nose, and showcases a captivating racy, pure and intense mid-palate with a finish that seems to linger forever!! Amazing. Something about tuna tartar and a white Burgundy in the middle of the day that just makes you feel so good. The sorbet selection was not that bad either! I put in a solid day at work yesterday and on the way home sneaked in the back door of MOSAiC in St. James...one of my other favorite places on earth...simply to say hello and taste the Boys on some Bunraku....we all know what that is by now...the problem with the 300mL size bottles is that they're too small...its like a single serving size...and it's delicious. That was it, a quick hello a taste of Sake and my evening was done.....not quite....
After i got home i got a call from a really good friend of mine, who also happens to be my attorney...he wanted to get together and meet in town to discuss a few things. So of course we met up for a beer, which eventually turned to two. And then one of the coolest surprises in a long time. One of my best friends who I haven't seen in over a year who is getting his PhD down at UVA calls me, asks me what I am doing and walks in 10 minutes later to join us. What happens when you get together with your lawyer who happens to be a good friend and one of your best friends who you haven't seen in over a year?? It's like the beginning of some kind of a joke if you think about it a lawyer a PhD grad and an Oenophile sitting in a bar.....hah... well it started with another round of beers...and then Mr. PhD decided to switch us over to liquor. There was a lot of laughter a lot of catching up and a night that lasted a lot longer than it should have...but i can handle that. hey now! when it rains it pours. Cheers
