I know i know...almost a week between entries...crazy...but what can i say...it's my life. It's all a blur. From nights in the city to working like crazy, i haven't had the time to write a single entry. Everything is settling down now. Lots of things brewing and swirling today as a result of my weekend activities, and functions i attended. Keep your fingers crossed.
Life is grand. Really i have no complaints. This past weekend i got to attend a charity dinner for the Association for Children with Down Syndrome (ACDS) to which i donated a basket that received some high acclaim- of wine and gift certificates to some restaurants. The event blew my mind. I have been to many charity dinners in the past...but to see a turn out of over 500 people was just incredible. I met a lot of wonderful people, and as a result have quite a few things going for myself on the side. - business wise of course- camon what else did you think???!
The best part of the weekend for me was overseeing Sheamaldi Farms. The couple that owns it left for Florida for the weekend. I in turn inherited a lovely house, 2 amazing dogs, 4 chickens and 4 ducks to tend to. The best part is that it's located on the North Fork...out East in Baiting Hollow in a private community with a 7 minute walk to the beach. Even better? the fact that this weekend the weather was amazing. Sunrises on the beach with the dogs were amazing. The stars at night as bright as i can ever remember here on the Island. I spent the first night there with some close friends who stopped by and we all enjoyed ourselves as well as some fantastic wine. The rest of the weekend it was just me. i was alone with no distractions, no one to bother me no one to tell me what to do and i had plenty of wine to keep me company by the fire. Nothing crazy just your standard 00 Brane - Cantenac, 01 Allegrini Amarone, 03 Smith - Haut Lafite, OK so maybe not your standard, but mine for sure... i cooked up a storm of food for myself as well.I took care of their dogs, their ducks and their chickens too...i wasn't kidding when i said it was a Farm.
Stay tuned...I'm putting together a post about the Skurnik tasting, my new glasses (eye glasses not wine glasses) Irish car bombs and other wonderful things.
Cheers.
