@MiamKitty an exceptional evening. The Barolo riserva was fabulous after a 10 hour decant but has many years of life remaining. The Barbaresco riserva was drinking at its peak. Happy I will be able to enjoy more of these. Patience pays off with Bruno!
@MiamKitty annual customer appreciation party this weekend. 2009 Pauillac and St Julien focus. Brilliant vintage served with smoked beef short ribs and sides. Ended with a 1973 Armagnac paired with chocolates.
Smoked short rib, potatoes au gratin and 2000 Pichon Lalande. Fabulous evening with great friends to close out the summer. The Shafer 2013 One Point Five was also phenomenal. @MiamKitty
Take a look at Roatan Honduras. Basically a Caribbean island with direct flights from Houston I believe so would be a short flight from there. Great snorkeling right off the beach. Great food and it’s beautiful. That boat out there a ways is there permanently and has a swing from it for kids to swing into the water.
@drantbradley My guess is children that accompany marriage are more the culprit. The after work hours that used to be spent in the gym or playing tennis etc are now spent sitting in a car shuffling kids to their various activities. Probably some “off the market” loss of motivation also
@MiamKitty annual client (and referral partner) appreciation dinner. Both Margaux were fabulous and the 2009 Palmer paired with the meal perfectly. Next year I think I revisit the 2009’vintage with Pauillac and St Julien in focus.
