running on reserve...

just noticed as i sat down to write, that i'm on reserve battery. being that i'm way too lazy to grab the power cord, we'll just see how long i can type before i have to post and shut down. kind of like when kramer took the test drive and the fuel indicator went to "EMPTY" and he and the car salesman kept driving to see how much further they could go.

i realized yesterday that i'm a HUGE fan of rosé. not white zinfandel, but real rosé...like those of Spain, France, Italy and, yes Kelly, Austria (one of our top-notch servers who turned me on to an awesome Austrian rosé based on the zweigelt grape. esoteric? yes. delicious? indeed.) in actuality, it wasn't yesterday that i became aware of my roséphilia--i've always known it--it just hit home last night after a long day/night at the restaurant and i poured myself what could only be termed a "towering" glass of Chinon rosé. Chinon is an area in the Loire Valley in France that produces mostly red wine from the Cabernet Franc grape, but there is a smaller amount of rosé produced: dry, minerally, delicate strawberry fruit, seashell aromas...the perfect food rosé.

well...it looks like i had better post. my battery is almost dead and i have to get to work. come by banQ tonight and see me. more later...

ma vie en rosé,
geoffrey
