Wine & Style

Touch Of Elegance..

I am pretty good at dragging Jenn to various events and tonight was no exception. I managed to get myself on some mailing list that included an invitation to an evening of food & wine tastings hosted by Chicago's "Food and Wine" magazine. It's a very good publication, don't get me wrong. Inside you'll find great recipes and hints & tricks for getting through the Chicago winter with foods to warm the soul.

Whatever.

The event was hosted at a place called "460 Degrees" and is a fancy art gallery that is also a Lexus car dealership. Weird. In typical fashion, me and Jenn just stuffed our face full of the free hors d'oeuvres and great quality wines (courtesy of Bin 36) and then we made our graceful exit.

We ended up having some champagne with some friends at "Delacosta", a fancy place down towards Navy Pier; a really long walk if you ask Jenn. In any case, we spent most of the evening chatting to each other, and making some fun of the poor chap who was beside himself with joy to meet us. With hand clamped to his chest, he proclaimed how PROUD he was to meet us, how PLEASED he sincerely was to meet our acquaintance, how GENUINELY HAPPY he was to see us. Oh boy. It was exhausting.
