Great Time, Gallons of Wine





Derek's parents were in town for a Pinot Festival, and he invited me along for the salmon bake portion of it.
Let me restate this: a HUGE, International Pinot Festival. Salmon Bake? Sure. But also a million different kinds of salads, pastas, desserts, etc. It wasn't from any ordinary caterer. Nope. The menu was designed by the likes of the guys at Simpatica Dining Hall, among other places.
And there was wine. Lots and lots of wine.
I'm not going to be drinking wine for a long, long time. Not as long a hiatus as when I came back from Italy, but it will still definitely be a while.
And, even though it was dark, I didn't get a single mosquito bite.
It was an all-around good evening.
