The Party on April 16th
We told you we were gonna do it and then it happened. So thank you for braving the unpredicted sunshine, streetcar construction diversions, and general Friday chaos to come down and help us celebrate our 10th anniversary.
I could spend some time here letting you know about all the things that we had in mind for this party but didn’t materialize, or I could focus on all the unplanned wonders of the evening that we had. First of all, we had several rounds of big bottle champagnes and sparklers from grower bottling down to Prosecco. There was no shortage of 2000 vintage but we also had some quality bottles from almost every walk of life. True standouts from my mouth include an 82’ Chinon, a 2000’ Bonneau Cistene, a 78’ Mouton - alive and kicking, Cameron’s 1’st pinot vintage (die dammit!), a bucket of early oregon stickies, all elements of a full frontal American Pinot retardation, and a whole lot of stuff I personally missed out on because I was probably talking to …you?
We really had a good time. There were some touching moments, some other moments we wont touch on, and moments where we would happily replay again.
The party was a big thank you to YOU and it ended up with us getting the imbalance of gratitude. The fact that you folks are so nice, have so many good things to say about us, really makes it uncomfortable for us to now raise your rent.
