October 2009 | Chandon Brut Classic

Thanks... thanks for the vodka... thanks for the bubbly (no) thanks for Jameson. And thanks-fucking-giving for the thanksgiving dinner. We had one hell of a dinner (finally) on a Friday after work and clients. I made all the fixings and we poured out the bubbly and wine. And shots. And I learned: that I can stop it on command. Though apparently a pen doesn't compare to the size of..

March 2006 | Chalone 2005 Pinot Noir

Chalone, it's been too long since our last meeting. Opened you while dancing in my new panties and curling my hair. And shared you with Yuri before an amazing dinner at Ana Mandara. Paired you with chocolates, strawberries, and whipped cream. You never fail to please. Drank you over the course of a week - and even Liu Cheng to a share. Till we meet again!

November 2010 | Korbel Sec

The Korbel tasting room is likely one of the cheesiest tasting rooms I've ever been to. Somehow I thought it'd be a great idea to buy 10 bottles of bubbly. The best one of the lot is this sweeter "sec"... which I saved for a special night with Adam. By "special" I mean getting totally wasted and dancing the night away at 330 Ritch!

May 2009 | Schroeder Familia 2004

A special bottle of vino brought by fu after his adventures in Argentina. We shared this wine over our last (...in a while...) dinner together in SF. It was a special - and sad - evening as we recalled our memories together, laughed and cried, and of course - enjoyed the dinner we cooked. In our last days together we went dancing in the club, took classes together (including a kick ass 2 hour kickbox class in Sacramento w/Q), went to wine country, got shitfaced drinking cocktails, played with street chalk... a perfect way to bring fu's time in SF to a close.

September 2009 | Mumm Napa Brut

Le house party highlight: cL makes a toast while everyone has their 3oz dixie cup shot-o-goose in hand. And as requested by Kevan: cL publicly makes out with G. "I kissed a girl and I liked it!"

February 2010 | Wattle Creek Sparkling

Valentines Day Weekend

A Friday night date with G: wine tasting at Wattle Creek turned into me becoming a wine member and buying this sparkling wine. It's on the dry side, so I was hesitant to serve it during the 1st course of my long-planned-out-dinner with Adam. Which was dessert (first). Though I found myself drinking this before he even came over. You know, to take the edge off. Adam got to drink this bubbly during the blindfolded parts of my lapdance for him. And although it was on the dry side, I think it paired just fine with a little chocolate and a side of Christine. We killed the bottle over a multi-course dinner I prepared, then danced the night away at the De la Soul concert at Yoshi's. Holla!

February 2009 | Etoile Brut Sparkling Wine

A second "date" with Matt Barker. Meal gets a 6.5 on my scale - though washing down a steak and scallop (and-too-adventurous) carrot flan dinner with Domain Chandon's nicest bottle of bubbly is never a bad idea. cL was boring this evening, so the highlight was Barker watching her cook (or rather overcook) a steak. We spoke different languages tonight but I think we were on teh same page at the end of the night.
