Helen of Brooklyn, is headed off to Europe for a spell and had a farewell party. And what a party. DONE RIGHT!
Robb kicked some serious Ass in the kitchen, here he is slicing up two of THE most incredible slabs of tuna I've ever seen. I just stood there at the table slamming down hunks of tuna with some beautiful Sauv Blanc from Abe in the other hand.
When sabering goes wrong... Who knew that slamming a saber down the neck of a bottle of Champagne doesn't always result in a clean break? Half a bottle of rose champers went flying, but it made for an interesting spectacle anyhow... Here's the final result, pouring a broken bottle into a beaker with a coffee filter to strain out errant glass shards...
Abe led us through a white wine seminar, including some killer Gewurtztraminer, Grunerveltliner, Sauv blanc, Fruilian Bianco, and others. We had a stunning 07 Pichler Gruner V, but my winner was Abe's 07 Prince in His Caves, an incredible 07 Skin fermented Sav Blanc with all sorts of peachy, stone fruit notes. http://www.scholiumwines.com/the_prince.html
No party is complete, of course, without a fireshow.. AND, as an added treat, I also have a new post for the all important, "How much does my mustache suck?" site: http://howmuchdoesmymustachesuck.blogspot.com
