My parents generously took Anna and Colin for their end of summer visit. It is eagerly anticipated by all parties -- the grandkids are "spoiled" by their grandparents, my parents get time alone with my kids, and, of course, Anthony and I have childcare all week!
So we've been out every evening once again. Ah, childless and carefree! Its a little exhausting. But fun! Not so good for blogging.
Last night we went to a wine tasting - all obscure Spanish wines. We loved it, narrowed down our choices, and ordered a case. The nice older couple we were seated with had never been to a wine tasting before. This one was very unpretentious, but I don't think they liked it. Even though we only got tiny, taster portions, they left most of it in the glass, and exited immediately after the speaker was finished. No one was seated in the last chair at our table, and with them gone, Anthony and I plundered the extra seating's glasses to pinpoint our favorites. Score!

Sounds fantastic! Wish we'd been there. But then you wouldn't have had all that extra wine.
Well, none of it could compare to the 2001 Talbot we enjoyed last night.
Not to speak of the kebabs of tenderloin cooked perfectly with harigots verts just over-blanched..........yummy!
Thanks again.
We had a great time with A & C and then another great time when we brought them back home and had a great meal! Love you all and let's do it again real soon!
Love, Nana
Hee!
I went on a wine-tasting tour in New Zealand once or twice. They actually issue a warning at the beginning telling you that taking tiny sips adds up to close to a bottle of wine by the end of the day, and that you should decide now who drives home because everyone else is going to be fairly out of it.
Yeah, we bought quite a bit of wine :-)
It's amazing to me some people don't like wine tasting...
Glad you had some couple time! I guess now you're gearing up for school starting?
