Venerable Bede

last RW, i went to corduroy and had a fantastic pinot noir (Foxen) that i haven't been able to find anywhere in d.c. so, glad to hear that i'm not the only one having problems tracking down stuff like this.

i'll just have to ape everyone else, my favourite gift was my dark blue kitchenaid 5 qt. mixer. while i got the mixer for my birthday a year ago, i recently got married and put all my wildest kitchen dreams on the registration. . .got all the le crueset, but none of the knives. so, looks like i'll have to treat myself to the wusthof set i've been eyeing.

for some reason i have taken a shine to rieslings this summer - don't ask me to explain it. as such, i've been greatly enjoying columbia winery's cellarmaster's riesling, which runs around $10 a bottle.
