silverlake wine business cards.
went to silverlake wine after work yesterday for their weekly thursday tastings. the white flight was all austrian gruner veltliners, and the red flight was all primitivos (two italian, one californian). and of course, the let's be frank truck was outside offering up their tasty dogs. dan and i each had one of the spicy dogs, and then i had the white tasting while he did the red. on the way out i purchased a juris pinot noir (austrian, mike's belated birthday present) and a verdad rose (90/10 grenache/tempranillo rose - they were all out of the malbec rose that we tried a few weeks back that i loved, so giving this one a shot). ALSO! they had koshihikari echigo beer - our drink of choice whenever we go to the alibi room for some kogi. didn't buy any since i was already spending a pretty penny, but will definitely be going back to stock up on those bad boys.
speaking of kogi, we met up with robyn and his girlfriend amy at the alibi room on tuesday night. they were on the last leg of a three week road trip, and with their last stop in LA, they wanted to try the famous korean/mexican delights. we had the blackjack quesadilla of course, and short rib tacos, but we also tried the tofu tacos for the first time. they recently changed the recipe and it is really freaking good - i'll definitely be getting it regularly now.
off to boston / cape cod tonight for the peas' 35th anniversary. it'll be nice to have the whole fam together.. or painful & disatrous....
