The Wall Street Journal, in an attempt to encourage their wine-loving readers to drink the good stuff, began an Open That Bottle night program. Instead of hiding your prized wines (I have several from the early 1990s that I've been hoarding), you take them to a party of fellow wine enthusiasts and drink.
We participated Sunday night at the home of my editor friend who lives downtown in the old Block building. Although I've turned Matt into a wine snob over the years, we paled in comparison to most of the knowledgeable folks sharing bottles at this fest. There were Rochioli pinot noirs, Martinelli Zinfandels from Jackass Vineyard, plenty of Côtes du Rhône, Burgundy and Châteauneuf-du-Pape...and one of my old boyfriends. DRINK!
Just kidding, it was fine.
Matt and I met DJ for dinner at St. Elmo's afterward--more wine--and then flipped a coin for who drove home. Fun evening.
