It was a fun and record breaking night....
The fun part was playing board games while imbibing adult beverages and devouring hors d'eurves...Gary brought two unmarked bottles of Merlot wine....One was on sale at Whole Foods for a ridiculously low price of under $5....the other was a more expensive bottle of the same type of wine.
The taste test began as I went through all of the motions that I had seen on the movie: "Sideways"...smelling, swirling, and finally tasting. (Dave skipped the first two steps and just went right into the drinking part.)
Well, we both selected the bargain wine as the more expensive one...which just goes to show you that you can't always go by price when it comes to wine.
Or, it shows that Dave and I have absolutely no idea what a more pricey wine tastes like!
Anyway, we had a lovely dinner of pita-wrapped salmon filets with lemon-garlic aeoli and julienne veggies inside, brown and wild rice mixture and my friend, Ellen's famous cold broccoli salad.
A bottle of champagne was opened during dinner as we all toasted friendship and a healthy and happy 2008!
The record that was broken was that Sharon never makes it up very late but this year she was still around at 11:47 p.m.
Maybe next year she will actually make it to midnight... : 0
