As life has unfolded step by step with all that has had to happen to try to make the sale of Columbus Street go smoothly, it doesn't always happen that way.
With most everything done and dusted, I've felt like I can treat myself to a few things that I love and a few things I wanted. but weren't essential MUSTS.
Wine falls into the "love" category.
Oh, I can always make do, but with friends coming in the fall and remembering two of my favorites; I ordered my Triguedina and my Sancerre to have on hand.
I hadn't really planned on dipping into any of my stash.
I went ahead and ordered a 4th bottle of the Henri Bourgeois Sancerre and put it the fridge as soon as it arrived yesterday so it would be cool for later that day. Sancerre was introduced to me by my ex-pat American love in Paris, so I get it whenever I can as a treat for me, and often others!
And besides, any wine that has your own last name in it is a wine you MUST have and keep on hand if you can!
The reality of COVID has meant not a lot of get togethers and entertaining.
As I thought about other things I felt I needed I asked myself: "But will you really use all of this stuff if you're not doing aperos and dinner parties like you used to do before COVID? I'm hard on wine glasses...I wanted enough to not worry every time one breaks.
Celebrating 20 years of here I quickly realized that I didn't have any champagne glasses.
And, as much as I loved all the dishes I cobbled together after the fire...I actually wanted a whole set of dishes that matched!
Now, I will have two full sets of dishes that match AND can be mixed and matched with what I already have to make us even more "interesting!"
WE want to feel complete as we dip and slide into Book Two.
Love to All!
Happy Wednesday!
