Busy Week + Chateau Alone
filed under: Ramblings



Whew! What a busy week it's been! I was down in LA to host a tasting of Israeli wines as part of the festivities celebrating the 60th anniversary of Israel, then gave a chat at the UCLA Anderson School of Business, where I spent two very happy (if busy) years not long ago, and even managed to fit in a couple of meals at two Angeleno eateries I've been dying to check out - Osteria Mozza (props go out to my friend the GM and wine guru-about-town, David Rosoff) and Comme Ca, a super cute new bistro on Melrose across the street from the always fab Lucques...

Love LA, can't wait to get back. Next on my list of spots to dine down south: Fraiche in Culver City.

Also wanted to share this funny video - the header that caught my eye was "This is a wine you could go to bed with" - I recently stumbled on at Open Wine Consortium. Made by SF Comedy Group SPF7, it's a hilarious send up of a faux wine called "Chateau Alone" and definitely one of the more amusing videos on wine I've seen online. Doesn't hurt that it's also just a couple of minutes long. Check it!
