City Sip

OK our new favorite wine place is City Sip. While getting a massage at Absolute Zen Bodywork (which is a must) I noticed the wine shop downstairs and asked Adrienne about it and she recommend that I give it a try. So for my birthday Chris invited a few our friends to meet up there and it was so worth it. We've been back many times since. The wine list is extensive, beer list is pleasing and if that isn't a enough there's sake. It's one of those places where the bartender knows you and knows what you like. Seriously, talk to Gretchen she'll hook you up!  Oh and don't forget your massage, Adrienne is magical.

The Platter

"The Platter" as I like to call my favorite meal is a plate full of all my tasty favorites and always accompanied by wine.  The platter usually consists of cheese, salami, cornichons, nuts, cranberries, bread and anything else that looks yummy from the cupboard. If I was sharing this platter with my sisters I'd put some pate, smoked oysters, hearts of palm and olives but turns out Chris doesn't really care for those things so those usually get left off.  I realize everybody has their own take or maybe even the same take on this platter but it's a usually weekend meal (and some weeknights) in our house. Max many times will ask for a platter for dinner and I happily oblige because that's when I know the pickiest eater is really my son.
