Just a quick note to alert you all that I will be heading to Shola Olunloyo’s Studio Kitchen tonight. For those of you that have never heard of it, here are a few posts from the last few times I have been there:
For those of you who refuse to click on links, basically, Shola is an extremely talented chef that hosts people in his apartment and prepares a multi-course, amazing dinner. I have been several times (this will be my fifth, I believe) and I am very excited to go again tonight—with one exception: the last two times I have brought corked wines. Being the ‘Wine Guy’ this always makes me feel like a schmuck. I know it is not my fault, but nonetheless….
I am headed to the basement now to grab some Champagne. Normally, I would go for am older, heavy hitter, but I am worried about my current ‘losing streak’ so I am not really sure what to do. Maybe one more or less ‘sure bet’ and then another a little riskier.
I will be sure to let you know how it turns out—wish me luck!
Get this one right please, just sayin!
So, did I ‘get it right’?
just bring a few extra bottles – you will do just fine! When I go visit close friends, I usually take a few bottles, but the leave some aside as a reserve, and if all goes well, I take my “spare bottles” back home…
I took a few extra and they all turned out to be good! Post of the evening to follow soon (I hope)!
great, looking forward!
I meant a few EXTRA bottles…
Fingers are crossed! The food sounds amazing.
Food was the best of all the times we have gone (but really splitting hairs)…
Good luck, have fun and hope all goes well!!
Thanks! It all went swimmingly! Post to come….
