The evening started with a great friend fetching me from home. I was also greeted by a Westie who is a cutie, named Rufus. Rufus' mom is none other than a gorgeous pregger, whom seems to stunt us with all things beautiful being pregnant.
Instead of expecting a session of wine-tasting, little did we know, this great friend had managed to cook up a four course dinner! The menu consists of pumpkin soup as starter, lamb salad with home-made Thai-inspired dressing, for main course it was chicken and leek in white wine broth (yummy!!) and dessert by our beautiful pregger, a home-baked flourless cake ( I hope I got it right here).
Each bite on each course was accompanied by about 10 choices of red and white wines (mostly new world) brought to us by our knowledgeable sommerlier. It was truly a mind-opening gastronomic adventure for me. The food, the wines, the company of great women, are just too good to be true. I was in ecstacy, partly attributed by too many glasses (I was too eager to taste them all!). But mostly by the great atmosphere.
The night was a great preview of what a great event it is going to be, come October. This great friend, as always, will be pouring every ounce of her love and effort to ensure her guests will have the best. I know we will (have the best) and with her bubbly little sister as side-kick, nothing is impossible..
