That is truly what can be said about last Thursday night's Gotham wine tasting (#2). I missed the first and was really happy I could make the second and it didn't disappoint. Quite the opposite.

(Corey...the link to Sting's song please:) The Golf House Club in Elie built in May 1875 and across the Blackness Bay from Edinburgh, said workers were making improvements to the fairway bunkers on the ninth hol …
It's morning on Long Island. The snow is falling, the wind is blowing and a blanket of snow engulfs the landscape. It's deep enough to smooth out the contours of the land around me.
