Happy Anniversery


Anniversaries happen, I enjoy them. If you spend enough time with a person you kind of get used to them and even start to like them. I pretty much like my wife, she has a million great attributes, one of them being she is great to go out to dinner with. Our anniversary is in early September. The day was gorgeous, the sun was out , there was a pleasant breeze and it wasn't sweltering. We started the evening at Acqua, a new restaurant in White Bear Lake. We had a bruschetta and a small pizza with a glass of Burgans Albarino. I have been loving the albarinos this summer. We sat out on the deck and talked and sipped. A great way to spend an evening. We moved the party to Ursula's for a treat on the deck. We had crab stuffed mushroom caps and an heirloom tomato salad. The tomatoes we have been getting this summer are fabulous. We complemented the food with a bottle of 2002 Shafer Hillside Select Cabernet. Nothing but the best. It was beautiful, it didn't take too long to open up and our mouths were treated to rich black cherry and cassis flavors with a hint of smokiness. A perfect wine for a perfect day.
