Dinner at Beacon with the Vodka crowd - amazingly simple - amazingly wonderful meal -
Cruised the wine list - Chateau Musar 1997 - a wine I would never have chosen were it not for one member of the wine group who could be the head cheerleader for the New York Chapter of the Chateau Musar club -
Heard it from a Chef - "you've got to be kidding" -
Read it on-line - absolute disbelief -
Lobster Salad at Loaves and Fishes in The Hampton's is $100 per pound -
The mind was willing - the body said enough - ergo - left over ice wine on the refrig door -
Weeks passed - BBQ time - Mussels in Vodka Sauce - eureka moment -
T.J.O'Brian's closed - 1 year to the day - never became a neighborhood institution - missed the mojo of success - R.I.P.
Hosted the tasting group outdoors - practically no one could figure out what we were drinking - maybe it was the fresh air -
Quick trip thru the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel - a left turn - a right turn - I'm lost in Red Hook - a rolling cell phone call - I'm near - another left turn - a parking space - voila - LeNell's -
