Are you two a couple?
Dan and I were enjoying a cocktail and oysters on the half shell at the zinc bar at Can Can on Friday night. Can Can is one of our favorite hangouts. It’s where we had our first date and several dates during our courtship. At one point a gentleman next to Dan looked over and asked “Are you two a couple?”. When we replied that we were, he said “Well you look as if you should be! Maybe I’m getting a vibe or something”. Maybe he was.

It was a TJ weekend
I visited Monticello this weekend and then today read about a new book called “The Billionaire’s Vinegar“, involving a a bottle of wine from Thomas Jefferson’s personal cellar. The book is a non-fiction mystery about a bordeaux worth approx. $156K.
Mr. Jefferson did love good French wines!
