DINNER 199: Tuesday, July 18, 2006
This evening, a large group of us (Ted, Angel, Cindy, Denise, Mike, Greg, Parnell, Raven, Heather, Brian, Milan, Mike, Nicki, Wendy, and me) went to the third-Tuesday Wine Dinner at the Iron Horse Inn. Wendy & I have been attending this monthly event as often is we can (which is most months — thank heavens for a consistently scheduled event!) for the last 3.5 years or so. It’s great food and great wine at a great price, and we always have a blast with our friends.
