Another mini-GTG in Chester, VA

So Tina is here with Hershel and Remi who I hope to meet tomorrow. We met up and had dinner at an Italian place here. (For those of you who wonder, I don't cook that much--I can, but I don't...). And right now the house is in a state of constant disruption as I go through it and pack some things and toss others out. So a restaurant it was. We had a great time; was so nice to meet her. But we decided we needed to share the description of the wine we had which was called a Riff Pinot Girgio. The description said, and I quote, "The complex mineral backbone of this wine reflects the alluvial soil fund in the foothills of the Dolomites; a part of the Alps rich in limestone-made fossil deposits left by an ancient ocean ("Riff" is German for reef)." And I'm very proud to say I know what alluvial soil is! Now aren't you all impressed!
So before Mitchy asks if we fossils like our wine, lemme say that this is the first and only wine I've ever had that could possibly make my bones stronger. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!!!
And yes, it was good, we liked it alot, and by the way, we don't qualify for fossil status yet, Mitch!
By the way, Tina has the only pics...unfortunately my plan to leave work and run home to grab the camera turned into me calling Tina and telling her I was on my way--late as usual. I can't wait until I actually don't have to worry about the clock all day long cuz then maybe I'll be on time for dinner! LOL...
