Within my first 24 hours at Coutet I was already sunburned. Unfortunately the result is a farmer's tan! This happened while sharing an aperitif on the terrace with the owner of Pompei restaurants (Chicago, IL) and his wife (my first guests of the summer). We had a lovely tour of the grounds and chai followed by a glass of the 2005 millesime (which is scheduled to be bottled sometime this fall).
If anyone has any suggestions how I might even out my tan before Saturday so I don't look stupid in my dress for the upcoming black tie event --- I am am ears.
I arrived in Strasbourg late Saturday night, joining my grand-mother for 3 days. She is now in a wheel chair which she calls her convertible! For Sunday lunch we went to the Hotel Diana where we had ourselves a glass of Chartreuse de Coutet (1999) and some champagne (more specifically, I sipped and she drank). After our four hour celebration we headed home for a much deserved nap. We've been catching up on the past year; she has been patient enough to look at the gazilion photos from Kellogg. This short trip is also giving the opportunity to catch up on sleep :) The weather is fantastic in these necks of the woods -- although last night we had ourselves a nice thunder storm.
I hope everyone is doing well!
