Newton Claret

date: Nov 3

drink: Newton Claret

what: anniversary dinner @ artisanal

J and I celebrated our 1 year dating anniversary on Nov 3.  interestingly enough, this will be our only non-married anniversary ever (we'll have been married 18 days or something like that by this time next year...)

Even though $ is tight these days, we HAD to go and indulge at Artisanal - before we met we both listed it among our favorites and now, together, even moreso, i think...  honestly, i could go there for every celebration, every event, every everything! (wish i'd known that they do private events BEFORE we booked the wedding- sigh)

We started the night with some tattinger champagne and then moved on to the wine...  not sure of what to pick, we did what i always do - found something on the cheaper side but not the cheapest side...  we paired it with a fabulous cheese plate, fondue, steak tartar (him) and parsnip soup (me).  We followed it with a to-go piece of cheesecake later on that night.  Thank god we got the to-go cheesecake - it gave me somewhere to stash the bottle so that i could bring it home with me ;)
