Sometimes life is really hard! For example, tonight is the annual meeting of the Sommelier Guild of Atlanta. This is not one of our typical tastings. Tonight we are meeting at Cafe Intermezzo in Atlanta. Every member who is coming has to bring a bottle of wine from his (or her) cellar. So we have 19 members coming. That means 19 bottles of wine. Some members have been known to bring more than one bottle. Plus the Guild is furnishing some stuff that we didn't drink at other tastings: Pol Roger Brut Campagne Reserve 1996, Pommery Cuvee Louise Champagne 1993, and Kistler Chardonnay Durell Vineyard 2001.
I really wish I could get out of this, but since I'm an officer, I have to attend.
Poor me!

Enjoy dinner...and drain a few for me.

Posted by: Rob Cooper on July 25, 2006 08:56 PMYou poor dear!
Just kiddin'. I wish I could join you for the event.
Instead, I'm headin' up to Napa Valley to drown my sorrows. I'll lift a glass of Bryant Family to you.

...look at the variety on the menu...and the coffee sounds amazing. I could care less about vino, I'm a fine coffee addict. I'm drooling at the thought of the gourmet coffee served at Cafe Intermezzo.
What did you eat?
Did you go to the one in Dunwoody?
Nope. The one in Atlanta. The one in Dunwoody is owned by the ex-wife of the owner of the one in Atlanta.
Posted by: Denny on July 25, 2006 10:50 PMY'all can go to the Dunwoody here, but it's a drafting school across from the spoon bridge and cherry. Wish I could host one of these partays at my house someday, y'all bring the wine and Coffee?
lisakay - You furnish good food, I'll furnish good wine.
