| L'art de Boire le Vin |
Years ago, Leigh Ann picked up this sweet print in Paris and gave it to Connor as a Christmas gift. We have enjoyed reading it many times... and adds a lovely decor to our home (a nice little contrast for all the ship paintings). Tonight, we will recreate it - in person - for you with our very own 2011 Syrah.

I actually made
Pasta Fagioli at the recommendation of Maggie. It was SO YUMMY! And I loved her suggestion to keep the pasta separate so that it wouldn't get soggy. Of course we indulged in our guilty pleasure of watching music videos and singing while we dined. The romance never ends. :)
P.S. We love you Leigh Ann - and we think about you all the time!
:) always loved that piece of art! I enjoyed Willie's little reenactment. Oh and glad you liked that soup!
