Taking a break from the blog didn't meant we took a break from doing fun things with people we love. A couple months back I won a wine basket from a raffle my co-worker's mom set up. I don't remember the exact organization (SORRY it was a loonnnng time ago...but not in a galaxy far, far, away.)
Anyhoo the wine basket was filled with goodies including a free wine tasting to Cooper's Hawk. Months past and during that time we've had the pleasure a few times, with hanging out with the lovely Aireen Arellano and her truly awesome husband Jeff Loftus. They have expressed a huge interest in Cooper's and have praised it's fine food and wine.
So after many busy weekends we found time to get together and spend the date with one of our favorite couples.
The wine is incredible and that statement is coming from someone who does not drink wine. But the way the tasting was set up is it was like a scorecard and a scene out of the movie, Sideways...where Paul Giamatti dumps the tasted wine over his face. Great scene, great movie...right Nic...*crickets. After getting a little tipsy we had lunch reservations. Man it was pricey but it was very very yummy. I ordered the crab cakes and they melted in my mouth. I'm not sure what Nic's take on the experience was but I bet she could tell you it was...amay za za zing. Nic...
Nicole: Yes, the whole experience really was amazing! I've been wanting to go to Coopers Hawk since we won the tasting and am so glad we had the opportunity to go with such amazing friends! I'm not a huge wine drinker but it was really great to see and taste the subtle differences in each wine. It really made me appreciate it more and made me want to maybe get into drinking it a little more. Wine Club anyone? The food was great and it is definitely a place that I would love to go back to sometime. I know there are a few more locations so I'm interested to see what each one has to offer.
