We took time to look at old photos and share funny stories about these furry boys in their youth and turned the night into more of a celebration. Both wine enthusiasts, we opened four bottles and toasted to great pets past and present, a delicious meal and good, lifelong friendships.

I do enjoy opening my palate to wine from other areas in an effort to continue to broaden my knowledge and appreciation.
