Well, I fail and spent the evening sampling vino with friends instead of browsing music by monitor-light… It was such a tough choice.

I know next to nothing of Italian wines (if there isn’t a pinot noir/burgundy on the menu I get disoriented very fast), but thankfully the waiter had some excellent suggestions that left the table satisfied and buzzed… My receipt says that we purchased Malvasia and Ripassa -whether those are types of wine or the manufacturers is still up for discussion since I don’t speak Italian and the bottles weren’t very good at hand gestures to help me out. Either way, excellent suggestions and kudos to the staff at Girasole (even if the attendant/presumed owner started out as a bit of a prick) for a magnificent meal that left me incapable of assembling any manner of legitimate review for the evening.

I love blaming food for my shortcomings.

Hopefully I’ll do better tomorrow!(?)
