Happy Birthday or Well it is Valentine's Day and Having Son and Son's Girlfriend along is just what I wanted.
We all went to Dante's on Route 125 in Barrington for dinner. We went there mostly because any place we wanted to go had reservation lists filled out long ago and this place doesn't take reservations. On the whole, it is a pretty good value and we enjoy the food. I did send back my glass of sparkling wine because I could clearly see lip/lipstick prints on the glass and it was flat. Yep, sparkling wine without a bubble in sight. They brought us two new glasses from a freshly opened bottle so that was good.
Good Friend has mentioned that he doesn't like Champagne and I wonder if it is because all he's had is stuff that's been poured for an hour, is long ago flat, and is warm to boot.
I also had a white wine called Principessa Gavi Gavia. It went very well with the fettucine alfredo with chicken that I had for dinner. One thing I've found with white wine is that I most enjoy it when having it with food. I can drink red just for the pleasure but white just doesn't have what I like in order to stand on its own.
