ABOUT LAST NIGHT: @mintandcraft's semi-monthly community table pop-up supper series continued with the re-introduction of #MichaelAvila as new executive chef @novorestaurant with 2 stunning wines selected by @bluemangoslo somm @samantha_payette_welch ... First up @rococowines beautiful #cheninblanc from Los Alamos, crisp and rich the way #hellachenin is supposed to be (and quick memo to #winefolly: IT TASTES NOTHING LIKE FUCKIN RIESLING) followed by a nicely-patina'd 2012 #tempranillo from @baron_de_ley that was just GORGEOUS! I literally had, like, 3 glasses of it 🍷🍷🍷The Rococo is from @kimberlyjonesselections and the Rioja is @drinkwildman ... This was actually the first time I have attended this event and NOT brought my own wine, but Samantha really picked some good ones this time. 🍸🍸🍸Oh and then there was a gaggle of us who moved the conversation to Nite Cap speakeasy @granadahotelandbistro for my usual Bixby Gin @lloyddistillery gibson, up, wet. GOOD NIGHT NOW! (at Mint + Craft) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2msRcwn_N-/?igshid=12ilenlinnxnk
