Russo's Open House January 2, 2000
First party of the new year...
First party of the new millennium (the folk millennium)
a.k.a. Andrea's Wine Tasting Extravaganza
| John and Mercy atantony@aol.com |  |
| Kitchen action early in the evening, and Andrea is still smiling! |  |
| A shot across the living room... note the huge pink poinsettia, then clockwise: Mercedes, Nancy, Tony, Tom... |  |
| Tony showing something or another to Mary Kaye Koch (MK's email is mkk17@aol.com) |  |
| Tom and Doretta examine the vintage...
For the record, recall that Andrea opened a ton of great wines, including (very expensive) bottles from great French Bordeaux vintages. Naturally all of us guests were wine aficionados who appreciated the caliber of these bottles! Translated: Wow! |
 |
| Doretta@aol.com pours, Nancy tastes, ...
|
 |
| This is a demonstration of how Americans drink French
Bordeaux wine.
tnygreen@alumni.princeton.edu In this case, the spectacular wine is (in case you can't recognize the label) Chateau Margaux. As my friend in Princeton (Don Thompson) called all first growths: "a oner cru" [from the French premier cru classe] |
 |
| MaryAnn DeRosa and friend Bob share a moment...

 |
| Another portrait of John and Mercy, picture perfect (as
usual!)

| As if we hadn't had enough gorgeous Bordeaux, Andrea opened
yet another: this time Pichon Lalande
(another wow!) |
 |
| Boys night out? |  |
| End of the party, Tony's on the case!
