I Brought My Pennnncillll...
Gimme something to write on! Or, at the very least, something to mop up this spill because - that's right - I'm heading back to school. Wine school. 
And as anyone who ever got a "What're you up to? Let's totttallly go out!" phone call following my Windows on the World classes knows - these things tend to get downright sloppy.
The siren's call of sloppiness aside, I signed up for three classes at the Cook Street Culinary School of Denver, Colorado in an effort to jumpstart my business thinkin' again (more on that...later...) and hobnob western wino-like. Come this September, I'll be all about the Burgundy, the Chateuaneuf de Pape ("Pape goes the weasel 'cause the weasel goes PAPE!"), the Champagne, the Alsace and - of course - everyone's favorite: the luscious and louche Loire.
Truth be told, this sudden burst of activity from your favorite ornery oenophilist is brought on in no small part by reading e-mails from my fellow chick, Jay, that say things like, "Today's my day off, going to Toronto for my FIRST WSET DIPLOMA CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm stoked." Given that she's not an overly exclamatory writer, this got me thinking: I need some wine time that's not self-generated.
You know what else it got me thinking? Oh David Lee. How great though wert.
