A Sliver of Cyn in Europe

April 28, 2010

Planes, trains, ashes and all, I spent most of April between Rioja, Paris and Champagne. Here are some Twitter snapshots that best captured my impressions and experiences visually:


In Action!

Famous local fare: grilled lamb with vine cuttings at my favorite restaurant, Mesón Chuchi in Fuenmayor.
(Rioja, 04.06.10)


Oh! Asparagus with Homemade Mayo

I can have this every day, too.
(Bodegas Ramón Bilbao, Rioja, 04.08.10)


At the Cooperage of Rioja Alta Winery

(Rioja, 04.08.10)


Arriving in Epernay

First meeting at Pol Roger this morning!
Nonetheless, lunch with Christian Pol-Roger.

Flying Out….

As I was boarding my AF Airbus 380 back to NYC, I caught this reflection of the sky from a boarding counter
