Ok not THAT Macao/澳門/Macau which would have been a bomb ass Vday surprise.
But this one was still on the island of Manhattan.
But anyways… I spent the day laying around, making videos on Social Cam… [okay fine I slept in LATE] and then getting ready for Vday
The only sort of full body shot of my outfit. I had a cute tube pink dress.
Just to warn you, these are pretty horrible pictures [flash and nonflash GAG]. I need a new phone and a new digi cam. But anyways… J booked us a table at Macao, another one of his favorite restaurants. I’m not a huge Valentine’s Day person but this was a great one.
So we started off with some… our favorite, pink bubbly!!!!!
[pink bubbles....will make MUCH more sense when I blog about J & I'd adventure in Taiwan... which is still in the process of being written up - here's pictures until then....]
Llopart Brut Cava 2009 Vintage
The brilliant 2009 Brut Reserva Rose sparkling wine was made from an intriguing blend of 60% Monastrell (Mourvedre), 20% Garnacha (Grenache) and 20% Pinot Noir, and was aged 18 months in bottle prior to being released. The fermentation was done in bottle, which is called Methode Champenoise. Fresh strawberry, cherry and blueberry-like aromas jump from the glass of this rose. It possesses impressive purity, effervescence, tiny, well-formed bubbles, good body, a slight austerity, and a dry, surprisingly intense style.
Cheers ❤
