BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE

I love the holidays more than you can imagine.  Being from California, the only thing you feel is the spirit and love.  In Shanghai, you feel the ice cold weather too.

When I complain about the weather, I get this response from locals:
"This is cold?"
"It is only going to get colder!"
"You better buy a heat blanket."

So, Santa - Please bring me warm clothes and a heat blanket this year.  I promise I was a good girl!

Until then, the second best cure to this weather is some warm food and a nice glass of red.  I am going to go for a glass of the Cliff Lede Cab Sav to warm me up.

AWESOME STREET FOOD WITH CLASSY WINE

When a person works in F&B, it is hard for them to get a night off.  Today was a special day. This is because my friends, that are constantly in their workplace around the clock, were able to take a break.  They came by the VPS showroom and we had a glass of wine with David Duckhorn.  After having a glass of wine, we grabbed another bottle of Radio-Coteau Pinot Noir and headed out to have dinner.  It was after nine and we could not find a proper sit down restaurant for dinner.  We all agreed that we should check out an area full of street food.  Oh my word, it was simply amazing.  PS, you should check out their restaurants - Madison Restaurant and GOGA.

A LITTLE READING DOESN'T HURT

I've been thinking about starting a wine book club.  You know, a group of ten girls... reading a sappy love story and over analyzing the choices the characters make throughout the novel.  Who's in?
