laissez les bon temps rouler. What is everyone drinking for Marid Gras

Champagne for me. Went to Brennan’s Mardi Gras Jazz Brunch in Houston. 2008 Dom Perignon. Great mousse, biscuit, ginger, and apple on the nose with ripe acids. Great meal.

Damn,meant to type Mardi Gras.

I think you can edit your subject line.

Not sure I know how.

At Di Fara’s Pizza tonight.

I’d edit if I were you. Arabian demons can get very testy if they think they are being insulted and calling them fat isn’t going to win you any wishes.

We had a few beers

What did the other people drink?

That bottle of 08 Gimonnet 2008 Special Club on the left.

I was searching Becklyn and found this thread. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I just purchased 3 assorted bottles of my allocation. Hope to see you next Fat Tuesday in Brooklyn for the annual Di Fara’s offline.
