For the Solo Diner

September 30, 2016

Good Morning! I am sending this now, as I'll be heading to Maine in a couple of hours with some of the fabulous women in the Indie Wineries team. We'll be visiting our producer up there - Brian Smith of Oyster River, so be sure to ask me about cider options next week! 

While I've been out and about this week, I've noticed a lot of solo diners (something maybe to do with those fall reflections). But it's New York, and this is standard of course. And then one of my accounts started speaking about his "just me" clientele that come through his shop...as in "It's just me tonight." As I'm sure many of you feel, dining solo - whether at home or out - often allows for more time to focus on what you're consuming. Sometimes we want something a little different, a little note of interest, something to carry with us when we return to momentum of the streets. I think these wines offer great companionship for all of our "just me's."

Mother's Day 2016

This is my mother at 16, on the cover of The Dover Ballet Theatre program. The director had yelled at her just before the shot was taken. "Someone was always yelled at or hit in every class," she told me recently.

In honor of Mother's Day and inspired by a recent piece/assignment in The Guardian, I'm working on a collective storytelling project. To participate, please send me pics & stories of your mother - a few lines, a poem, a description of the scene would be great. I'll post them here, at Pallet Loire.
