We Now Interrupt This (Burgundy Updating) Blog To Bring You The Weather Report...

So today we had planned a big Burgundy tasting in our store, since we just got back from there and all. We had like ten different Burgundies from some of our favorite producers, and three different French cheeses, thankfully we left the Epoisses off the list this time!

We had planned to have importer and French expert himself, Mr. Olivier come in and pour five wines while my boss poured another five. Then reality hit... I swear, it's not the recession that's killing wine retail shops; it's the weather!

The snow started around 9 ish this morning, and didn't let up! It's STILL snowing! After a somewhat scary drive into work, complete with Baby's First Spin-Out (awwww), we decided to let Olivier off the hook and NOT force him to drive in the crap-tastic snow. And then a coworker couldn't get out of his driveway, which really just made me love today even more!
This is a view of the sign at 11 a.m. Normally it proudly proclaims "Wine Store Open".




This is my coworker getting the wines ready for tasting. Normally he doesn't look this surly.








I think we made it through, as best we could, but the REAL highlight of this post? I got to go home at 6, AND brought home the spoils of war (the leftovers)!!

Hooray snow day! Sort of... Snow hour?
