Fine Wine.

I came to Savannah for the night to get away and relax from the farm. Brandon put  me up in a nice hotel and I enjoyed scouring the town. With my mind running on all things French, I found a small french cafe where I got a shrimp and prosciutto salad. It's the best meal I have had since I've been down here! I sat at the communal table in the tiny cafe and enjoyed conversation with a couple from Portland. I then wlaked myself down the street to a little Perisian store called Paris Market. Those two stops were worth the whole trip right there! I meandered aroudn town adn stumbled upon a free country concert and partook for a bit as my taste doesn't collide with this town when music is concerned.

I went out to a new restaurant called Local 11/10 for dinner. I was so excited to eat here for it reminded me of Pumpkin with a fresh season menu. I was impmressed by the wine they had to offer and jumped all over a glass of cotes du rhone. How I miss good wine! That glass of wine could have been enough for my meal but I proceeded with a charcuterie plate. What I recieved was an intersting assortment of two pates, two sausages, two green beans and two olives. To say the least I was underwhelmed with the presentation and flavor. I gave them a second chance with the cremee brulee that remained a poor idea. So in all I was overwhelmed by the wine but underwhelmed by the food.

Today I am off to explore more and will visit the Paula Deen store!

  1. I hear you on the country music. I was in Virginia last weekend and I heard Boot Scootin' Boogy in multiple stores. It was disturbing.

    Also, I really hope that the Paula Deen store sells Paula wigs so that you can emulate her wonderful, voluminous hair style.

  2. I don't know why or how, but the French really get it when it comes to great food and wine. Glad you could enjoy some.

    I agree with Katie -- go for the "unnatural blonde but piled mile high" hair piece, and if she has them, get some hush puppies to go.
