Cristina is taking her tremendous gift for advising into a new role as a school guidance counselor. This week marks the end of an era at Quinn & Co., the spirited PR agency where I spend my workdays, with the exit of three beloved co-workers.Įach of my departing colleagues is leaving to pursue different career paths. When you work at a close-knit company of 40+ people, the departure of a colleague often feels like losing a family member. For more info about the Divine wine tasting series, visit. I’m already looking forward to VinoVersity’s fall 2008 semester. We also shared a good laugh about an older man who took a little too much delight in asking whether we were “getting enough.” Some double entendres are definitely better left unsaid. Over some Riesling and delicious tuna rolls, Cindy and I talked about the fun of drinking Champagne for no reason and pretending it's your birthday even when it's not.

Cindy and I have attended several VinoVersity tastings over the last couple of years, including one last summer featuring wines from the vineyards of Lorraine Bracco and family. Joining me for the palette-pleasing fun was my friend and fellow wine lover Cindy. This week’s VinoVersity class served up an array of the world’s white wines alongside seafood-tinged hors d’oeuvres.

I probably fall somewhere in the middle, having fancied myself as an oenophile ever since I fell in love with Australian wines during my stint as a Sydney resident six years ago. Earlier this week, that’s exactly what I enjoyed at Divine Bar’s VinoVersity.Īn ongoing series of informal wine tastings, VinoVersity is ideal for both the novice and the more experienced connoisseur. One of life’s sweetest pleasures is a glass of wine complemented by the company of a good friend.
