news of the week

Sorry to have been MIA last week; we were in the wilds of upstate, celebrating husband John's 55th college reunion. So the list of "what's new" this week is two weeks' worth. Join us tomorrow for an in-store tasting of special wines from T. Edward . . . and if you are in the immediate neighborhood, I will be doing a wine and cheese tasting as part of the Clinton St. block party (the long block between Kane and Degraw) . . . if you can make it, look for me in the porch of Christ Church starting @ 5:00.
