Steve and Zoe Vist Boston and Connecticut

Steve and Zoe visited Boston this weekend. After traveling for 12 hours this past Friday, they finally were able to leave Tampa and made the flight to Boston in one piece. For a few hours there, no one really knew if they would fly out of Tampa. Apparently it was the 4th rainiest day in Tampa's recoded history (so they told me).

Anyway, after a very long delay, they made it to Boston. From there, Jessica, Steve, Zoe and I took the car to Tom and Michaels house in Sharon Connecticut. You can see updated pictures of their house in the album to the right or on their page.

Anyway, when we arrived on Saturday Tom and Michael took us into NY State for lunch and a trip to a Vineyard. We visited Millbrook Vineyards which just happened to be a carrier of Williams & Selyem label. While there we tried the following wines:
Millbrook
White
2004 Chardonnay - Millbrook
2004 Chardonnay Proprietor's Special Reserve - Millbrook

Red
2004 Grand Reserve Pinot Noir - Millbrook
2004 Cabernet Franc - Millbrook
2002 Pinot Noir - Sonoma Coast
2002 Pinot Noir - Russian River Valley

Honestly, lots of people say that the Russian River is supposed to be better than the Sonoma Coast but I think the Sonoma Coast tasted better. Maybe it was the vintage.

Anyway, we went back to Tom and Michaels where Tom made us a fantastic dinner coupled with some perfect wine choices. I'd list them here but the only one I can remember is the Opus One.

The following day we awoke to a tour of the grounds and the guest house. Then their real estate agent came by to show us all the neighbors 3 million dollar estate. Never know when you'll be in the market.

Sunday Night
We'll we had planned last week to make Chili Cheese dogs for the Super Bowl, we also planned on pairing that with some classic crappy food such as wings, mozzarella sticks and plenty of chips. We never hit the sticks but ate the rest of it. I'm not sure how we ate that food after the weekend we had but, we fit it in.

Finally, on the day that Steve and Zoe left, we went to the Science Museum to check out the Star-Wars exhibit. It was pretty cool, but much smaller than I thought it would be.

Well, Jessica is telling me this is way to long now so I better quit writing. Talk to you all later.
