Eva's Wine Cellar

Actually in person I'm an arrogant sarcastic bore, yet still interesting.

What is all this talk of cyanide on such a lovely morning in Paris, Cinn? The sun is shining, the Prince is back, and we're going antiques shopping! Dys can talk to the salespeople about the Ottoman Empire again.

Let's try that shop over there. It looks promising...

While you can do your shopping upstairs, I'll wait here

Walter, what a delightful cynicism... :wink:

Eva - Let's try this one...

Actually, that is one of the cafés in Paris, I really like best - and since it's not so easy to be found, you mostly get a seat there :wink:

Well, I'd like to try those shops (shops!) - and I'd also like to go with Walter to that cafe...

Osso, I didn't know you could be so ubiquitous

Well, Eva...if you insist! I wouldn't mind acquiring something faceted and sparkling, something that catches the light and scatters it in all directions.

Forget the cyanide; maybe just a spot of benzodiazepine.

Look, Cinn...here's a shop that might just fill the bill.

I'll have to try these on...

Not sure what the second one actually is, but it looks and feels like 22K gold, possibly 24K.

I like the amethyst in the Deco setting, myself.

Ooh! Those marvelous tables have given me an idea, Francis. We could really use a console table just inside the entrance back at the Wine Cellar. You know, a place to display some fresh flowers and a wine list...? Perhaps with a Venetian mirror on the wall over it? What a wonderful souvenir of our Paris trip that would be!

You guys go on ahead without me for a while. I'm going to stay here for a bit and see if I can find just the right table. They have so many to choose from, and I happen to have a measuring tape right here in my purse. I'll call Sophie back at the Wine Cellar and make sure of the size we need. It may take some time to negotiate a good price...the proprietors here seem to have them marked up higher than usual. And of course, if we do come to an agreement, I will have to make shipping arrangements. So go on ahead, okay? Francis, you lead the way......






Note: It is Spring Break, and we are leaving in the morning for a trip to Galveston, TX. It isn't Paris, but a few days at the seashore sounds absolutely lovely right now. We'll be back for Easter and I'll catch up with you all then......Love, Eva

Eva finds osso upstairs in the antique store pawing through old etchings..

"DOWN DOG!" Those old etchings are mine, and I'll scratch them myself if you dont mind!

Drypoint, no doubt...

Hi, Eva, it's "cool" here

Does anybody here know about Yellow Tail (Australia) wines? I bought two bottles of Chardonay and two bottles of Shiraz - all four bottles for $16 on sale at Longs. I read some reports on these wines on the net, but wondered if anybody had first hand experience with these wines?
