La Tour Wine Merchants

This evening’s special La Tour friend is Jonah. I love bringing people here for the first time!

He’d swung by the 515 project site, I was there and hungry, so we went off in search of food. It’s a slight challenge, as it was past 9 pm and most places still open was primarily greasy eats for happy drunks and we were getting indecisive and hangry.  We did sort out our food (with a special visit from Tracey, awesome!), and en route back to 515 we peeked into La Tour. Bam, two empty seats and the three people already there excitedly welcoming us in to take them.

Nicky was at the helm, Jonah did the flight, I took my usual half a glass of something white recommended by the house. Here’s a shot of one of the winner’s of the flight. I’m kinda liking how the entirety of La Tour is reflected in the bottle (if you squint just the right way).

We walked out happy for several reasons:

* Jonah loved the space.
* Our wine was good.
* Great conversation and fun times.
* Discovered 515 was a ridiculously easy walk.
* The wine warmed us up on this chilly night.
* Our cars hadn’t been locked in at the project site because, I confess, it was quite late when we wrapped up.
