Geno's Grill at UCONN

Visited the Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry on the UCONN campus and had a wonderful made even better by eating lunch at Geno's Grille. There were so many specials to choose from aside from the menu. I opted for the 4 Cheese Eggplant [$14] and my table mate had the Risotto so we shared the both. The eggplant was served as a rollatini over the best linguini while the risotto was smooth and tender and filled with succulent beef. This was accompanied by a great glass of St Supery Sauvignon Blanc [$12]. 

'rememberable tastes'

Had a glass [6oz. $14] of Mer Soleil “Silver” Chardonnay 2009 (Monterey, CA) with my Lobster Cobb Salad yesterday afternoon at j. gilberts. What a wonderful chardonnay 'for the non-Chardonnay drinker'. I am now a convert of this great wine.

blognote: Had a $15 coupon so that took care of the wine.

Hartford Stage Fund Raiser @Walter Wick Studio

Went to a faaaaaabulous fund raiser tonight. This was for the Education Section of Hartford Stage. I never knew they did so much. Saw some break-dancing Shakespeare the other year but they are seriously into helping students get involved. The site for the festivities was the Walter Wick studio on John Street.

You probably recognize the artwork which is so detailed. He has many books out there; great for the holidays.

Tallulah's did the catering and the food was great especially the shrimp. There was a wine tasting by South Side Wine & Spirit Shoppe. I tried the three whites and even bought three bottles of a sparkling Moscato [full name to be entered here when I pick them up].
