Chris and Shawn have a trendy artisan winery in their neighborhood: Enso Urban Winery and Wine Bar. It's right around the corner from the duplex, and they are members of the wine club, "The Inner Circle." That means they get benefits like discounts on purchases and invitations to special quarterly pre-release parties to taste Enso's newest wines (and they also make a commitment to buy a minimum number of bottles each quarter). This afternoon was one of those parties, and we were invited guests.
As you can see, Enso's space is a former garage which has been converted into a quirky bar and lounge. The new wines included a variety of whites and reds, so something for everyone--plus cheese and crackers to add to the festive atmosphere. Enso's motto is "We make the grapes do the commuting, so you don't have to."
We also did our laundry today, since we were running out of some necessities. I made an enchilada style "chilaquilles casserole" for dinner. It was similar to a chicken enchilada casserole I've made for years (in our family called "Betty McDonald casserole"), but vegetarian. Shawn made some great cornbread. After dinner we had a nice walk around the neighborhood.
