Since we're celebrating.
• The first time i enjoyed red wine: at dinner with a Spanish houseguest and her parents, who didn't speak a word of English. Houseguest and I were also stoned. Super fun night ensued.
• The perfectly made, ice cold dirty martini I had at Cité after an all-day work conference. It went down like Fresca and remains the yardstick for every DM i've had since.
• My 40th birthday party beverage: Sucka Punch. I have no idea what was in it but it was delicious. Fantastic day.
• Champagne on the Met roof deck and then drunk at the Ivan Albright exhibit. Like being in the museum at night wasn't exciting enough.
• My first Bloody Mary, enjoyed with good friends during a post-ski trip layover at the Denver airport. A love affair is born: This is the only drink i really miss. *sniff*
• Getting served banana daiquiris at the South Street Seaport when i was in high school. Gag. Yet thrillingly illicit.
• Cotes du Rhone on a particularly good date at Lucky Strike; Sancerre and early evening on Fire Island.
• Spending so much time at the Cowgirl Hall of Fame after I'd first moved to NYC that I'd get served a vodka tonic without asking. I got phone calls there twice.
