Port Party (Red AND White)

Here are some photos I took of Tiffy's ultra-cool "infinity" candle holder.  It just looks like an aquarium with a row of candles in it until you light it... and then look at it!

Candles to infinity!  (And beyond, to quote Buzz Lightyear.)  Here I took a close-up shot of it, and you can see my camera reflected in it, as if it were sitting atop a pyramid of candles:

And this is a distance shot to show the cool shadows it casts.  Tiffy has some tall dracaenae, and their shadows look like palm trees on the ceiling.  Check it out.

That was last Saturday.  Today I met Anna Banana II, Jilly Moose, and OK Cap at a diner for breakfast, and then we went to a nearby winery for their big port celebration.  We tasted lots of wines, and the white port was AMAZING, but it was also $22 per bottle.  For $23 I got a bottle of beaujolais (is that like French for "beautiful pretty"?), a bottle of white riesling, and a bottle of their signature white wine.  We took the free tour, and I was amused to find out that apparently at a winery, red tape actually helps make things more efficient.  Don't believe me?  Check out this sign:

Afterwards we returned to the diner, since our cars were parked there (OK Cap was so kind as to drive to the winery), and we had some Packer Pie!!  Yum!  It was lemon and lime silk pie in layers, pretty AND delicious!
