pinot grigio at purple

Lately co-workers have been whirring up pina coladas at around 5pm in my office. Either that or people crack open bottles of beer. The New York folks were in our office this week and brought a parting gift of Limoncello for us to enjoy, too. Have I mentioned how much I love my job? And also — how stressed we all are lately?


Feeling festive and over-worked, my friend (and co-worker) Jager and I sauntered up to Purple on Fourth to enjoy a bottle of wine and some apps. We gossiped the night away and behaved as though we were Gael Green and Gail Simmons. It was good fun.

A helpful hint: If you're looking for an inexpensive bottle of wine and the sommelier is standing over your shoulder — be sure to run your finger down the list of wine names, not prices. Even if you are a bonne vivante on a budget, it's better not to spell it out.
