The big New Year’s Eve party; I have never been a fan. I think the holiday is for amateurs; people who need an excuse to act crazy and kiss random people, and don’t even get me started on this idea that life drastically changes at midnight. My list of New Year’s gripes could go on forever; long lines for the leu, cheap champagne, bad service, and really bad food.
Now, the New Year’s house party I quite like; an excuse to wear the little black dress, no gifts to exchange, and it’s perfectly acceptable to wear a feathered party hat. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed New Year’s Eve as a way to celebrate the end the holiday season and get back to real life. So, as we jump into 2010, Just Bring Wine has joined forces with a fellow foodie to bring more people good food, and of course, enjoy more good wine. A different location, a different guest list, the same philosophy. I guess you could say, we’ve gone Against The Grain. www.againstthegrainco.com
