I went to din­ner with Sonace tonight at the Black Tomato. I ordered what I nor­mally get there, and rec­om­mended a seafood dish to Sonace, since he’s a big seafood eater. I had a very inter­est­ing red wine with my red meat, but unfor­tu­nately I for­got the name of it. There was a slightly sweet start with an unusual fruit flavour, some­thing I didn’t rec­og­nize. The wine was burst­ing with taste and had an amaz­ing, mel­low fin­ish. I wanted to see him before I headed off to Hong Kong, to see what he’s been up to. He lost a lot of weight when he stopped play­ing foot­ball, and was sport­ing a slick pair of glasses. Now he looks like a smart guy, going for his law degree.
