These dine-around events… see, I just don’t feel like I’ve had “dinner” if I haven’t sat down. It doesn’t matter how many dozens of sweet Pacific oysters or pounds of salami toscano I stuff down my gullet.
I would like to thank the nice man from Champagne Krug who thought it was hi-larious that I wasn’t a wine writer but was at the event and then insisted that I have an entire flute, rather than the 1-oz. tasting pour, of his very fine champagne.
Why was I there? I’ll tell you the same thing I told him: A friend invited me. And when a friend invites you to a party you put on a pretty dress and show up with a smile. Why? Because you’d want them to do the same.
p.s. My mom wanted it noted: “You will have to tell everyone that I didn’t call you that I, being modern, sent you an email!”

Would you like more oysters? Four dozen more… fresh from the Puget Sound? You can sit down to eat them. Check out our contest. The person who best answers (voted on by our readers): “What would you do with 48 free oysters?” will have 4 dozen oysters arrive on their doorstep on the day of their choosing.
