Varda,
How about a Ridge, Paso Robles or Camus, Cabernet? Yes, drink them, drink, tasty they are!

Bruse and all, I am going to invite all of you to a small intimate affair where I dwell in Rivendell. We will dine in the Hall of Fire...after dinner tales and lore supplied by master Bilbo Baggins. Autumn has come to the Valley of the Bruinen and we will celebrate its bounty.
Menu:
We will start with steamed Butter Clams from the Bay of Belfalas in herbed olive oil wine sauce.
Wine: Sauvignon Blanc
Bruinen Valley Lentil Soup.
Wine: Cabernet Sauvignon
Pork Tenderloin with Raisons and Hazelnuts from the Shire.
Russet Potatoes (Sam's favorites) with Roasted Garlic and Basil.
Wine: Dry Riesling
Bartlett Pear Strudel with Buckleberry Cream.
Wine: Bag End Loganberry Liqueur.
Bring your appetite and imagination.

Riv Res~ I certainly hope you are providing 'accomodations' , as I wouldn't want to deal w/ orcs or such on my way home after such a feast!!

I most certainly accept. Perhaps I shall bring a Oban Single Malt to make the after dinner singing of tales a tad easier.

I guarantee that if you do that Bruce...we shall sing the night away!!bruce rerek wrote:I most certainly accept. Perhaps I shall bring a Oban Single Malt to make the after dinner singing of tales a tad easier.

Is there any other way?
Posted: Wed Sep 28, 2005 5:50 pm
Do we have to wear that foofy hat with horns? But then again, after drinking that much wine and changing to malt it won't make a difference.
Posted: Wed Sep 28, 2005 6:01 pm
Indeed! *hic*...what hat? 
Posted: Fri Sep 30, 2005 3:40 pm
When I arrive I shall most certainly be wearing that foofy hat with the horns and singing very loudly, even before the wine. Then after eating my way through Riv's menu I shall be sleeping in a comfy corner dreaming about towers, wizards and enormous waves.
