Alex and I hadn't had a date in quite sometime... Between the wedding plans, out of town guests, work commitments and my studying for the LSAT we had neglected our outside the home couple time. Thus, yesterday I decided to opt for an impromptu wine date. I was already wearing a turquoise blue frock dress (one of my savvy finds at Saturday Mart) as it was casual Friday at the office, so I simply took down my girlish pony tail and straightened my hair, added a swarovski crystal bracelet, and Voila! I was ready to go. After a nice relaxing italian dinner, we took a brisk yet lovely evening stroll down to Friends of the Vine in Redondo Beach. For those of you who haven't been to Friends of the Vine, it is a lovely boutique wine lounge located in the picturesque Riviera Village of Redondo Beach. Owned by a husband and wife dynamic team, at Friends of the Vine you may order tastings in 2oz, 4oz, or by the glass, or you may select a wine bottle sold onsite and they will happily open it for you to drink right then and there! Alex and I shared a delectable chocolate plate sorted with a variety of truffles, dark chocolate bits, and more which I paired with a Cotes du Rhone red and Alex paired with a Cabernet-Zinfandel fusion.
We brought our lovely evening to a close by strolling back home snuggled together to shield from the chilled wind...well, more so for the sake of snuggling :P
