The Day After SPD
The morning after SPD ("St. Patrick's Day") ... Er, better make that "the afternoon" after SPD :)
Yep, after the spirited celebrations of SPD, no one was gonna be up in the morning after. It would take all their energy just to get up in the afternoon.
However, some hardy souls did get up earlier than they would have liked in order to make sure that Hogtown's SPD parade -- it's 20th annual -- went off without a hitch. It was a bright, sunny but still very cold day for the parade. There were the usual suspects taking part but, all in all, a festive, green event for all.
Subsequently, I dropped by Alice Fazooli's on Adelaide at John for an open house by Casella Wines for its Yellow Tail brand. They hosted about 50 to 60 wine conoisseurs at the chic, long bar/lounge room and showcased Yellow Tail's varietals, including merlot, shiraz, chardonnay and others. To accompany the magnificent wines, Casella/Yellow Tail sprung for a contant supply of nibbles, including chicken skewers, fish and chips, a delightful meat pie, finger sandwiches and many others. Needless to say, it was a fine way to end the weekend!
