5:45 2004 Hunt Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Cab 9... Yum! And a glass of Bookers Kentucky Bourbon for my friend.

Definitely have to get out of Waikiki to see the "real" Hawaii.  Try to get to the island of Kauai sometime.  It's less developed and stunningly beautiful.

Popped and poured a glass on Wed. Skipped yesterday as I had a light dinner and 2 glasses of wine with the wifey.

Back to the Vilosell tonight. Very nice.

Regarding dinner last night, we went to a favorite local place called Sip. Great tapas and wine. Here's the wine by the glass if you're interested.

I had the Girard Zin by recommendation, and I picked the Grgich Hills Fume Blanc for the companion. Both were very nice.

For wines by the bottle, they offer them at a reasonable price for cash and carry, or you can drink there for an upcharge of $10 or $12. You can't byo, though. City ordinance - ugh.

I shared a bottle of Chimney Rock Cab there with a friend from work one night. Pretty reasonable, considering...

About 3 hours and 44 minutes late. An epic battle between me and Photoshop (I lost), an angry client, and terrible traffic means copious amounts of wine (or tequilla) will flow tonight. Since my lunch consisted of a few almonds and 2 tiny Twix bars (leftover Easter candy) I should be in fine shape quickly.

Yay Friday!
