Knowing that we had a big night planned, we spent most of Tuesday day putzing around the apartment and being online. However, we did decide to use another one of our Honeyfund gifts (a bottle of Argentina's finest wine – thank you Michelle!) and wandered down to one of BA's finest wine shops, Grand Cru. This place was impeccable with a fancy tasting lounge, and the wine collection was extensive. We specifically wanted a Malbac, and the sommelier guided us to a bottle of that is only available at the winery or exclusive shops. We will be holding on to the bottle until we're ready for a fine streak dinner.
After a few phone calls home, we got ready for a pre-drink at our new favorite Italian pizzeria, Piola, where we ran into our new friend Esteban and our bartender, and met Esteban's friend Pepe who is a tango instructor. We had a great chat with both of them before we took off for our final destination, Bahrein, for a weekly d&b party featuring one of Robert's favorite DJs. And yes, it was 1am when we arrived on a Tuesday, and that was considered EARLY!
