Lucky for me, Alisa's birthday fell during the same week that the Cornell Club was hosting a wine tasting dinner featuring Ellie Krieger and wines from Banfi. We each got a signed copy of Ellie Krieger's latest cookbook and as much delicious food and drink that we could stomach from the list below.
Reception: Marinated Feta and Olive Skewers
Crudite with Herbed Goat Cheese Dip
Principessa Perlante 2007
1st Course: Crab Salad in Crisp Wonton Cups Served on a Bed of Mixed Greens
San Angelo Pinot Grigio 2007
2nd Course: Scallops with Succotash and Parsley Drizzle
Centine Rose 2006
3rd Course: Beef Tenderloin with Rosemary and Chocolate
Cum Laude 2003
4th Course: Seasonal Dessert Selections Coffee and Tea Service
Rosa Regale 2007
We had a really great time. Ellie Krieger is super pretty and nice. And Alisa was sweet enough to bring me a bottle of the Rosa Regale the next morning. Can't wait to break into it!
It really was a banner week for Alisa. A friend of her's had gotten them tickets to go see the premiere of Sex and the City. However, they did not get in line a week beforehand, so unfortunately they didn't get to see the show. The Daily News caught up with her - here's her quote (they must have misspelled her name to protect her identity, but I'm blowing up her spot here):
Alissa Hoffman had taken off work for the day to attend the premiere as a treat for her 27th birthday. "We waited in line 21/2 hours...I guess we'll go drink a Cosmo or five now," Hoffman said.
'Atta, girl! Hope you had a great birthday, Alisa!
