Lunch, Ladies’ Style

by Farley

Rosenblum gals and KellyWhat do hard-working ladies decide to do one random Friday afternoon? Go to Old Oakland and have themselves a leisurely, well-deserved luncheon. Plus, it was the day before Kathy Rosenblum’s birthday…and what better way to celebrate with everyone’s favorite 2nd mom? We went to B Restaurant, a cute little place overlooking the farmer’s market.

Cathey and me We ordered one bottle off the menu, a Allimant Laugner Cremant D’Alsace Brut Rose with which to toast. It’s a wine I’ve had several times before and always enjoyed the light crispness. A fun and slightly different bottle of bubbles. Cheers, for sure!

Aura, Andrea, and KathyAfter that, it was all Rosenblum wines, especially Kathy’s Cuvee Viognier (so named for being the wine of choice for the birthday girl). We also had some of the Chateau la Paws Cote du Bone Blanc–a blend of Viognier, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Marsanne, and Roussanne. Both wines are extremely refreshing and full of tropical fruit flavors. The only complaint would be that it took quite a while to get them opened!

more Rosenblum gals, Susan, & StefThe food was very good, though. Despite their being out of my choice of pulled pork with skillet cornbread, I enjoyed the light preparation of halibut over corn, spinach, and tomatoes. I also got to sneak bites of Kelly’s duck confit sandwich and Shauna’s boxed chicken salad. All yummy.

Of course, as soon as I got back to the tasting room, it was all work for a busy Friday afternoon.
