John's Birthday

Last night was John's quarter century birthday.  He is finally 25 can now enjoy the perks such as a deduction on car insurance, no longer being able to check the 21-24 box on surveys, and telling people he is in his early 20's.  However he didn't seem to be as worried about being on the closer side to 30 as I was.  We already had our blowout birthday bash last Friday so we thought we would have a low key night and just enjoy the day.

We decided to celebrating this special day in the only way we know how, eating and drinking.  In all seriousness though we had a wonderful dinner at one of our favorite restaurants in Houston, Paulie's. Paulie's is an Italian restaurant with great pasta, wine, and excellent coffee.  We were looking for something more casual so Paulie's was the perfect place.  The food and service were great but the best part was the wine.

We had a bottle of Opera 2 Lambrusco di Modena.  We have been looking for a good Lambrusco and I am glad that we finally found one to satisfy our craving for something refreshing for summer but not to sweet.  Lambrusco has become our new go to summer wine.  If you are looking for a refreshing drink to serve at your next summer party or are just planning a relaxing night at home after a hot Houston day, I would reach for a bottle of Lambrusco and enjoy.  

For everyone else that has an upcoming birthday in Houston and is looking for a place to go I suggest you head over to Paulie's for some good pasta and a great glass (or bottle) of what could be your new favorite wine.
