The road home

As we headed back home, we became ensnarled in Holland tunnel traffic, in freezing temperatures, with snow falling (the first of the year), and New Jersey awaiting us. Here we make our way back from Chambers Street Wines where we had pick up some goodies - pinot noir from Alsace, nice earthy beaujolais from Cote de Brouilly, and others (including a nice port). Great store and nice people. I love the shot Nikki took below, with some color focus only on the lights ahead of us, and a nice B+W effect to the rest.

Next,a nice shot of a downtown bistro, or rather one of the few smoking lounges left in the city, down by Tribeca

Finally the entrance to the Holland Tunnel appeared ...

From there we were set.

Once in NJ, we stopped by Linden to get some Paulo Laureano Singularis portuguese red wine. Stocking up for Xmas as it's only $9.59 a bottle. Got the recommendation from my buddy in Lisbon, Vasco Ricardo, and have been grateful to him ever since, as it is a great wine at a great price.
