Argon

We saw this contraption at Metrovino Bistro. They have about seven of them. It uses argon gas to prevent open wine bottles from oxidizing. This allows the restaurant to sell any of the wines they have by the glass and not worry about wastage. The other cool thing is you can by "tastings" which is about a third of a measure of a regular glass. Great way to sample some of the more expensive wines without breaking the bank.

I also have to say that Metrovino has the best happy hour menu. The food was incredible, especially the ribs. And the cocktails weren't too shabby either.

With Nana in town Kim and I have gotten to see a few movies sans the kids. We've been very fortunate that all the movies we've gotten to see were so very good. We saw, and enjoyed immensely, "An Education", "A Single Man" and "Up in the Air". It's rare to get so many good movies back to back. I hope they keep them coming.
