In the evening, I went to the latest 2Capricieux night. It's a fun tasting event thrown by a couple of foodies in their own apartment. For 25 bucks and a bottle of wine, you get to nibble on goodies all night and drink wonderful wines chosen by their sommelier friends. It was a huge success. The theme was Japanese food. There was a looooot of good wine, so I drank a little bit of many bottles and came back home a bit tipsy.
