I love summer, but when it's over I get to see a lot more of Laura, who finally stays home on a weekend once in a while. Hanging out at her place in Chelsea, we had great thin-crust pizza from Waldy's last weekend, along with a rosé she's fond of, the 2008 Chateau Montaud Cotes de Provence. It was light pink, with a scent of pear and a minerally finish (12 percent alcohol). A great value: $11.99.And last night was another girls' night in Chelsea -- we finally went to see The September Issue (fascinating for us media types, although Anna Wintour scares the bejesus out of me) -- and a veggie-packed dinner at her apartment: shaved zucchini salad with olive oil and parmesan; tomato salad with goat cheese; veggie burgers; and corn on the cob. She opened a 2007 Mark West pinot noir (Central Coast, California); it had medium body (13.8%) and contained notes of straw, tobacco and black cherry ($9.99). A very friendly wine.
