Catching up on my blog: Fun Week last week.
Busy week this week with Juan Herrera visiting me from Dallas – will be getting out of the house more: But here is a bit of what happened last week:
Went to a closing art reception at the Galeria Pecaninson to see art works by Hector de Anda. Hector’s work is OK, being mixed media on wood.

As I left the art reception I ran into my friend John Siri and he me invited to a wine tasting at El Pecado de Noé (the sin of Noah), an upscale wine bar and café located in Col. Roma. Every Tuesday and Thursday at 9:00 PM, El Pecado de Noé has free wine tasting classes with light munchies that go with the wine. The wine tasting is directed by a lovely lady named Elea. Elea gives a short history of each wine before it is tasted: The evening was most informative and entertaining. I will be going every Tuesday so I can learn more about the various wines. El Pecado de Noé, Oaxaca 69, Col. Roma. So what is Noah’s sin that the bar is named after? Well after the flood waters receded, Noah made wine, got drunk and got naked: Is that a sin, to get naked?

Then Friday night it was time to run over to Gabrielle Civil’s apartment for her going away party. Sadly, Gabrielle, a Fulbright fellow, was leaving México City to go home to El Norte. Gabrielle’s works in México involved creating original art and collaborating with Mexican performance and conceptual artists. I first learned of Gabrielle in reading about her in Daniel Hernandez’ blog, Intersections. It was a great party with some lovely people and it was great to be able to say good bye.

VIVA GABRIELLE CIVIL – AND COME BACK REAL SOON.
Nice – What wines were you served?
