to the carving station and the salads.
Being the great friends that they are,
when I return my glass of champagne is
waiting for me. Are you sure this buffet
is only $38 per person? It is incredible.
What an awesome selection and the food
never disappoints.
If you know me, it’s no secret that I
love wine – red or white, as long as it’s
dry and not sweet. In order to be my
friend, you must like wine. We have
wineries right here in Bergen County.
I’m psyched. My goal is to visit them all.
So stay tuned! Let me tell you about my
first find: Tomasello Winery at Abma’s
Farm (700 Lawins Road, Wyckoff). Dan
could not have been nicer when I called
to inquire on the telephone. He took my
reservation for my bestie and I for 2 p.m.
since it takes about 39-40 minutes for
two people to sample eight 1 oz. pours.
Of course, we chose
the $15 Riedel glass
for our tasting. We
are serious tasters!
My favorites were the
cab, merlot, pinot noir and
chardonnay. They produce
approximately 47 wines
right here in Hammonton,
N.J. Well, that was fun. I
can’t leave without a bottle
or two! The wine
prices are very reasonable.
Let’s hurry. We can make Capital
Grille (1 Garden State Plaza, Paramus)
for their lunch special, which ends at 4
p.m. I know what I’m having, and I
knew T would have the same. We both
love salmon and salad. After we give the
no butter and dairy spiel, the chef sends
our dishes out sans butter or
dairy. We are two very happy
besties. The bartender asks,
“Do you ladies want something
to drink?” I answer
with, “Have you met us?” Of
course we have a vino or two.
I can’t believe all of this is
only $20. We scratch our
heads and both laugh. Our
bar bill is always more
money than our food bill.
Thanks for having fall fun with me.
We did so many fun things. Ciao for
now. See you next time.
