Boy what a grand surprise this was to have my name called out and to walk up to the front counter and to focus-in as I saw Tatiana Maria my old friend and wine-colleague there standing in front of me! I gave here a big hug and did not want to let go I was so happy to see here after sixteen or more months. I have missed you Tatiana. I am happy for you and your recent developments. You look so happy and healthy and even younger than before : you radiate and that smile and those eyes of your never cease to dazzle and burn themselves deeply into every fiber of my being, so much so that I am floored and rendered almost speechless! Not quite, but close ...
It was great that you could stop by. Thanks for inviting me to lunch and for introducing me to Nicolas your fiancee and a very lucky man indeed. I told him myself!
It was a beautiful day and we had so much to try in squeeze into a small period of time but I thoroughly enjoyed our reunion visit together and meeting Nicolas and speaking French with him, too.
Pictured here in the Siam restaurant across and down the street from Cleveland Park Wines & Spirits ( 3423 Connecticut Avenue N.W. Washington D.C. 20008, Tel:202-363-4265 sales@clevelandparkwine.com, www.clevelandparkwine.com also on Facebook at : clevelandparkwines&spirits ) are some of the quick portrait sketches that I did of you both and then gave to you as souvenirs and my thanks for such a wonderful, serendipitous SURPRISE meeting again! I LOVED IT, really I did and hope to see you both again really soon.
Say : hello " to Stanna, Jewel, Jasmine , your brother Adam (? ) and the rest of the gang and Happy Thanksgiving to you all as well. Let's get together and drink some great wine before you leave? Call me before you do leave.
Talk to you and hope to see you again really soon, cheers, your friend always, TONY
We'll talk about our old days of wine business again soon- about Billington Imports and Arturo Cousino of COUSINO-MACUL that you brought to the store and so much more like the MAULER Swiss bubbly ( from Gemmex Imports / Selections you were the Vice President weren't you?!? ) that you sold me boat-loads of ... what wonderful times, what wonderful memories : so much there to still grow on and continue into the future ...
