life through my eyes: Cave Creek Wine Bar

My friend Shannon's fiance was out of town for the weekend so a few of us girls decided to get together and drive a little ways north to Cave Creek for dinner and wine. I had never met Faith before and she was hilarious all night long so I'm so glad she was able to go with us! We were at the wine bar for maybe 2 hours and shared a cheese platter with the most amazing cheeses, a mixed bruschetta platter, a delicious salad with rasperries, mangos, avocado, grilled chicken and this interesting habanero mango dressing, and lastly, a bottle of wine and a bottle of champagne! Everything was SO delicious and I'm thinking I might take my mom there in a couple weeks when she flies into town.

As we were leaving the wine bar to head to another place called Cocomo Joe's, a lady came running out after us. She asked us how old we were because she had a 27-year-old friend with her from India who she wanted to hook up with one of us! Being that Shannon just got engaged, Faith lives with her boyfriend, I am moving to OR in just a couple weeks and Jackie only dates Jewish guys, we let her know that none of us were available. However, Shannon being WAY too nice offered to go in and meet him. His name was Raj and as it turned out, they were headed to Cocomo Joe's just like we were! So, to make a long story short, the entire rest of the night became a game of trying to figure out how we could avoid Raj and his 60-year-old housemates! I can't possibly tell the story quite as funny as it was experiencing it in person, but let me just say...it was quite a night! Here's a few pics from the night:
