Lunch Time in Reno

They do it big here in Reno. I asked around and nobody just goes for sushi and gets one roll and a seaweed salad. They only eat at All You Can Eat sushi buffets. It's a place where you're encouraged to scarf down three, four.. and for the very hungry.. FIVE rolls! I didn't eat all of these rolls below, but I certainly was that annoying person taking pictures of everyone elses. Enjoy the deliciousness :)

This was my roll. It was a doozy. That's scallops on top.. mmm

This roll was like deep fried, twice. Sick. 

That's all I've got folks!

Cork Dorks - Wine Tasting!

Cork Dorks - that's what they call their Tuesday night wine tasting group at The Reserve in the GSR. It's every Tuesday from 5:30 - 6:30. For only $20, you taste 4 different wines, eat a small dinner from Charlie Palmer and receive a $10 gift card for The Reserve. This past Tuesday, we tasted Pinot Noirs from around the globe. Chhhheck it out:

Wine #1 - Lai Lai from Chili. My expert wine review: Watery and weird. They saved the worst for first.

Wine #2 - Cashburn from New Zealand. My expert wine review: Awesome.

This is the pasta and duck confit salad.. can't get over how great it was!

Wine #3 - Becker Estate from Germany. My expert wine review: It was good, much better than I thought it would be... I didn't realize there were many vineyards in Germany but the wine pourer guy told me that Decanter Magazine named a German Pinot Noir the number wine. But it wasn't this wine, this one was swill compared to that wine, apparently.

Wine #4 - Four Graces from Oregon. My expert wine review: MY FAVORITE. Possibly because it was my last wine and I was semi-drunk but this really was my favorite. HELL YES AMERICA!

The Reserve is so cool. The wines are purchased by the ounce and I've already used my $10 gift card, and then some... So much for gambling in Reno, this is where all my money has gone.

Wine tasting = my new favorite sport.

Relax-o Weekend in Reno!

Relaxoweekend was a SUCCESS! I moved over to a new resort hotel and I never left the building. It was exactly what I was looking for. What all did I do? I'm glad you asked....

I kicked Friday night off with a nice Reno Ace's baseball game! I was there to market our property, but stayed with some of the staff and enjoyed the game and a FOOTLONG corndog! I absolutely love baseball and Friday was so fun!

Watching them warm up!

On Saturday, I woke up and hit up the fitness center at the Grand Sierra Resort. This broad was my workout buddy.

I had such a great workout and then made my way down to the POOL!

THEN, I continued relaxing by making an appointment at the spa! This was not a good idea because now I'm addicted. I had a 30 minute Swedish massage and a 30 minute facial. Amazing doesn't even describe it. Ahhhhmazeballs is more like it.

Then, I went to a nice little dinner where I got a little crazy with the wine. I paid for that on Sunday but it certainly was delicious!

Halibut - perfection!

Free dessert... I think it's because the bartender felt bad for me. 

Sunday was spent nursing my hangover and ended with sushi and a fortune cookie that spoke the truth. 

Can't wait for this weekend - it's the 4th of July people! And Gregg is coming to Nashville!!! I'm a happy broad :)
