The Wine Cottage is on a Roll
A couple of weeks before the Tour of California made it's way down Clark Avenue, the Wine Cottage had a special visitor, a celebrity named Bob Roll. I don't have to explain to the cycling community who Bob Roll is but to the rest of you I will.
Bob Roll is a former professional cyclist turned commentator for OLN during the Tour de France. He is a great guy with great taste in food and wine. Scott, the owner of Main St. cycle called and asked if he could bring Bob over for lunch. He requested after hours service and no press. We were more than happy to accomodate his request and spent a quiet afternoon lunching with Bob and some of his friends. He was so impressed with the Bistro that he came back with 12 friends for dinner. Friday and Saturday nights at the Bistro are very, very busy so imagine our panic when with a full restaurant, Bob Roll walks in and wants to eat. He had to do what anyone else has to do if they want to eat at the Bistro and they didn't call for reservations, WAIT. And wait they did, over an hour. They didn't seem to mind, though, since they ordered a couple bottles of Elevation Sensation from Core wines. Dave Corey a big cycling enthusiast himself, was called in later that evening since we had sold out of all his wine and that was the wine of choice for Bob and his group. Dave was more than happy to wake up poor Fletcher, AKA the Bistro Baby, and bring down a case of wine for Bob. Bob signed a bottle for Dave and Dave reciprocated by signing a bottle for Bob.
It was an awesome evening and he said he would come back. All this being said, I hope you don't think I go on and on about just celebrities. Read through some of my blogs to see that everyone that comes in and supports us at the Bistro is special to us. I write about them all. Come in, meet me and let's talk. Maybe I'll write about you.
