Dining in Rochester

We went out for dinner last night at Eros' biweekly wine tasting dinner. Of note for me were the riesling for the first course, a delicious Bloom riesling from Germany. The second course was a pleasant surprise with a lobster/cornbread/strawberry salsa. The company at the approx. 40 person dinner was pleasant, we sat with an architect and his wife, who recently relocated from Texas. She could not get used to our regional pronounciations of "Chili," "Charlotte," "Lima," and "Avon." They live in the top floor of a local landmark, recently converted to loft apartments. I was talking with my co-worker about his travel plans. He mentions how nice it is to come home to the known comforts of Rochester. Even though the restaurants might be better elsewhere, even though the architecture is grander, the art institutions larger, what we have here is usually good enough and actually not bad at all.
