Aurora Takes a Holiday!?!

Beginning July 22 – July 30, Avner and I (and the rest of the family) are going to do something unheard of for the Samuels – we are going to Europe for VACATION! Of course, it’s impossible to drag Avner away from the kitchen too long, so while we are there, we are going to check out the latest and greatest in "New French" cuisine. And since food is such an important part of the Samuels' life, we would like to share our experience of traveling through what we know best -- food. So check out our daily blog to see the world through Avner's eyes.

PLEASE NOTE: Aurora will be closed July 22 and reopen July 30 for dinner.

It is not just about the food


So we ordererd this remarkable bottle of 1989 Château Giscours Margaux. IT is rich and full bodied and actually the best bottle of wine we have had so far in our trip. What one can really appreciate about the chateau is it is rich history, which dates back to the 14th century as a dungeon. Louis XIV is also to have been a huge fan of this fruity classic


I guess now Avner and I will have to decide who gets the last glass, which is quickly going to happen, since our glasses are both sitting rather empty.
