spending and the 'r' word

So spring is very close, as you can see from this shot I took this morning looking out over Columbus Circle from the view at Cafe Gray. Blind tasting today was chenin blanc for whites and Italian reds from the northeast. A refosco was the standout red and an Anjou for the white. I went to Adour last night, Bar Boulud last week, and a few other places... I'm not acting like we are headed for recession.
