This is not really a wine related post but this made me chuckle and I just had to share. The floral company Epoch is not beating around the bush and wants to know how far do you want to go this Valentine's Day. They are offering clueless guys and gals four separate floral arrangements based on price and how far you want to get with your significant other.
I've never purchased flowers from Epoch but their location at 615 N State (I guess they have two locations) is fused together with a bakery succinctly called PIE. When we first went in, I was not sure what was going on - pies, flowers, both? Hmm....? We purchased a blueberry pie, took it to a friend's house and the four of us nearly polished off the whole thing - it was so unbelievably good! I know it sounds strange to have flowers and pie in one location but the pies are great so I don't ask questions. They also offer cookies, bars and ice cream. Charles is very good about giving me flowers which of course makes me happy but if he showed up with a fresh baked item from Pie and a bottle of late harvest dessert wine - well that would be a grand slam! Here's a run through of the 4 arrangements Epoch is offering.
First Base $75
Second Base $125
Third Base $200
Home Run $275
Banana Cream from PIE and a bottle of Jorge Ordonez Seleccion Especial Malaga - Grand Slam!
The pie is gorgeous, but all but the first floral arrangement leave me cold. My personal favorite florist downtown is Robert Daniels. I'd rather have a small, unusual and perfect arrangement than a huge bunch of boring roses any day.
