Peter and his piano

We spent the evening at Peter Koen’s house, out in the Woodinville area. It was fun. Peter is moving back to Austria soon, and it was great to hear his Steinway “A” and hang out a bit while he’s here.

We tried a few wines from Austria, Australia, and other places, then moved on to single malts (Lagavulin, Talisker), then some kind of vodka from Russia that can’t be named in this font, and so on. Beethoveen, Mozart, Poulenc, Rachmaninoff, and others rounded out a great evening of music and related pleasures.

Next time, Peter, our house.

    It looks like the brand of the Russian vodka is “Standart,” phonetically speaking. Interesting.

    Hmm, the official vodka of the BRM? :-)

    However it’s pronounced, it’s really smooth. Truly tasteless, odorless, no aftertaste … dangerous stuff.
