Farewell to a teacher turned friend.

My older son invited his spanish professor to our home the other weekend for dinner. She is leaving Albright College to return to her home country of Argentina. He became good friends with her this past year, respected her as a teacher, and wanted to treat her to some hospitality before she left. He made made the meal himself; all Greek dishes oddly enough, including souvlaki sandwiches, a bean salad, and a cucumber, tomato and feta salad. He served baklava for desert, rounding out a delicios meal. We had an evening full of interesting conversation, as she has been all around the world, and she educated us all about her native country. Her gift to us was a bottle of Argentinean chardonnay from Trapiche Winery. It was different from most chardonnays that I have had in that there was no oak aging, and probably no secondary fermentation. It was crisp and fruity, very much like a Riesling. We enjoyed it very much, and I will definitely look for it next time I go wine shopping.
