FLAMING TORCH DINNER CLUB POEM

Fleur De Lis,quadryptish from: Zohreh Khaleghi

In Flaming Torch Dinner Club 

Ashleigh stayed course

The first course was Huitres Grillees

Came down with Avissi Prossecco

Sparkling all the way to down the hatch

And reminding Ovissi,The Persian Painter

Although Zohreh's art dazzling on the wall

Bodies are appreciative of good foods

And minds in love with nature.

In second course of Cresson Noyer

With Napa Cellars Sauvignon Blanc

I clicked on the wine glass and took a note

Remy thought I am writing another thesis on the menue.

Some came early,some came late and some ran deep

So oysters appeared 

And Chambored seared duck breast

With Folie a deux Pinot Noir

By this time Javier was Gipsy King of the show

In Guantanamero

While PBS crew were happily at hand.

Napa Cellars Chardonnay went well 

with Sebaste de Crabe Aux Herbes

And in the fifth course

Framboise Poire Pochee

Accompanied Terra d'oro Port Zinfendel

from Amadore Co. of Sacremento's sugar plum

To end the night

Reminding of faraway villages of Iran

Not to mention Potugal or Brazil.

By this time we were discussing Wines of Shiraz and Sirah

And even the word NAPA,meaning no foot to smash grapes

As a Persian word .

Also comparing wine as fermented liquor

with spirits as distilled Eau de Vie

The good thing in Dinner club is you don't say hello or good bye

And go straight to the bar

Where fiberoptic tree is playing color in light

While Zohreh and Hassan smile.

The next good thing is sitting with lovely friends like

Simin and Morteza a k a Momi

Brenda and Pat who came back all the way from Houston,Texas

Ashleigh,Who I saw her last in the movie: Gone With The Wind

Tom who believes the best Pizza in town is

Dominica Pizza in Roosewelt Hotel

And last but not least:Said.

Someone said:We miss Shiva June.

Michelle(with French accent) did a great job as chef

And so did the staff,

Amy,Remy,Richard,James,Tofo and Co.

Always present and always pleasant .
