Who: Anyone!
What: It's a Wine Tasting at the Lux
When: Saturday Evening
Where: The Lux.
Sugarplum Fairies: PLENTY.
Notes: ANYONE is welcome. Prose or brackets. I'm just having Katherine start it off, but feel free to have your very own thread. This is a party-post of sorts. It's at the Lux and there are plenty of wines and platters of small bits of food that are meant to accentuate the flavor of the wine. Cheese, Chocolate, Fruits... etc.

The Lux isn't Katherine's first choice of social locations, but it does have the luxury of being somewhere that has been deemed as off-limits for the Salvatore brothers. She'd put the math together through the journals and from over-hearing conversations of employees and the ghosts. Such gossips. She'd already resolved to go to that Speed Dating thing, just trying to make some effort to figure out just who all was in this place and just how vulnerable some of them were.

For the moment, she's milling through the crowd, glass in hand, and keeping an eye on everyone. She's fully capable of slipping by most of them undetected. Knowing that her speed would easily put her out of anyone's line of sight if she didn't want to be seen. Tonight though, she wasn't planning on shying away from too many of them.

He turned as well, before picking it up and taking another sip. "The Bordeaux. But there is quite the collection over there."

"I've noticed you making eyes at the stack of bottles the blond brought up. I take it you plan on sampling a few more things here?"

"That is the point of a wine tasting," he said with a bit of a smirk. "And I like to know what they have to use for my own purposes later."

Jo wanting to hire you as a cook clearly had it's benefits.

"And what might those purposes be?"

"If have to make a rather impressive meal, for one," he said with a shrug. "Or if I'm just in need of a nice drink. I like having wine around."

"Having a stocked winery is always a good thing to desire."

"It can be one of life's simple pleasures."

"Shall I leave you to enjoy your wine?"

"I've found that wine can be much better with company, don't you?"

"It's true, but there's quite a lot of company to be had this evening. Are you sure you want to spend it with me?"

"I think you are the ideal form of company, Ms. Pierce."

"Then I'm glad to be just that for you."

"Good," he nodded. "And I am happy to be whatever form of company for you."

"I'm happy to return the favor," she replies with a smile, tipping her glass of wine toward him in a toast.

He raises his own glass and nods. "I'm glad to hear it."

She smiles and nods, and the two spend the rest of the evening comparing wines and conversing about the more interesting things in life.
