08-13-10. 1st trip to the enoteca @ Goose.

I went to the new enoteca in the basement at Goose the Market for the first time today. They have all kinds of interesting stuff to try.  I had a bottle of Xingu black beer from Brazil, Marcona almonds from Spain, and assorted olives. The Xingu really was pitch black, but the flavor and texture was very light. The Marcona almonds were very sweet and tasty. I look forward to going again to try out some of the other things they have, including some other beers, wines, cheeses, and meats.

"Rubber Duck", 2007, 105x85 feet. By Florentijn Hofman.

I'm usually not a big fan of sculptures that are just giant versions of things. (I mean by professionals, not vernacular World's Biggest X!-type sculptures. The amateur stuff is usually awesome.) It's really hard to hate a giant rubber duckie, though. It's probably kind of like Jeff Koons' "Puppy". The "Aww, so cute!" factor obliterates all rational thought. This piece was part of the Loire Estuary 2007 exhibition.
