I drove to Triangle area Friday afternoon with wind gusts up to 40 mph. Had to hold onto the wheel tightly. Had a nice dinner at Vin Rouge (French bistro-type restaurant in Durham) and then visited two wine shops in Raleigh on Saturday to pick up some wine I had previously ordered and make some new selections. I have found that the chain hotels (Hilton, Radisson, Marriott) in Research Triangle Park have bargain prices on the weekend because they mostly fill the rooms with business visitors doing business in RTP on weekdays and leaving for home on the weekends. I've been hearing good things about the 2009 vintage of Beaujolais Cru so bought two Fleuries, one Cote de Brouilly and one Chiroubles. Also secured two bottles of a 2008 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits-St.-Georges "Les Vaucrains" 1er cru.
