One of the reasons for the dinner at the JBH was the generous donation by Professor Kapon(right) to FDU. He donated his wine library consisting of more than 2,000 wine books and magazines.
A SINCERE THANKS
Professor Kapon started the wine program at Fairleigh Dickinson's International School of Hospitality Management in 1997 and teaches the 15 week credit course at the Teaneck, New Jersey campus. In 2005 he became the instructor for the wine program at the new Hudson County Community College Culinary Arts center in downtown Jersey City which is affiliated with FDU.
There was prosecco, a sauvignon blanc from Cali, an italian merlot, and a couple other whites. I, of course, didn't stray far from the prosecco and red.
Funny Story--
It's obviously a brownstone, so not ideal for entertaining with large amounts of people, but the bathroom is right in the main room just in the middle of the wall. So, after my usual 18 or so glasses of wine I went to use the bathroom. It's real small and when you walk in there is just mirrors in front of you and immediately to the right. Being in what I will call a necessary buzz, I thought I walked into a closet and did not even see the actual bathroom space to the left. I guess the angle of the light and the mirrors made the all white bathroom look like another mirror. I actually laughed at myself for 20 minutes. Me, at the James Beard House stuck in the mirrored closet, ha! If you don't laugh, that's ok bc when I told my sister she actually pissed herself.
