with wine that is!
Julie loaded up the car this morning to go make a few deliveries in St. Louis. She’ll be taking wine to Friar Tuck’s in Crestwood (314-918-9230) and at their newest location at 792 Gravois Bluffs Blvd. Also, she’ll deliver wine to the Liquor Shack at 8284 St. Charles Rock Rd. Busy day!
I had a dream about floating last night, so I thought I’d share a quick Meramec River fact I learned a couple weeks ago. Did you know that the Meramec River has more species of crawfish than anywhere else in the U.S.? I certainly didn’t! Crawdads, as my neighbors prefer to call them, shed their exoskeletons 11 times during a season and need a whole bunch (that’s the technical requirement) of calcium to help them form new exoskeletons. Apparently our aquifers impart a higher calcium level to the Meramec’s water and that’s why these little mudbugs thrive in our river. That little tidbit of info might just be useful for a Trivia Night sometime.
All this writing about crawfish has distracted me from floating and made me hungry. Oh for a Crawdad Boil….
….served with ice cold Courtois. Sigh. I better go fix lunch – hope you are all enjoying a wonderful day! Cheers!

I’m not sure, but, I think Julie may have needed a “police” escort!! LOL
You’re exactly right Katie – ice cold Courtois with a crawfish boil is as close to perfect as I can imagine. The only thing closer could possibly be some king crab legs…….
Cheers,
Natalie
Crab legs would definitely be a great combo with Courtois too! Cheers Natalie!
Get ready. We are having a Sikes Family Shrimp boil down there sometime this summer. We may even bring some Mudbugs (that’s what I prefer to call crawfish….).
