Mother's little Ducker... a story about decanting the Shafer

duck shaped antique carafe

We found this decanter while browsing antiques in Gruene last weekend. #2 son has been urging me to use it. He keeps asking me "Don't you want to drink some wine?".  Like that's what I need, a little voice urging me to drink more wine...  We finally gave in and filled it with some Shafer One Point Five.

He announced "I will be the DUCKER!". I wasn't sure what he was talking about. He explained that the decanter resembled a duck, "The DUCKER is the person that pours the duck".

We used the salt plate for Porcini dusted Sea Scallops and Shiitake mushrooms.

and the Ducker did pour, until it was all gone.

cheers!
