July 25, 2014 by Amy Langrehr

I’ve been having a hard time writing this post. It’s not a eulogy. It’s not an obituary. Fred Rasmussen has written a quite lovely one. Have you read it? Here you go.  Nelson Carey, Grand Cru wine bar owner, dies at 50. This is just a thank you. Many considered Nelson a friend, mentor and …
