Just booked first trip to SB in October. Have always been a fan of Arcadian and given the press up-thread, I thought I'd explore a visit but their website appears to be down. Anyone know if they are still operational? We booked Hotel Californian and I've made a dinner reservation at Bouchon. Debati...

Thinking about getting a 2012 Pahlmeyer “Piece de Resistance” dumped into a decanter rather soon.

Anyone a fan of the 15` Kirkland Barolo from Langhe- $20? I read a few comments from March above, but seems a couple of folks are not liking it. Ran into a winemaker friend in Costco and he raved about it and suggested I get some. I noticed he had 6 bottles in his cart. Went over to find it and dis...

Saw my first batch today at local higher end grocer - $60/lb. Seems steep from memory, but also recall previous years when folks on here mentioned finding it at their local Costco. Anyone seen it there yet this season? Price?

David Kaufman

Order in, excited to try this. Thanks Cameron!

David Kaufman

Was hoping to squeeze in a Sonoma or Willamette trip late June. Wishful thinking?

My 10+ year old blender finally crapped out. Want to get something that can easily make smoothies and occasionally pulverize nuts, etc.

Vitamix gets a ton of love but not crazy about $4-600 for a blender. Any specific alternative models to consider instead?

Tarbells/The Wine Store in Phoenix slanging half bottles of Krug Grand Cuvee for $49 plus free delivery. Had to grab a couple. Couldn’t resist and snagged 4 for myself (I think that was their limit per person). Regardless, they sold out in a few minutes. Also, not that the deal wasn’t already sweet...

Cancelled our Maui trip which was scheduled for Spring Break in mid-March. Hotel tentatively rebooked for summer break ins June, but now that feels unlikely. Thinking our best bet may be to wait until the fall

David Kaufman

Just completed a second transaction with Rob and like the first, this went flawlessly. Thanks Rob!

Recently bought this from list member without any regard for its sheer size and the fact that my cellar isn't equipped to hold many magnums. Selling for my cost.

Supposed to leave with the family for spring break in Maui on Saturday. Still planning to go, although the president’s comments today about potential domestic travel restrictions have me a bit more worried than I was yesterday.

Pulled the plug. Rescheduling to summer. Not worth the risk right now

This week and next weeks travel all cancelled - Irvine, KC, Seattle

Still planning to go to Maui next weekend though

Any trades?

We decided the take the drive up to Halekala instead because of the time commitment to Hana. Really enjoyed it. Road is twisty and curvy and you have to watch the altitude for us flat landers but it was really cool. Our kids loved it. They were 9 and 13 George George - did you do sunrise/sunset or ...

David Kaufman

it's VERY twisty and windy, so people may get car sick.. also if you can, continue driving through the backside back to town.. (so u don't go back through the windy section).. the backside is gorgeous.. altho the road gets a bit questionable. Was reading about this, but apparently the rental car co...

David Kaufman

Headed to Maui in a couple weeks with the family (kids are 6 and 8). Road to Hana is on the agenda, but curious what the can’t-miss stops are on the route. Don’t think we will keep the kids’ attention long enough to hit all the spots, so looking for a few to prioritize into the day.

Thanks

David Kaufman

Any updates for Maui? Going in a few weeks

David Kaufman

Going to Scottsdale for a few days in April. I see a couple of BYOB recommendations in this thread. Any others? Any updates? I’m from Oregon, where 99% of restaurants allow corkage. The paucity of BYOBs in Arizona is surprising. Thanks for any help, Phil Jones Not many options due to liquor laws. Y...

Ditto, Donn is a class act all the way. Just completed a flawless transaction with him

David Kaufman

Great price

David Kaufman

Agreed. Opened one last October and it turned out to be my COTY. Enjoy!

My fav deals have been krug 375; they are <70/pop all in.

Michael - where are you seeing this? Wine.com shows pricing at 99.97 thus codes are ineligible?

If you stay at the Westin, try to get a room in the North Tower as you’ll spend far too much time waiting for elevators for the South Tower.

I lucked out; got top floor in North Tower. Views for days

David Kaufman

Another satisfied buyer with David. Deal with utmost confidence.

New job will be taking me to Seattle HQ at least once per month. Having never been to SEA, looking for recommendations for dining (both solo as well as with colleagues) as well as good places for a glass of wine or whisky. Office is downtown, not far from Pike's Place, and I'll likely be staying at ...
