I use the Liberte for beer, particularly hazy/hoppy IPA's

Brent C l a y t o n

The Liberte is also great for beer in general, hoppy/hazy IPA's in particular. I gave one to a guy who owns a beer shop here in NYC and he loved it. Broke it within 2 months, but loved it. He then went out and found an inexpensive alternative with a similar shape to use for the bar.

Sorry I have to bail out. Moving 2/1 and a lot to do.

I finally settled down to give one a try while getting my oil changed Sunday. I was one of the first customers in an empty restaurant-no line, no hassles. I like it. I think the bun is ok, not the best but not terrible. Nice spice to the sauce which has a dry cayenne note. I still prefer the Wendy's...

Basilisco is the bomb. They now bottle three 'crus' as well, single vineyard sites with different soil types and vine age. The regular can be found at $30-40, the Cru's have two in the ~$50 range and the Storico is more in the $75-90 range. Also Luigi Maffini from Cilento. The Kleos is more an every...

It’s a long story, but Gary’s dad Sasha always was the owner. It’s his business, and when his son left it just seemed like a gradual decline. Not because they didn’t have good people, but there was definitely a ‘magic’ era under Gary.

Bump. One bottle sold.

NC is a control state. Can't ship liquor.

I'm in NYC, and I have plenty of options for you, if you can tell me how you want to skirt the law and have it shipped.

Hi,

***Updated 10/27/19***

I have ONE bottle available. $2500. Buyer arranges/pays shipping, assumes risk etc. or NYC/Metro handoff in person.

We had a great dinner at Nice Matin last week. Always no corkage on Monday, and they have a great table for 8-10 that works for wine dinners. We had 2 courses and split some desserts and the food and tax was only like $60pp. We left a big tip.

Blanton's currently retails in NYC for $100-130 on the reg. Another one I will source if I feel the need.

High West Midwinter Nights Dram is ~$100 retail in NYC. I don't recall it being that good. [shrug.gif] I would rather work with undesirables from TX who can still buy various Weller bottlings off the shelf for under $40 and have them ship. That said, I have a decent strategic reserve holding so I re...

Richard, I'd say you're about 5 years behind the curve. The hazy style has been around for at least a decade and has been really hot the last 5 years or so. It's been really big in the northeast but has spread all over the country. I am not a big Tired Hands fan and I think their sours and farmhouse...

Can someone explain the background/relevancy of "Todd?"

I store my wine there as does Mikhail L. (The Count). I live less than 10min away so easy in/out for me. Of course they offer full services for intake and pickup/delivery in NYC. They're not the cheapest in the area but you will not be disappointed. Note: This is not a 'shop', it's the storage/logis...

Victor,

You don't have an avocado tree in your rooftop garden?

David,

You know better, but what I've had has been pretty meh, both from Richter and other producers.

Brent C l a y t o n

Well, if this *is* the thread, how about an update for confirmed venue, date and time?

Brent C l a y t o n

2016 is a meh vintage. *I work for one of their distributors and sell the wine* but that said even before I worked for the distributor I always considered them one of the best values in the Mosel and the 2018's are impressive.

The organized chaos is not as fun as it used to be. Fewer people and more focused themes tend to be more enjoyable.

Let’s face it, for certain individuals/groups it’s also about being with the ‘right’ people and the ‘right’ bottles.

I just checked the Blue Jays Schedule--The Indians are in town Fri-Sun and the Red Sox follow Mon-Wed! Looks like I'll be planning my stay into the following week.

It's a polarizing wine, which does seem strange considering its provenance. I've never been a fan. I've had several 90's vintages and 2001, though all when they were quite young.

I agree. Robert Kacher would be a better bet for him as an importer to check out. Wrongo Dongo. Bobby is retired, and the 'Robert Kacher' portfolio as you know it is essentially gone.

What Hardy said.

Can you do some sort of handshake/wink-nod deal with the venue to just pour the wine if you ship it in privately?

Brent C l a y t o n

If regular shipping is $40-50 anyway, and you live in a place like south Florida which is not good for shipping year round, the upcharge, particularly for a high ticket wine like Spottswoode, sounds well worth it. Not when the final leg is on a truck without refer. I negates the whole process if th...

I don't know why more wineries don't utilize them... shipping door to door $70/case. If regular shipping is $40-50 anyway, and you live in a place like south Florida which is not good for shipping year round, the upcharge, particularly for a high ticket wine like Spottswoode, sounds well worth it.
