We're headed to the UK next month, and we're still going.

On second thought.

Hopefully, all the trip planning will not be in vain. We were departing to the UK end of March. I hope to reschedule in the fall.

My wife just told me the President will speak tonight about travel to Europe. I didn't hear it, and will wait until tonight.

I’m new here but Roger Waters is also in town that weekend, is he coming?😜 If Roger Waters is coming, I'm out . . . [snort.gif] neener [stirthepothal.gif] Mike - can you put Jill and I down as possibles at this point? We really want to make it - it's just for far out there in the future and she is ...

Delta just changed its options and my kids tickets are much less flexible than mine. I will reimburse my kids and add Delta to my ban list quite soon. 4 hour wait for a call back right now. No need to worry. Read everything. https://www.delta.com/us/en/advisories/other-alerts/coronavirus-travel-upd...

Why wouldn't you share the name of said producer? I figured you were referring to the buying slowdown that is our current economy, across the board (other than toilet paper and bottled water for some stupid reason) due to coronavirus. I'm getting some interesting emails begging for business One of ...

EMH
Sojourn
MacDonald
Maybach

Jonathan Sirot, you may want to read this if you're not aware of it > viewtopic.php?f=7&t=99512&start=50

How does one get MacDonald for under $200 a bottle ? The mailing list price for several vintages was $150. Latest vintage was $175. Much less than Schrader mailer, comparing apples to apples. Not a fair comparison. Schrader makes thousands of cases of wine each year and getting on the list is not d...

Got my first offer this week for a Gorgeous 6-pack for $1350. The $200 for shipping and tax puts a sour taste in my mouth. Love TRB but are these worth the $260 a bottle? I’d suggest Maybach and MacDonald. Both are under $200 and are far superior to Schrader. Less costly to ship. No offense to TRB,...

Clifton was nice enough to prepare the list of wines for the Fat Tuesday Di Fara's offline. There were a couple of additions after the list was made. Hopefully those folks will add to it.

Blake,

Someone is bringing this to an offline > 2012 PLOYEZ-JACQUEMART EXTRA BRUT BLANC de NOIR. Did you take any notes on this? Thoughts?

Dan

Meant to say former UA flyer that's MM'er.

I'm a former UA Million Miler. I would suggest going to the United forum on www.flyertalk.com and posting your question. You'll have to join in order to post. You'll have lots of accurate answers before the day is out.

UA forum > https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/united- ... eplus-681/

You can add Sojourn to the list.

Thanks for the note. I'll try to hold this for a while.

I miss the '08, '09, and 2010's. I wish I had bottles in my cellar. Good juice.

How'd I miss this yesterday?? The Sandler Sonoma 4 Pack for $100. 2013 Connell Vineyard Syrah 2016 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir Cuvée Marcy 2017 Madzia's Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017 Heintz Ranch Chardonnay Cuvée Ma Belle I've really enjoyed the many wines of EK over the years. I recently enjoyed the...

Yep, we'll be back at Taste WA this year! We'll be pouring a fun mix of new wines and debut our new Les Collines Vineyard Sémillon Pét Nat which we just disgorged and are really excited about. Matt, I believe your wine must have been the one that got Missy excited about Grenache as her new favorite...

Had two pours last weekend commemorating my head-in collision two years ago. I sorta lived thru it.

I've tasted the RedBreast a few months back. It's not bad.

The other styles offered taste good too. I own the 12 year old. Come east for a pour.

I read Brig's notes. I'm in.

You'll love Kelley Fox pinots.
I can bring one of you'd like.

I guess this means I have to bring something good for you too.

I finally had a minute to look at this forum > https://www.wineberserkers.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=82 Always on the prowl for new wines, and trusting posters here, I noticed the 2 wineries had the most comments. Di Costanzo and Kelley Fox . This board has turned me on to so many good/great wines ov...

We had an enjoyable time at Mendel. Nice wines too.

Thanks for the report.

I've been drinking EMH since '05. Whoever the winemaker is, they're doing a pretty good job.

I wonder how many no-name, unknown winemakers are making wine?

Not much talk about these As per email - Please mark your calendar now. We will be offering our Spring 2020 Wine Release starting January 21st! As a member of our mailing list, you have an exclusive opportunity to purchase these new wines for a limited time. Spring 2020 Release Wines 2018 Gap’s Cro...

While I do like Popeye's (my wife and I are guilty of having Popeyes and Champagne here and there), I don't really get ordering a fried chicken sandwich when there is just plain ol' fried chicken available (as opposed to somewhere like Sun of a Gun when you're not in the mood for seafood). I'd rath...

Lots of you ketchup on hot dog people also put ketchup on your eggs. GASP.

I found a few bottles at Fairway in Pelham NY (southern Westchester) at $149.99. This was sold in the traditional DP green box. I'd post a link, but this is $189 online.

If headed to Mendoza, you'll have to fly out of the local city airport, not EZE. As for EZE, be on guard at all times. The scammers, crooks, and pickpockets have everything worked out to a science. On our first day, an older couple told us how they were scammed out of their camera. As for us, savy N...

Osteria Morini in Soho. $40/btl, not sure about a bottle limit. https://osteriamorini.com/soho-nyc/

Btw, thanks for keeping this up to date! When I visited last weekend, it was very helpful!

Thanks for the kind words.

Raise your hand if you searched for the 2006 Vilmart Coeur de Cuvee.

Guilty.

Next day , for lunch , to Chinatown . The place is called Nom Wah tea parlor. You would never go in without a recommendation , it does not look appealing , more like a hole in a wall . The place is packed , the food delicious . I ate way too much . The local NYC station here in New York talked abou...

I have plenty of California red wine in my cellar. The range is 2007 - 2017. Dare I say some of them are good enough to share.

A few weeks ago, Delta had a flash sale JFK / LHR for 20,000 miles roundtrip. I just checked March 29 - April 10, and see 22,000 mile roundtrip coach tickets. That's a good redemption. From LHR, you can find cheap (?) transportation to AMS. JFK/AMS runs about 30,000 miles on the same dates. April 5 ...

I've always made a point of getting to Motorino's when I'm in NYC. Great stuff. Heard Locali in Carroll Gardens supposed to be amazing. DiFara used to be the cult classic street pie, but last I heard it had shut down.

It was a couple of day shutdown.

Looks like the Moderator deleted a post prior to yours Jay Hack.

If you are open to an eclectic option....I would try our favorite place: Gunshow (Near the Atlanta Zoo) - Farm to table meets Dim Sum.

I took clients there last January. For the equivalent of about $60, it was more like a tasting menu. Exceptional. Slightly south of downtown.

Just got back (on Saturday) from a 10 day stay in London. Here's a brief review of what we liked and disliked about where we stayed, restaurants, etc. We stayed at the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel in Kings Cross/St. Pancras. An historic hotel originally opened in 1873, closed in 1935 and reopened ...

They don't want to venture too far. As a New Yorker, this means a 20 minute walk. That translates to 1 mile. There are loads of pizza places in the area. I'm sure they'll like where ever they go. If you wanted to know some pizza places on the upper westside, I can help. it's a short ride on the sub...

Jonathan, take me off the list. Apparently, dry humour doesn't translate well to keyboards. Sorry mate!
