NYS had its share of duds years ago. I believe Bully Hill and Brotherhood were stand outs. Not sure what they taste like now?

Mike Reff

Seeking this producer for vintages, if anyone has any to sell.

Thanks

Mike, I can take the train up to Ttown and we head from there or you can take it down to Dobbs Ferry and we do the same. Your call.

Cool, lets do it...

I have not forgot about it, I have taken on a new client and thus I am working in the city until at least 6pm or so for the next two months.

Might have to make this a weekend event perhaps on a Sunday, otherwise someone else can take the lead.

Mike Reff

It really is a travesty, that this three tiered system is here in NY. However I do not see any relief at all, the big boys are too big and their lobbying pockets are immense.

Then again, the PA border is not that far away, hmmm

Mike Reff

Working on that now Ian..

Sure thing Mike. If it goes down at Harpers, I might attend.....seeing as I live right above.

Wednesdays do not work for me, since I have my son, any chance that you can inquire if they would do another night? Or if you know someone I can inquire.

Monday or Tuesday?

A somewhat distorted "pano" of our cellar...we are about three years into our collection. Temperature controlled, access off the kitchen, sound, TV (above door - not pictured)...an amazing place to escape the Texas heat! Red Oak wood work, granite counters & ceramic tile flooring. Our escape [cheer...

Yes, that list is quite outdated.. Time for Hammer to update a new one. It's not for me to update the Westchester list. I don't have access to the edit function. [wink.gif] It's my understanding that the person that posts an offline also suggests the restaurant. [cheers.gif] True, it has been a whi...

Harper’s in Dobbs Ferry has zero corkage on Wednesdays and a phenomenal menu.

Thanks Jorge

I went with my mother and son to Shark Valley and rode the Tram. My son, who is 10 loved it. This summer we plan on hitting the other entrance, the Coe Visitors center. Anyone know how the hiking is around that entrance?

And of course we are going in the beginning of August

Mike Reff

Yes, that list is quite outdated.. Time for Hammer to update a new one.

Mike Reff

Please PM me with some restaurant suggestions that have a non existent or very low corkage.

Thanks

Some of the greatest wines I have ever had come from an old friend of a merchant I deal with in England. He fought in the Battle of Britain, and after the War, became an engineer. After a dozen stellar bottles, I was in England and asked the merchant about him. He was ailing, but was happy to see v...

Mike Reff

I would pick you up from the train station, no problem. Let me get though the next week or so, and then I will throw out some dates.

Thanks

Mike Reff

Count me in Jay...

Possibly...

But that begs the question, who will obtain them and house them.. I do not get down to the city often. Maybe that should change.

Mike Reff

We are very fortunate. Used to be that vintages of the century happened once a century, now we get them proclaimed just about every third year by the Bordeaux trade and their wine writer and blogger lackies. The reality is that there is no way to even proclaim 'vintage of the century' However, I wo...

Yawn.. thought 2005 was the vintage of the century.. Can I go back to sleep now? We are very fortunate.

Mike Reff

Mr Rippe, you would haul it up north off the island of Manhattan? Now this gets very interesting...

Mike Reff

Yawn.. thought 2005 was the vintage of the century..

Can I go back to sleep now?

Mike Reff

I like the idea.. you and Hammer are on the same page with respect to Cali Cabs... although it has been a while since I have tasted with him and his palate might have changed.

I am also going to suggest tasting blind... so we can some fun..

Mike Reff

It has been way too long since I have organized an event. How about New York's backyard. After tax season though.. perhaps end of April, any interest?

Mike Reff

Interesting article in the NYT today..

Current release, PM if interested.

Would prefer local winos only.

Thanks

Unusually heavy traffic, according to the website...hahah

Was the offer by email or snail mail?

I actually received the email, but it was in my Junk folder..thus I realized it was not junk

Mike Reff

From Signorello's FB page Update: October 12, 2017 Today, the most important thing is that all 25 of our employees are safe. Pierre and I were finally able to access the property yesterday, and while the winery buildings themselves had essentially burned to rubble, the vineyards appeared to be in go...

I second the vote for Neal, also try and obtain Match..great Cab

Mike Reff

How about the 100 pound elephant in the room with respect to auction houses. I mean are they supposed to report the sale of these items at auction? (wink, wink) Maybe sellers will receive a 1099W (W for Wine,) for the proceeds

Mike Reff

I have found that 1970 bordeaux is very good, however I think that the 1978 vintage as far as 1970's goes is better than 1970.

Mike Reff

You mean 2002 was not the vintage of the decade?

Mike Reff

Still my only total no-brainer CA purchase. It's like paying a utility bill. Agreed. Interesting that the secondary prices are beginning to reflect the true quality of Monte Bello. I can no longer buy 1990s bottlings for <$100. Those were the days... The 2008, my son's birth year were $80.00 per...

Mike Reff

Popped and poured, really good fruit. Nice wine any other reviewers out there?

Mike Reff

OK so at first glance.. I thought I was ordering reservations at these restaurants with wine included!....hiccup!

Mike Reff

Cannot make it sorry, But Tom is a good addition

Mike Reff

Jay, I will be in attendance, probably after 2pm, Cannot go wrong with a Bordeaux...can I?

I will look and get back to you, deal?

Mike Reff

Put me down as a maybe, if that is OK...
