Is this starting to ship?

Mike Reff

I dont understand. What does that have to do with giving misinformation to customers? Well you are by definition complaining about corkage. I personally could care less if corkage is $25 or $40. I could see your point if you were told $10 and it was $50 or something like that. It's not just the amo...

Mike Reff

Yeah heard that they have a new chef... It might be just us two, but hey that works..

I bought a ton of it; fifths are actually drinking now, although magnums need a lot of time.

Heard you liked this wine!

Mike Reff

I just picked up Montrose, have Gazin, and Sociando Mallet. MILLESIMA, on the upper east side has Cantemerle for about $44.00

Mike Reff

So I started to sell a portfolio that is 95% French wine, bad timing?

Wine shops are commenting that due to their markup they might pass, but restaurants which seem to have a higher markup are having the opposite affect. Will see how this plays out over time.

Being sold locally for $109.00, I have read that it is one of the stars of the vintage. Considering it is a birth year wine for my son, thinking about the purchase, but would defer to the more seasoned Bordeaux tasters on the board.

We should postpone to the following week, since there is a PDH event that night.,.

Mike Reff

Lets jump into Autumn with a BYOB at the Kittle House, have not been here in years, will call that they still have no corkage on Mondays,

Monday October 21st, 2019.

Theme: Wines that do not suck!

Mike Reff

hmmm thinking this weekend, hey Peter you around?

Mike Reff

I have noticed some seepage and now I am standing it up. Level is at mid to low shoulder. So should I pop, decant and pour, or leave as is?

Thanks all

Mike Reff

Anyone know about a price?

Mike Reff

I purchased for my son, Ridge Monte Bello, and since his name is similar to Chateau Gazin, I bought a case of that.

Mike Reff

Since I have only started collecting for aging myself This seems pretty important. If you still don't know what you like or how badly you love older wine, and you haven't had some of those mentioned, it seems pretty strange to load up on something and sit around for twenty five years waiting to try...

Mike Reff

Why not put a list together as to who is bringing what? This way if some people can they can fill in what is not already purchased. Just my two cents.

Otherwise, how do we know how much to send?

Mike Reff

Allocation is live.. .I got one!

Mike Reff

Might be up for this... put me down on the waitlist

Mike - is that the kid in the avatar? Hope he's well!!!

Yes indeed, that kid is going to be 11 next month

Mike Reff

That's it.. Thanks a bunch

Mike Reff

I seem to recall a store in or around Pompano beach that was more of a club then a store with old vintages for sale, however I have forgotten the name. Any local Berserkers who can help?

I am familiar with Total wine and ABC any others around?

Thanks

Mike Reff

Will be visiting family in Del Ray Beach, anyone around the first week of August? I am in the area until August 9th.

Mike Reff

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

If anyone is going to be in Tarrytown, I can meet you and we can cab it to lessen the cost...
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...

So much wine....

Mike Reff

mine is reffmichael@gmail.com

Thanks

Mike Reff

interested as well

Mike Reff

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?

Mike Reff

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.

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

Mike Reff

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

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

Thanks
