Hi Mark,

Are the Leoville Barton still available?

In for the 2015 Red Head and 2014 ESV. This was my first BD and am thinking this will be one of the first bottles I try. Thanks

Ended up with a mixed case. Thank you!

Hi Todd, do we pick the bottles in the Mixed Medley Sixer or is it just a random assortment?

Email sent, thanks for sharing your cellar!

Online is the number one winner, hands down, given all that's out there. Even in a LWS, people (all + millennials) fact check prices online for "new" wines, so there's that. Its just a broader canvas to bounce your opinion off of and costs nothing. I would agree with online as the key met...

A big batch of jambalaya makes for easy meal prepping. I’ve been following this recipe (this site has quite a few other handy Cajun recipes):

i only use the manual mode as it's easier for me, but I imagine the shot volume/time is a user setting.

the drip tray comes out and can easily be washed.

Makes sense, it is nice to have either option. Thanks for the info!

+1 for Peter Chang in Arlington, always delivers high quality food.

While on the top of Arlington, I also recommend these for takeout:

Boru Ramen (south Arlington - Columbia pike)
Pho 75 (courthouse - Wilson Blvd)
Sawatdee Thai (courthouse - Clarendon Blvd)
Asahi (next to Sawatdee in courthouse)

I've had multiple models over the years and it's clear they are very committed to this vertical. very solid cs and obviously buying from amazon makes it zero risk. I think I’ve used a “lite” version of this one most recently where the espresso will brew after turning it on, then continuously brew u...

Made Nashville hot chicken from this recipe using chicken thighs soaked in buttermilk! Very spot on recipe.

several breville espresso machines are $100 off on amazon FYI: https://amzn.to/3754xLx Nice find! I am still using an Aeropress (+ the Prismo filter attachment from Fellow) but this would definitely be an upgrade. I like the Aeropress enough and it turns out to be great for any travel too. I guess ...

I’ve been trying to recreate a white pesto pizza I had at a restaurant here and think I’ve finally got it (the restaurant is Rustico in Arlington, VA, sadly they switched out pesto for basil and it isn’t quite the same.) I use a base recipe and usually don’t have pecorino romano cheese, so just rico...

Wild turkey rye is pretty good, granted that I make cocktails (old fashioned) more than drinking it straight.

Thank you both for setting the record straight! I look forward to reading tasting notes from some of your shipments soon

Whoops, in that case, I have a shipment en route from VA to VA that may test the waters before anything from across the country

Not necessarily too cold, but keep in mind the large number of packages during the holiday season makes things a bit more risky. FedEx also has a warning about more heavy packages being sent right now due to covid. I’m waiting until early 2021 to ship anything to let things calm down a bit.

Hi Andrew, I am interested in the following. I am a new user on this site but I am in the DC area (in Arlington, specifically.) Are these still available? 2016 Domaine Servin Chablis Montre de Tonnerre 1er 2013 Giacomo Brezza Barolo 2014 Elio Grasso Barolo 2014 Clos Pepe Estate Pinot Noir “Vigneron ...
