On Tuesday I had a supremely enjoyable meal at the Momofuku Ko bar. I had a sourdough crepe with caviar, the cold fried chicken, and skate curry with the most delicious rice, and I drank '16 Keller Hubacker off the list. Everything was delicious. The bar has almost all the advantages of the main re...

i bought Gonon at these prices- all sold out at this retailer.
2017 Saint-Joseph $44.99
2017 Iles Feray $29.99
to be fair, that's a DI price.
DI or DL?

in the case of this source, both i suppose. point being, it's not a proper data point for real retail pricing of gonon.

- Bartolo Mascarello 2008,

you had a very, very odd bottle here - this was superb a few months ago and quite young. aromatics were pristine.

ybarselah

from the importer so public knowledge now... Due to an administrative oversight, 2015s and maybe 2016s will not be Cote Rotie but rather VdF. They failed to file some required paperwork, which led to a long bureaucratic nightmare. They were unable to release the wine until this was all settled. awai...

ybarselah

excellent prices, these should go fast. wow.

ybarselah

it's still up for me.

ybarselah

Stas, Not sure why you are pushing so hard. I see the same recommendation on a Facebook group, another wine board and here. Sorry if I am reading too much into it, but could you please confirm that you have no connection to the winery. not only can we not have nice things here, it seems we don't ev...

ybarselah

that all makes sense - to the extent any of this makes sense, lol. what's your grinder situation?

ybarselah

darren as a current and still satisfied breville owner, i cannot imagine the sheer nirvana of upgrading to a la marzocco. wow. use it in good health. i am curious. aside from the price, what turned you away from the GS3? which is my current dream

I have been watching Guigal, as I have a few older ones coming up at auction. Once the most expensive Rhone, prices seem very soft. I keep getting pricing from various European and US merchants, and it’s clear other Rhones have caught up and surpassed them. Remember in the old days how hard they we...

my name is yaacov, not yacov. so not sure what you're seeing. Could have been Yaacov too (same name). This was only offered to someone just signing up, so if you've been a member for awhile you probably won't see it. Can't take a screen shot of it now. Sorry, but I know what I saw. okay, i'll wait ...

Am I missing something, or are you guys really saying that a $110 corkscrew is a bargain?

no, it's a "nice deal" not a "bargain"

please let me know if you need additional information.

But here's my take. TCA affects the wine. If you cannot tell that it is TCA that affects the wine, okay, you can't perceive it. But the wine is affected. You may have a different take away about the wine (it's muted, good earth and leather, slight funk I'm digging) but it's not what the wine would ...

ybarselah

yeah, seemed kind of like too good to be true maybe not.

ybarselah

If I read it correctly it affects all wines in a similar fashion -- but different people may have different levels of sensitivity. given this sentence, i don't think that's right: all haloanisoles have similar odors, but their sensory impacts in wine vary with the specific compound and wine charact...

ybarselah

given the fact that it's naturally occurring that corks aren't the sole source of TCA and there is a fairly consistent perceptible range for humans, i'm curious what the counter-argument (that it is binary) could possibly be? Imagine a glass of wine has 1 oz of poison that causes 50% of humans die ...

ybarselah

i've gotten a few things from these guys over the years. they pre-sell and then place a large order with the supplier. never had an issue.

edit: they're $110

i'd love to read this article. can someone please send it to me?

Is the pro version any more accurate when it comes to inventories? I've learned the hard way to check the store's website every time. Too many times wines have been shown on the free version of W-S that were sold out long ago. wine-searcher has nothing to do with inventories, they rely on the store...

So where do you buy these wireless tags? There’s a tiny buy button on the bottom but it doesn’t take you to a commerce page?

scroll down to the wine cellar entry on this page and it will have everything you need....

I won't order because I don't eat frozen meat. So surprised everyone here does.

have you ever been to a restaurant?

i'm sick of looking at these in my wine fridge - can someone please come pick them up. accepting all reasonable offers. email please.

some people can make reservations. find one of those people.

for the neo-neopolitan pizza style plus the added benefit of it being a proper restaurant with great wine, service, larger non-pizza dishes, etc., i think pasquale jones wins hands down. the best pizza in nyc is at lucali in carrol gardens. i'm still surprised i hold this belief as every time i go i...

i'm waiting for luminous. i've read that they save the best juice for those.
