exactly right Neal...the envoyer price is actually a steal. that's it for me.

just looked at wine searcher....even more shocking

2016 Flaccianello..................$180! Wow.

buy a case and it's below $30 per

dont know that it's the 'best', but these are great and the price is reasonable....use them all the time

Realized I posted in the Flannery thread, but not here

steak looks nice as usual. what kind of cutting board do you have?

a roast of that size will also hold temp for an hour covered on the counter

easily a mixed case purchase for me every release.....

Something really refreshing about a dirty hoe (hoegarden with a splash of the framboise).

Vittoria was EXCELLENT and thank you for the recommendation. It was actually more closed up in Savannah than I expected, especially dinner options for takeout.

I’ve had this in my hands no less than 10 times in the past few months. Happy to sit on them.

How a glass is blown can be seen on our Corp site www.grasslglass.com

Very cool, thanks for sharing

Thank you. Looks like many of the higher end restaurants are still closed which is to be expected and probably not looking to take out fine dining.

Will check out zunzis and vinnies.

checking in on this old thread to see if anyone has recommended restaurants to check out for take out? obviously each restaurant has a different scenario given COVID, but curious if there are any updates on recent excellent spots?

How long can you store flour before it goes bad? I know I have used expired flour and not really noticed it, till moths come flying out. From a Kenji article in NYT https://www.nytimes.com/article/expiration-dates-coronavirus.html White flour is almost certainly fine to use, no matter its age. Whol...

Our Riedels now look and feel like something people suffered through in the 20th century.

It's hard to go back once you've held any of the hand-blown glassware (GGG, zalto, etc.)

Bookmarked, thank you. I appreciate the insight. I've always followed pretty regimented recipes that turn out fine, but I'd like to continue learning more about the process so I can make my own adaptations down the line.

Not exactly equivilant but I have been extremely happy with D'Artagnan's Green Circle Chicken. ordered the 6 chicken special for $120 but the shipping was over $50 so I deleted the order. Each time those stupid shipping costs keep me from completing the order. +1 This still hasn't shipped. Reached ...

gonna cross post this with Goodfellow wines, but working on the 2017 Berserker Cuvee in celebration of the 2018s shipping! This is a delicious wine. One of the CT notes mentions it is very Gevrey and I agree with that. its bright red ripe fruits, spice, vibrant, and floral. This is night two on thi...

Curious if anyone knows of a simple primer on flour types, appropriate uses for different applications etc.? I know there are plenty of books out there on the topic, but curious if there is a cheat sheet of sorts that you've used as a go to reference?

popped a rose the other day and it was great, as usual.....going back for more. i'm not sure i've shared a matthiasson wine with someone who outright disliked it.

i'm with andrew, direct heat on the grill with frequent turning....nice char, quick turnaround, hard to f up.

like John, i've been assuming i would need to sit on these. good to hear.

popped a 2017 ribbon ridge last night and it was awesome....great value, especially at $22

your note on the 17 oddero really echoes my opinion of their langhe from 15 and 16 in terms of quality. felt like those wines really over performed for the price and had staying power in case you lost one or two for a few years.

based on the chatter here, i popped a 2018 Jean-Louis Dutraive (Domaine de la Grand'Cour) Fleurie Chapelle des Bois. we were not fans of this....very fruit forward, simple.

Only relevant for a few people here but d'artagnan is now doing weekly free home delivery for certain towns in NJ.

Since I don't own a vacuum sealer, I season after cooking in one of two ways since Flannery beef always come in a cryo-pack: 1) Slice the beef while I eat, with every slice sprinkling salt and freshly ground pepper. 2) Put salt on the side of my dish. Slice beef, grind pepper, then dip slice in sal...

No knead Focaccia came out very well

Loved it, thanks hardy!

The Iles Feray is starting to creep up at retail too. Certainly not to the levels michael noted, but where it is starting to push the qpr into question.

thank you for sharing this

had a 2015 recently that was fun to drink. sure it has a long life ahead, but delicious nonetheless.

Great video by William

Drank a few glasses of a 2016 Durant PN last night - it did not suck. Will check on the rest tonight.

I'll be placing an order, but you're killing us with all of these sites!

does-not-suck is the bar we strive for!

Lol. Night two was even better. Great stuff, Marcus.

order in for a 6er of muscat

Quick note on tequila. So there was a time when I really loved tequila. Then for the past 5 years or so I jettisoned tequila for Mezcal. I think Mezcal is dollar-for-dollar the most interesting, most complex spirit out there. I usually have a few high-end sipping Mezcals in the house. Currently I'm...

agree on all of this

I bought both hardy’s and john’s offers. Great wines From both producers and I’ve met and tasted with John. My wife’s comments, after we bought about 2 cases of wine were, how can we not support that guy? Didn’t hurt that we were there on a day when he had about 10 bottles open! These are the people...

My parents are supposed to go to Australia and New Zealand in mid-March for just shy of 4 weeks.....they are very concerned. So hard to get reliable information and determine whether it is real or fear-mongering/panic. Finally convinced my parents they were insane to even be debating this and they ...

had a 13 OMV last night....man was that delicious

had the 2018 on Friday evening....didn't get a lot of time with it as we were out to dinner with a large crowd but didn't disappoint. wish it were a hair cheaper.
