DanPhilips/GratefulPalate???

Now there’s a name I’ve not thought about in a long time. From back in the days when people actually bought Oz wines and
Parker was handing out huge scores for them.
I gather GratefulPalate is no longer in business. Anybody know what Dan is doing these days??

Hey Tom, after Grateful Palate went under, Dan has kept a much lower profile.

He’s currently running Petit Hameau Imports out of Napa, focusing mainly on Spanish wines.

Is he still in the bacon business?

Yup…that was exactly my next question, Michael.
Thanks for the info, Ryan. Certainly he’s at a much lower profile I’d say.
Tom

I doubt it.

I can’t find the details, but I recall he owed over $30 million to 5 or 6 different banks (if IIRC, different countries on those banks too, including the US)

This is not a joke: one product he is importing is a Spanish Syrah aged in used Pappy Van Winkle barrels. [cheers.gif]

Made my day, thanks! Hard for anyone to change their stripes, fatback or not.
