I remember having a 1990 Forts de Latour there for maybe $30 (foggy memory) in the late 90’s. It was priced as just a second wine back then. The food was good enough, and the cellar visit was cool too.
While the WSJ is definitely worth subscribing to, this article doesn’t really provide the kind of information that most on this board would salivate over. Pretty high-level, relatively short and no real details on the wine front.
We visited our daughter who lives in Orlando last December. We flew into Tampa just so we could go to Berns. Great experience. The decore at the place reminded me of Buca di Beppo. Food was great and the prices were low compared to Seattle. We pay $155 for a steak for two and sides. Berns price for the same thing $93. Way less.
Service top notch. Loved the desert room upstairs. We are going back again later this year in December.
