Just wanted to give a positive shout out to Posner and his little wine shop in Noo Yawk. A couple of weeks ago I had him put together a mixed case of riesling for a noob. Gave him nothing more than a bottle price range and let him have a free hand. He sent four German and two Alsatians. Already gone through the Germans and must say that they were all very good to excellent. They were all also noticeably different, and that was what I was wanting…a comparison to see what style I preferred.
Never met Dan in person, but my buddy Dave Walker speaks highly of him. Jim G. is a great guy - even if he relies on duck carcasses to deter a mugging .
You paid for a case and got 6 bottles??!?!? Can’t be too nice a guy huh?
Just kidding. Dan comes off as an abrasive punk online, but in person is one of the nicest, most soft-spoken people I know. Glad to call him a friend. Oh yeah, the shop does not suck either.
Dan gets a bad rap because he speaks his mind, which is verboten over on eBoob. He’s a good guy and knows a good wine from a bad wine, which is half the battle in the wine biz.
yeah that Posner guy is alright. I even bought bordeaux futures from him, can you believe it. I shunned Zachys and gave it to Posner. (he beat their price cannot argue with that)!
