Wine Berserkers - international wine social media, online community, and discussion

We ran into a similar issue in our house in NJ. Ended up having a contractor pour a slab with three outlets on their own circuits. The pad was so we had a level floor area. Have three units side by side

Good thing I looked in my junk mail folder, latest release email ended up there

Wow, big scores all around even the base Sonoma Coast gets a 94

Looks like they are making a Sauvignon Blanc too

There is the old napkin trick. Empty the contents into another bottle or decanter. Using a cloth napkin, fold a corner to make a spoon shape, slide the napkin corner into the bottle, and try to “catch” the cork in the napkin fold. Then slowly pull it towards the neck and out of the bottle.

Good thing you were not making this all night, because you don’t have that much jam

Quality over quantity

Age over youth

My daughter and her young man and I had the 2008 Dom last night. Unfortunately it followed a 2006 Vilmart Coeur de Cuvee. The Vilmart completely blew the Dom away. My daughter has some Champagne experience, but Tae had none. Closest to Champagne he has had is a $10-20 bottle of bubbles, which he ha...

Champagne is always the answer

Any go to salad recipes people can share? Serving lamb, mashed potatoes and roasted carrots and wanted something bright and delicious. Our regular salad: Field greens and arugula Diced shallot Tomato’s cut and salted just before adding to bowl Goat cheese or blue cheese crumbles Craisins or other d...

I’m new to Last Bottle. Downloaded the app this morning and I’ve seen maybe 6 or 8 offers come and go already. Is this typical or usually just one bottle per day? Wanted to snag the 2008 champagne but it was gone by the time I could enter my address and credit card info 😯. And if you think that was...

Seems their website is down. Got my shipment, but not the mags. Tried to email Michael, but is was rejected, the domain could not be found.
Their pre-shipment email said mags won’t ship until early 2020.

Thank you, missed that.

This one or the recycled Spanish glass ones are nice

Any curmudgeons going to the zachys auction tomorrow?

Mostly free lunch if you decide not to bid

A+ experience

This makes me want to go back to school, great trip Pat

Julia Child method, cook the eggs till almost firm, then add some reserved beaten eggs at the end to the pan with the heat off.

Roasting away, keep a butter soaked cheese cloth on top till the last 45 minutes. Started at 425, dropped to 325 once in the oven.

Maybe add pasties

Have a cheese course for after dinner, pick out 3-4 that they can enjoy with those wines.

I skip the bell pepper, and use sautéd mushrooms and sausage. Will pre moisten with turkey stock

This is always a crowd pleaser, I have substituted chicken stock for the cream and still comes out very good. Always salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Pobega’d a rib steak on Friday when my delivery arrived for dinner.

Wine Text is their choice for their sales now.

Also cellar text, for higher end stuff. I stopped buying wines blind.

Buy a Durand instead

Shouldn't be long until one hits the auction circuit. I wonder what the "Hammer" will be? Well a single bottle of 2015 just went for $320 plus fees and taxes on a Zachys auction. That's a steal. Anyone flipping these wines hasn't actually tried them, or has a terrible palate. Add 24% for buyers pre...

Is this starting to ship?

I checked the other day and NY shipping next week.

Wish list in

Will keep this in mind next time we are down there

Searching through the bottom of the eurocave and found a 2012 Dry Creek Zinfandel to have tonight.

Domestic bubbles go with a Schramsberg

Maybe carpet berserkers is a better place to ask this question

Had dinner at Fascino last month, very nice

Was in Chicago last week for a conference. Met up with my nephew and had a very good meal at Gather. He picked it, since it is up the street from his apartment. Nice wine list too.

Saw a tweet from James Beard about this organization out of Naples and their Top 50 Pizzeria's in North America. Razza in NJ takes the top spot for North America. It makes for some good reading and debate. Looks like I have a lot of places I need to check out. Calling Mike P.... https://www.50toppi...

Couple years ago moved 600+ bottles from our old house to where we are now, about 6 cases at a time over several weeks. To this day I still count the number of steps into our basement, since I could not easily see over the box for the last step.

When I was 14-15, dad worked and mom had passed a few years before this, so regularly started dinners. The days of shake and bake pork chops, cook till shoe leather then serve.

Solid deal on this one

When I was traveling for work I’d always bring a binder clip to clip together curtains that left a sliver of light through.

I would use one of the pants hangers in the closet to solve this.

Caponata, heats well and can be served by itself or over other stuff
