Hi all! We're heading to Tallinn this summer for the singing and dancing festival. There's a decent chance that things will be booked up, but does anyone have fine dining recs? It'll just be my wife and I, though other recs for family dining are also welcome and appreciated- my in-laws are...

Dry spicy beef with a Trinadad Sour. Psychadelic.

There will be plenty of pisco! Thanks for the restaurant heads up.

Ah, Chile. Thanks.

Hi All- My kid sister is getting married to a lovely Peruvian gent, and I've been asked to assist in sourcing some wines and beers. Are there any wines (or beers, for that matter) of note being brought into the country from Peru? I know there are some producers making real wine in some of the...

Thanks for the heads up, Mike. I'm in the neighborhood occasionally and haven't hit this spot up for lunch, yet. Once the weather gets nicer maybe I'll picnic with takeout and a brown-bagged beer from Craft Beer Cellar.

Aww, Levi got to the joke before I could submit...

Eh, he just borrowed one of Cappellano's "b"s. Anyone seen any of the Kye with significant age on it again? There was that '89 that going around NYC a few years back. Kick myself that I didn't grab a few- Vajra wasn't a producer I really knew until I came up to Boston.

I'll be returning from Oregon on a Sat/Sun redeye the day before, but if familial duties and/or jetlag aren't insurmountable, I'd love to join. Seth

Asking for a friend. Common explanation in Amsterdam, I'm sure... Anyone have any specific recommendations for Amsterdam dining? They mentioned steak, though I'm not sure if that's a desire for steakhouse or necessarily indicative of adventurousness.

Folks, I'm suffering from a bit of tech woe right now ("smart" phone nuked itself, taking out primary font of not just tel/text, but email and Fb, too). But could someone drop a line with any post-tasting plans that get made for Tuesday to seth@alchemywine.com? I've got commitments Monday...

Boston Baked Burnt Umber.

Those are my bugbears. Occasionally older Muscadet, too. And the cabbage-y thing w/ Cab Franc can cause trouble, when it's that particular vegetal mineral sharpness. Cement tanks.
