This wasn't a PR decision. This was done to: 1) Hide the decline of the board. 2) Have less complainers to deal with.

Great post! Btw, my visit to Jean-Paul Genet, two-years ago, was true 2-star quality...beat all of the Beaune meals. (But all restaurants have the fair, good and great days.)

http://www.lasalette-restaurant.com/ LaSalette remains my best choice for dining. Estate is second. The Girl & The Fig: Absolutely Not.

The Clos Rougeard Saumur Brz is easily one of the best; strange not to see it there. I had the 1997 a year and a half ago, and it was excellent (and still young).

Easily my favorite publication on Food, Wine & Cheese.

"That said, there is a lot of ambition on the Canadian wine scene and I've seen plenty of, shall we say, aspirational pricing..." Aspirational pricing? Not the white wines of BC, where most of the wineries are. You can't find a white priced outside the $15-$25 retail range. ------------------...

Banana Slug Pie! Matches great with 2004 Harlan Estate.

Um, President of What? And, don't you mean Secretary of Offense?

First, I pick up the lot and the 2003s aren't there; some other wine is there instead. :( Second, I agree with you Levi - the 1996 I previously had was a wine that needed to be drunk soon. However, the 1997 Brz is a wine that is still very young and has 15-20 years of life, if not more.

I'm a great fan of the 2003 Les Poyeux - well, the one bottle I've had was the best CR bottle I've had... ...and I now have 5 more of them: I was the winner of that lot of 35 bottles of Clos Rougeard (1996, 1999-2003) at Bonhams' this past Saturday. At last I feel I can drink them when I want...

I hear Iceland has some unused land and needs an economic boost.

Brad: Do you open them 7-10 days before drinking?

Levi, you are missing orange wines like these from my cellar: 2005 Movia Lunar 2004 Vodopivec Vitovska (I have 2002 as well, but saving this last bottle) 2006 Frank Cornelissen MunJebel 3 Oh, and please add me to the SF list.

Acquerello Restaurant is my pick. I've only been there once, but it was really great - the food and the wine service.

Syrah?! Nah, how about Sauvignon Blanc! When does it get its day in the Sun?
