My last note, from 4/28/2013: Not the best bottle. Mildly sherried. Nonetheless, completely drinkable and a nice match with Cuban food. Pepper still in evidence but not prominent. Have some 2010 I haven't tasted yet. Jeff's notes are...noted.

That's great, thanks. I also like Descartes in the Parisian cafe: "M. Descartes, would you like some more coffee?" Descartes says "I think not" and he disappears

My three years in Cleveland were decades ago, so no help for Georg. When we moved there in 1974 we asked people where we could find a good restaurant and the answer was usually "Cincinnati." To give you an idea, the consensus best French restauarant was called The Wagon Wheel. There were some...

Glad you liked it Jeff. The Lomo is very good. My last purchase was a mole-flavored salami. Building heat and tasty! Charles

Mike as always speaks the truth. Been there several times. Small and unassuming. Terrific pork dish.

Yes indeed, if you're headed up there.

And if you are not grease-averse, the worlds best onion rings are at " Kreme and Kone" not too far east in Chatham on Rte 28 just past the sign for the Chatham airport (or in a more sterile setting at the corner of 28 and 134 in Dennis. Lou has a point about seafood of course, and the Wellfleet...

Hi Steve, A place my wife and I like is a French Bistro called L'Alouette. It's in East Harwich right on Rte 28. Traditional food with pretty good fois gras, steak frites or moules frites, rack of lamb and seafood. The wine list is not long, but interesting and thoughtful, and reasonably...

Informal blind tasting at our house has shown that the leftover Manischewitz from the previous year is preferred to the fresh bottle opened for the current year. Less fruit, more muted is a good thing. Don't think it's a matter of vintage. Charles

King Kong liked the Empire State Building. Charles
