We were told that we were closing Del Posto on Saturday evening before service. Luckily we are laid off and can apply for unemployment. I hope NY still wants Sommeliers when this is over, I would love to take my job back. - J

A friend once told me of a bar where drinks were listed on a ticker like the stock exchange; the more popular a cocktail, the more it cost. Every so often the market would "crash" and the bar would go nuts ordering drinks before the prices surged. Sounds like fun...

crushed 2017 J Sunier Morgon on Monday with Chicken Liver Pate and Burger. Agree that the style is weightier.

The fruit's like butter: Video Maybe it will convert some vodka drinkers to consider wine with dinner?

at 31, I'm on the cusp, an old millennial. I don't think I had enough money to pay bills AND drink all the great wine I wanted until relatively recently. Although, Dad's Napa wallet buster might be doomed.

Congrats to John! I wish I could purchase more of these wines. Fort Ross Seaview CS is mind-blowing.

Martin Guitars are great. They make them at a variety of price points, they have great timbre, and they are wonderful with repairs and customer service!

Outstanding!

Best coupe/ wine glass combo ever: Marie Antoinette must have had some crazy tits
