Wow, that's incredibly close to my brother-in-law's place. We'll have to go, bringing only the [yellow tail] oeuvre and a bottle of the cheapest vodka we can find, just to see if they blog about us too.

your brother inlaw lives near by or has a restaurant near by?

Bill, Thor is waiting until a massive snowstorm is forecast to visit. At least he'll be able to walk to Bibou and get a table.

Bob is still alive?

One thing which and still always amazed me with that man is its tolerance which is cloze to zero. Well actually below zero.
If you don't drink or like what he loves, then you suck...
Anyway, as it's been said, who cares about what he thinks anyway (on this board at least).

That's not really the right way to think about it. It's an ontological question. Bob is personally connected to the Universal Hierarchy of wines, expressed on the number line of points. It's not a matter of personal preference, it's an objective fact.

So those who disagree are necessarily wrong.

Of course, he does get a little pissy about it, but I think that's the underlying reasoning. There is a single Universal Scale, and Bob is its vicar.

I don't know, wasn't his selection of wines just the thing for "bistro fare"?

I would never have described the food as 'bistro fare' to begin with.

Very good yes. Simple and fast? No.

wow. i go to this restaurant often and its tough reservation for a regular. it's a small place and when i bring more than two bottles of wine it requires a lot of rearranging to make space for them. i can't imagine how they managed with all those wines.

it is a damn good restaurant.

The food is very good. We brought about 8 bottles for 4 people and, despite the small space, they handled them very well. They kept those we weren't drinking at a station.

The service was a little rushed, especially as we were in the last seating. Otherwise, just this once, 100 points!

Huh? What I meant is that it seems that his influence is less and less obvious hence my joke. He's trying very hard (too hard?) to be as important as he used to.
Just my 2 cents!
 
I have to admit that I find this one rather funny, though wild boars are a real concern in Saint Julien en Saint Alban for my old serines. Any way, I am no sheep farmer.

Monkeys and boars here do similar agro damage...but I'm not sure which I'd rather not deal with. Not exactly predictable cuddly beasts.

I also enjoyed that rant, actually, despite being in its blast radius.

I had been thinking of Bob more in terms of an event horizon lately, but obviously I was wrong, as a stream of something slipped out.
