The last thing Franny's needs?I have had the pleasure -- and it was a true pleasure -- of eating at Franny's only once, and it was just 2 weeks ago, so maybe I am not entitled to say this, but from what I can tell they don't need more positive publicity. If the wine list scares a few people away, maybe I can make it in for dinner some time. (For those less likely to be easily frightened, 2010 Sta Chiara and 2005 Radikon Oslavje went really well with their pastas and pizzas.)

If only Lettie would write about how bad Ganevat and Cedric Bouchard are. (Sharon shouldn't have the burden alone on the latter.)

So, a country hick like me has eaten at Franny's 20 times more than a sophisticated NYer? Tisk-tisk.

It's long been my favorite place to eat in NY. I rarely skip it during a NY trip.

It has a great wine list, amaro selection, and cocktails. The food is fresh and delicious, don't skip things that aren't pizza. The staff is also super friendly. I've always been treated really well there.

Agree, food couldn't have been better, nor the service better.
 
But for me what galls is his trumped up sense of oppression. As if the city (and the country) weren't filled with places for him to get Industrial Unadventurous wine selections.

Down here in Appalachia we call it "the politics of resentment."

Where are you in Appalachia?

Asheville, where I used to be able to get some Louis/Dressner items. Now it looks like I gotta drive to Durham and visit the VLM. It's tough out here on the Billy Graham Freeway.
 
You're too far away from my neck to invite over, more's the pity, but I'd sure make an effort to visit Tureau, if I lived out that way.
 
yes. good call Jay. hard to know which is the dominant force in Huon's piece: insecurity or stupidity, but there is plenty of each to go around.

Wow. Huon is an equal-opportunity insulter, isn't he?

nope. stupid but in conversion doesn't count. it says it there in black and white.

he's merely a troll.

fb,
 
It reminds me all too much of the opprobrium thrown at Comrade Ellenbogen for SD's exclusion of CA wines. I'm sure that Hardy's and Lindeman's are tearing their collective hair out that they aren't on a winelist in Perth.
