Steve Cuozzo still fears Lee Campbell and natural wines.

The 2004 Gorges was a wowzer wine to me, so you've just convinced me to find some of this other cuve that was just bottled. May I ask what it is called?

Instead of writing about a very small number of restaurants that have thoughtful lists of unique wines in places like Williamsburg why don't these writers investigate why it is nearly impossible to drink anything other than industrial Chardonnay, Pino Grigio, Cabernet, Merlot and Pinot Noir in 1,000s of restaurants in the U.S. (they could start with Airports!)
If they could use their investigative journalism skills and persuasion so I could get a good glass of wine in any Airport or on an Airplane I would be very happy.
Agree. And add to airports every restaurant that just lets the Kendall Jackson rep handle the wine list.
But if Mr. Cuozzo followed your advice he wouldn't be getting all this attention. And that's all he really wants, attention.

It's just the R¨¦serve - it's a white, matt paper label (the normal is gold, Gorges has the name on it). A fun game to play:
Normal ¡Ö Vaud¨¦sir
Gorges ¡Ö Les Clos (although Valmur comes to mind as well)
R¨¦serve ¡Ö Montrachet
The 2004 vintage was very kind to Michel.
So the 2005 Reserve was released before the 2004 Reserve, then? Because I bought some of the 2005 several months ago. Will keep an eye out for the 2004.

Yes, 2005 bottled in March 2011, the 2004 a year later. We had a very long discussion when tasting from the various cuves. I am now quite sure he was right and I was wrong.

Before or after blending :)

Glad I was able to try it before it became an Eater hot spot!
But I will agree with Cuozzo on the music. Although I would have loved Motown or Doo Wop.

Old school winos in the Bowery? Didn't Giuliani banish them and the squeegee men to San Francisco?

He doesn't like wine or amari, I guess.
But this snippet, well, "oodles of groveling inches" -- I think I can find a use for that!

With a neatly folded copy of the Daily Mail by his side.
There was one on the block the last time I was there. Unless he was just a new school schizophrenic.originally posted by Brad Kane:

We've been using the NY winos and squeegee men to clean the underneath of The Golden Gate Bridge but we've run out of them. Would you care to volunteer, I'll personally write you a letter of recommendation. It does pay a little above minimum wage so it's an opportunity that shouldn't be wasted.

Oh woe is me, too many good choices and values on the wine list.
Except it didn't seem like he was being ironic.
If you like Fernet Branca is the ice cream sandwich a must try?

The ice cream sandwich is divine. But don't tell anyone.

Ooh, I love ice cream sandwiches. Such a lost art. Tough to get a good one in a store in the last twenty or so years.

The texture of the ice cream and of the chocolate wafer/cookie are just perfect. Really refreshing after a long night of drinking as many of PCap's 400 wines as we could, and eating almost every item on the menu.
