Restaurant August in New Orleans

Anyway, I haven't tried it yet. By the end of the trip a half bottle of 8% Spatlese split between the two of us seemed about right.

Didn't make it to Antoines or a bunch of other places that were recommended as we only had 4 days and lost the first half day due to a sick pilot.

Full travel notes are here:

Despite the flight problems and all the rain we had a great time.

We're already planning a return trip in a year or two.

Looks like you didn't get to Preservation Hall. That was my favorite thing in NO.

Yeah, yeah, but I've had several 2012s showing very tight over the last few months, especially Spatlese for whatever reason. 2011s have been wide open. The 2012 JJ Prum needed 30-60 minutes of air to start opening up.

Note to self: get to restaurant early in case they switch vintages on you. Also makes for a great excuse for returning to work late from lunch.

As Michael so rightly points out, it might take you three hours to drive from your favorite Muscadet estate to your favorite Vouvray producer, not to speak of Sancerre.

Not if you take my favourite scenic road.

otoh, (my) 11 Lauers have been showing tight but the 12s wide open since arrival in September.

(the half bottle of 2011 JJ Prum WS Spatlese turned out to be a 2012)

hate when that happens!
I once had a 79 hermitage turn out to be a 78, so I can sympathize

Yeah I suffered through ordering a Grunhaus Abtsberg spatlese 1995 at Tabla only to have them swap it out for an '83.

Pissed me off so much I had to go back a couple of months later and order it again.

Let's start with how he spells his last name....

That's hardly narrative.

Tell that to St. Paul.

Seriously?

Literally.

Cryptic much?

She must be referring to the other St. Paul, the famous structuralist narratologist.
