It was so much fun to hang out with Kermit and glean some of his insight into the world of European wine, historic and contemporary. I can't even repeat what he had to say about Natural Wine! ;-)<br /><br />Hope you're feeling better and thanks again, man. Means a lot to know that you read my blog. :-)Do Bianchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12744434741371288465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-12025892306367562132009-11-19T10:47:53.611-05:002009-11-19T10:47:53.611-05:00What a great book.

I plan to reread it soon.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14510337660767736587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-15087502607669658022009-11-18T23:31:39.338-05:002009-11-18T23:31:39.338-05:00slaton - a mixed blessing, it would have been. i l...slaton - a mixed blessing, it would have been. i love a good negroni, and it would have felt great. but one would have felt like 6 in the morning, from past flu-drinking experience, anyway.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-23572735343591030162009-11-17T12:52:10.667-05:002009-11-17T12:52:10.667-05:00So a Negroni isn't an option, then?So a Negroni isn't an option, then?slatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620388673974831860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-6183811714341086922009-11-17T10:27:29.078-05:002009-11-17T10:27:29.078-05:00If it's still open, they sell Mcvitie's at...If it's still open, they sell Mcvitie's at Myers of Keswick in the west village, and wonderful English sausages and pies, too.Drink, Memoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040697257028147075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-12619885722699186152009-11-16T21:17:01.402-05:002009-11-16T21:17:01.402-05:00hi cliff - i saw them at Fairway, and also at my n...hi cliff - i saw them at Fairway, and also at my neighborhood fancy food store, called Blue Apron. <br /><br />hey Asher - you need to abandon saigon grill entirely, for your own mental health. it's a trick, i tell you. come back to chinatown -i'll meet you there.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-70322738999400160452009-11-16T17:35:28.352-05:002009-11-16T17:35:28.352-05:00Coincidentally, I just finished re-reading Kermit&...Coincidentally, I just finished re-reading Kermit's book. It had been about five years since my first read. It should be mandatory reading for any wine enthusiast.<br /><br />And I agree 100% on the Pho. In my current residence on the Upper West Side, I am far removed from Chinatown and I now have to take comfort in Saigon Grill, which is good, not great, but as you said, improved with the addition of that chili paste.Asherhttp://www.assetlawyer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-47287640598812563282009-11-16T15:01:38.725-05:002009-11-16T15:01:38.725-05:00Wow, McVitie's!
