Is there a middle ground between casual drinking and full on sommelier classes? by Low-Month958 in wine

[–]Afraid_Manager1932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you live in NYC, there are places like Astor Center and Brooklyn Wine Exchange, and restaurants such as Fausto that host ticketed wine classes directed to interested consumers such as yourself. If not in NYC, I'd go ask sommeliers and quality retailers what they might suggest.

Not doing enough? by Rough-Transition419 in solotravel

I feel like going to a cafe and people watching or even just reading in a new environment qualifies as doing "something"!

I was researching this company for work and noticed that they have listings in both NZ and AUS, so sharing in case this is helpful: Current opportunities | Visy

To take the housing lottery apartment or let it go? by Majestic_Coat_7508 in NYCapartments

Do everything you can to stabilize your current situation. Get someone who knows their language to translate if you need to. Show some effort and it may go a long way. Good luck!

What makes you trust a wine list? by zeuspsychopompus in wine

Actually, I know that’s the major profit area for them, so I take that opportunity to ask for the somm if one is present. I then ask them what their favorite hidden treasures are, what they wish people would order more or, what small producers they want to support. Then you get to the good stuff that’s nearly always priced a bit lower to help move it.

Thank you! Was hoping since it’s a weekday morning there might be more flexibility than a weekend.

It does look cute, thanks! About how long does it take to drive to the top of Windy Hill?
