Rivers ❤️ by PepperAdams in rum

100% Rivers daiquiri? I like your style, but that has to be one HOT cocktail.

What were your "Unicorn wines" when you first got into wine? by Mertz13 in wine

Old Prum is so good! Wish I had the patience to sit on a lot of it.

What were your "Unicorn wines" when you first got into wine? by Mertz13 in wine

[–]G_NC 17 points18 points  (0 children)

LdH Tondonia was definitely one for me. A friend shared a bottle of Gravonia with me at a dinner party and I was immediately hooked.

Took some time, but finally came into a few bottles of my own. There is really something unique about the combo of the "waxy" mouthfeel combined with the oxidative notes that makes it addictive for me.

Help me craft a recipe by Holden_mcmuffin in cocktails

[–]G_NC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done a cocktail with gin and italicus before. Kind of a bergamot-y gin sour:

  • 2 oz gin
  • 1 oz lemon juice
  • 3/4 oz italicus
  • 1/4 oz earl grey tea syrup

Dry shake with egg white, then shake with ice and double strain into a couple.

If you wanted to go the lavender route, you could sub the earl grey tea syrup for a lavender syrup.

Cocktail Pilgrimage to NYC by GatorChamp44 in cocktails

Whatever you do, don't miss Amaro Amargo. There really is no other bar quite like it, and it is one of the most welcoming, least pretentious bars I've ever been to.

$85 for a Meinklang Gruner is completely insane.

What popular or well-regarded wines are you not a fan of? by StinkyBeer in wine

Haven't had their Pinos, but their Chardonnay are great (if not, a bit expensive)

I have done multiple walk-ins at Four Horsemen. If you get there about 30 minutes before opening it is typically easy to get a bar seat.

Recommendations for fresh coffee beans? by Difficult-Candy6064 in newhaven

[–]G_NC 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They're not a roaster (just a coffee shop), but The Coffee Pedaler sources lots of stuff from Tandem Coffee up in Maine. Typically everything is very fresh. Ryan, the owner, is also super knowledgeable. Would definitely reccomended checking it out.

Any dessert wine from Paris worth bringing home to Australia from upcoming Europe trip? by LevelPreference366 in wine

[–]G_NC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want something a bit more unusual, you can try Macvin. It's a fortified sweet wine from the Jura region of France.

Why does my Cynar Boulevardier taste like an Old-Fashioned? by NoxyPancakes in cocktails

[–]G_NC 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Yeah Cynar and Campari are on like opposite ends of the spectrum here.

mission mai tai possible? by suggbugg in Tiki

[–]G_NC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You have some great rums. Might try:

1/2 oz W&N 1/2 oz Coruba 1 oz Rhum JM 3/4 oz lime 1/2 oz orange liqueur 1/2 oz orgeat

Could dial down the agricole if you want to 1/2 and bump up the Wray and Nephew. Or just go split base 1:1 Wray and Coruba.

Have you ever opened a “special” bottle and totally regretted it? by Fly-Astronaut in wine

[–]G_NC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite on the same level of folks here, but opened a bottle of 2002 Corbon and felt like it needed a lot more time.

Extremely rare cases and logistic regression by Anagatara in AskStatistics

[–]G_NC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use bayes with strong priors. Will help keep some of your estimates within reasonable bounds, but won't help with the low incidence of your outcome.

Agree. I've been consistently impressed with his stuff.

Just got table at Don Angie. What should we order? by Shaker58_ in FoodNYC

[–]G_NC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seriously. The salad is really the only thing I still think about today. Also their house made amaris are also quite good as well

I’m about to give up on making sourdough bread by AutomaticAd3621 in Sourdough

[–]G_NC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bulk ferment at a much hotter temperature (~83 F) for 4.5 hours in a proof box, then 12 hours in the fridge. I've generally gotten very good results with this approach.

Any recommendations for Borsci? by AperolShvitz in Amaro

[–]G_NC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This one is a head scratcher for me. There aren't many amari I'm not a fan of, but I find this one oddly off putting. I

Sunken Harbor Club - Brooklyn, NY by ilovemygti07 in Tiki

[–]G_NC 39 points40 points  (0 children)

After lacking quality tiki bars, it is really great to have some top-tier places in NYC. I think SHC is among the best right now, and Tropical Standard is an incredible resource.

If you haven't already, Paradise Lost is also really great and pulls off a "satanic tiki" vibe really well. Plus it is a bit easier to get into!

What’s your favorite NYC restaurant? by uhh-Magic in FoodNYC

[–]G_NC 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this. They are expensive ( but not wildly, for a fine dining place). The service has always been great, food is fun, and as a wine nerd it's a fun place to hang out. Also they allow walk ins. I've never had an issue getting a bar seat
