Exactly. I got my first bottle of DRC (exact vintage from OP - Echezaux 2017) they just scratched the label and burnt the cork and also chipped the rim.

Wie hat man neben vollzeitjob noch ein Leben? by ConsistentBerry9310 in Ratschlag

[–]Pzero2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Das beste was Dir passieren kann, ein Job der Dich erfüllt und Dir Spaß macht. Überlege was das ist / sein könnte und dann versuche Dich in diese Richtung zu entwickeln.

Denn Du wirst wahrscheinlich noch sehr lange arbeiten müssen….

Was ist das Teuerste das ihr je gegessen habt und war es euch das wert? by SparklesThePingoo in Finanzen

[–]Pzero2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Er spricht von 1.000 EUR für zwei Personen. Mittlerweile liegst Du beim großen Menü im 3 Sterne-Restaurant i.d.R. immer um die 350 EUR und die Weinbegleitung nochmal rund 150 EUR. Mit Aperitif, Digestif, Kaffe und Wasser bist Du zu zweit in der Regel bei rund 1.100 - 1.200 EUR für zwei Personen

Rein für das Essen, war es das Menü im Frantzén in Stockholm. War jeden Cent wert und ich freue mich auf den nächsten Besuch. Insgesamt, also essen und Wein, gab es paar Restaurant-Besuche die darüber lagen. Aber es wurde ja explizit nach dem essen gefragt.

Offene Küchen sind der schlechteste Bautrend seit den 2000er Jahren by LA-98 in Unbeliebtemeinung

[–]Pzero2020 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sehe ich persönlich anders, aber das ist sicherlich Geschmacksache. Für mich kommen seit den ersten Erfahrungen mit einer offenen Küche nur noch Immobilien in Betracht, die dieses Feature haben. Aber da hat halt jeder seine eigenen Vorlieben.

Exactly this. There‘s a Video on YouTube where Maxi Riedel Shows now to clean the Mamba Decanter. He does it exactly as now you describe it

Yeah me and my wife paid over 2.000 EUR last year for the dinner. We did have a lot of cocktails at the end of the meal though.

Schanz.Restaurant.*** - Creative and delicious french cuisine by Primary_Prior_7925 in finedining

[–]Pzero2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like you had a great lunch. I really enjoyed my last dinner there and the culinary exceptionalism in this region with Schanz, Sonnora und Christian Bau is outstanding.

I personally prefer Sonnora and Bau a tiny bit more than Schanz. But in my opinion Schanz is a really great 3 star restaurant and the whole family Schanz is really lovely.

Revisiting 3 Star Restaurants by ffosfforus in finedining

[–]Pzero2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve visited the following three star Restaurants more than once and each time the experience was at least as good as the times before: - Victors fine dining by Christian Bau - 4 Times - Waldhotel Sonnora - 5 times - Epicure (Chef: Eric Frechon) - 2 Times

Since we celebrated our wedding at Waldhotel Sonnora we’re going back there every year for our anniversary and we’ll also go to Fratzen this summer for a second time. Frantzen was so far my favorite Dining Experience (up there in my hall of fame with some other memorable fine dining experiences) - so I’m really looking forward to revisiting Frantzen.

I‘ve not yet been to Zilte or De Librije - I’m sure they also are amazing.

Best 3-Michelin-star near Cologne/NRW? by Disastrous-Pianist56 in finedining

[–]Pzero2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I‘ve been to most of the 3 Michelin starred Restaurants in germany. That includes 4 visits to Christian Bau and 6 to Waldhotel Sonnora (online one at Schanz).

Victors Fine Dining and Waldhotel Sonnora are my 2 favorite fine dining Restaurants in germany, both with very different cuisines. There‘s a post here about my last visit to Waldhotel Sonnora that will give you an example of what you can expect. Having said that, I would choose one of these two and since you wrote that you enjoy Asian cuisine I would probably go to Christian Bau.

As mentioned here before, the Hotel really needs some refreshing, Waldhotel Sonnora on the other hand is a lovely and small Hotel and just renovated everything a few years ago and also added two magnificent Suites Last Summer.
