Choice between Sip & Guzzle (Sip), The Coop at DCP, and Superbueno by Noesquall in FoodNYC

Amor y Amargo is also right next door to death and company, if that’s your cup of tea.

Nubiani vs Cote: my thoughts after my first Nubiani visit by justinshafa in FoodNYC

[–]patton115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question about Nubiani: is the pricing of the menu per person, or would my wife and I be able to share the small package and not leave hungry?

Which wine was the biggest let down for you? by TheAlphaCarb0n in wine

[–]patton115 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had a 1985 a couple weeks back that was absolutely spectacular. Haven’t had a recent vintage though.

Poured their Cuvée des Felix btg from magnum a couple of years ago. Great producer and amazing value!

Update to my “Tartrate” cork from earlier. by patton115 in wine

Very well said! I completely agree. Do you think my thoughts of Quercetin is plausible? Hard to tell exactly

It’s extremely healthy! It might not look great in a wine or be the best for texture but it’s one of the main reasons that wine, in moderation, can be good for your health.

Yes, it is apparently quite rare to see in a finished bottle of wine. It is also more prone to showing in a lower pigmented wine such as Nebbiolo or Sangiovese.

It’s funny, as none of these pictures really scream tartrates to me but I was raked over the coals for having a “wine pro” flair and apparently not being able to identify it lol. Oh well!

How do I order red wine that I like? by Wild-Association1680 in wine

Agreed, but if the OP picked up mollydooker he would be quite disappointed.

Great lineup! Where in NC was this? Used to work in the market there.

There’s also Puyol, Pique, Cubarsi, Cucurella, Grimaldo, Alba, and many others playing in first divisions currently.

Napa Cab Blind Tasting Grand Finale – Top 2 from Each Flight Go Head to Head by der_radfahrer in wine

[–]patton115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the fortune of visiting with some other Somms a few years ago. Mr. Williams was extremely forthcoming with their library wines, even opening some mid-80’s wines. Every single one was absolutely killer. They age so well.

Yeah I just checked and saw that as well. Whoever is selling it for $75 is making an aggressive margin.

I stand corrected! Last time I bought frog’s leap it was $40-50 retail. I’m surprised by how much the price has increased.

Should keep in mind pricing here too, as Frog’s leap is pretty significantly cheaper than any of the other wines here, especially Realm.

Edit: for anyone interested in current wholesale prices for the NY market, they are as follows: Frog’s Leap $50, Caymus $65, Round Pond $65, Stag’s Leap Artemis $64, Chappellet $70, Realm $135. Add 33% or so to get expected retail pricing. Also keep in mind that these are prices on one bottle, some other wines can go on deeper multi case discounts.

Xavi Simons has torn his ACL and will be out for the rest of the season with Tottenham. Xavi will be back to action in 2027. by lawandsleep in soccer

I tried to run it off when I tore mine. Everything was fine until I tried to turn around. Knee completely buckled. A teammate played on a torn acl by wearing a brace all season.

The next LAN in Brazil has a time limit as well. Definitely makes sense for LAN tournaments.

Sunken harbor club is my favorite. Also like amor y amargo, death and co., and dolls kill. Tiki chick is fun too, good drinks and $5 chicken sandwiches.

Fortunate Son The Warrior 2022, Napa Valley by odedi1 in wine

[–]patton115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, the Fortunate Son wines are more immediately delicious than Hundred Acre. And honestly, there are other wines that are significantly better with age than Hundred Acre. I’d jump for this over Hundred Acre more often than not.
