    I'm pretty sure Barry has become the executive chef of the hotel and not just Pinea.

    All Purpose and Unconventional Diner are my go to lunch spots, both easily under $35. Buttercream Bakery for dessert.

    My first one was not pleasant. They were stingy with the sedation. The doctor couldn't navigate the peritoneum so they ordered a "virtual colonoscopy". Equally as uncomfortable.

    Wine For Wedding Reception

    Mark Slater replied to Simul Parikh's topic in Beer, Wine, and Cocktails

    Keep in mind that a case of wine = 60 glasses.

    Bistrot du Coin is that place for me.

    It's a really great place for lunch. Not crowded and quiet, the food comes quickly. The lunch menu has so many good things on it.

    Building a Wall between the USA and Mexico

    Mark Slater replied to DonRocks's topic in Current Events

    Be careful. The simpletons that think a wall is a viable solution might get offended.

    Bordeaux

    Mark Slater replied to MarkS's topic in The Intrepid Traveler

    Have a nice lunch at Le Relais de Margaux. Surrounded by chateaux in a Michelin star setting. Make sure to have dinner at La Tupina off of Quaie de la Monaie. It's a fancy bistro with a huge hearth at the front door and an amazing collection of vintage Armagnacs. They will try to sell you one from your birth year. While looking at the menu, ask for Le Bloc de Foie Gras. It comes with crusty bread that is slathered with duck fat and grilled. Make sure to get out of town and visit St. Emilion. It is the prettiest town in the area. Bordeaux is a major city with many medieval buildings still preserved. The center city is mostly pedestrian zoned. There are beautiful parks and a cool modern street car system.

    The Bias Against "Local" Wines

    Mark Slater replied to dmwine's topic in Beer, Wine, and Cocktails

    I'm a big fan of Peay. Their Sonoma Coast Chardonnay has beautiful smoky oak texture. Have you tried their line called Cep? Very high quality at half the price of Peay.

    Cool seems a little easier to say.

    Wine pairing, of course. Solid tasting menu. You won't leave hungry.
