    I've been lucky to have tasted the famous 1967 several times.

    I love good Sauternes. I have been lucky enough to taste the greatest Sauternes from the best vintages. Sauternes early in a multi-course meal ruins the palate for the following wines, IMO.
  3. Mark Slater
    Nope. The classic pairing is Sauternes with cold terrine of goose foie gras (foie d'oie). Seared foie gras pairs much better with dry Alsatian Riesling.

    OpenTable has great flexibility in the table inventory, the pacing (how many covers it will allow in a certain time period) and party size.
  5. Mark Slater
    No, my least favorite thing is thinking Sauternes automatically goes with any preparation of foie gras.
  6. Mark Slater
    Yes, especially since the original service manager of Mirabelle is working at the Wharf now.

    Richard Strauss had the same problem, but his music is so much better.

    Many years ago, I worked at a hotel where Jack Webb stayed often. His one personal quirk was that he always wore bright red socks.

    Keep your eyes peeled for a bottle of Bionic Frog from Cayuse. It's the hardest Walla Walla wine to score a bottle of.

    Fun article about Olive Garden on eater.com says the one thing you can't get at Olive Garden is........olives.

    When the second amendment was written, guns held exactly one bullet. How is there equivalency with machine guns?

    Those kids snickering like that had me on the floor laughing. Alexa........

    It looks like a nice restaurant. Business casual is normal in France. Jeans and T shirts are a mostly American thing.

    Hey, AA, hi! Your next stop should be Eden Center in Arlington, VA.

    Agreed. The Producers has always been my go to off the wall film. That and Idiocracy.

    Cornbread chips. Trust me.

    Yes, especially at those prices.

    Definitely Proof.

    I waited on him several times. He was always very pleasant. He has always been on TV since I moved here in 1977. You would never know it from TV, but he was very tall.

    White Sulphur Springs Tom Sietsema reviewed the Greenbrier a few months ago in the Washington Post.

    Old Europe here in DC is a fun time warp kind of restaurant. The food is decent. If you like German wine, the list is extensive and VERY CHEAP. They have a generous sausage plate. I always get a schnitzel. It's also very moderately priced.

    I loved that chicken .

    Pennsylvania 6 at 1350 I St. has all that

    Not a very flattering review. $700 meals aren't supposed to go that way.
