How about a bierzo from Alvaro Palacios? I know that Schneider's stocks his Corullon, maybe some other bottlings as well. Around $35-50.

1978 Domaine Gaunoux Pommard Grands Epenots....delicious red fruits, very aromatic, and perfect with veal.

Dining in San Francisco
Keithstg replied to ustreetguy's topic in San Francisco Restaurants and Dining
I was out last month for business and ate at SPQR, Range, Ame, and Zuni. Zuni was by far the worst meal, but I would not hesitate to recommend SPQR for a great, casual dinner in Pacific Heights, or Range for an extremely well priced "new american (ish) meal with one michelin *. Ame was also excellent, but probably qualifies as a splurge for those not travelling for business (with a generous per diem). -
Alder would be just fine. I have both cold and hot smoked bacon with apple and hickory with good results - I'd probably not use mesquite, as the flavor can be quite strong - best save that for brisket.ETA: Ruhlman's book on charcuterie does have an excellent section on bacon.

Rocco presenting the Rocco award is fantastic! At least he has a sense of humor....

2005 Joseph Swan Vineyards Pinot Noir (Saralee Vineyard). Consumed waaay to early in it's life, but delicious with some time in the decanter. Earthy nose, bright cherry fruit, strawberry notes with a touch of menthol. Light colored compared to the typical RRV pinot nowadays, and this was refreshingly low in alcohol at 13%. Nice to not have a Cali pinot come in at 15% or better every time out. This is available at WFM for under $25 - a bargain.

Dining Near RFK Stadium
Keithstg replied to Woodleygrrl's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and Dining
Off topic, but as both a neighborhood resident and Nats season ticket holder, I think that the meters are a fantastic idea. -
Sure. Leave some Barolo in trade (for a lot of rib tips)!
-
I have a few times. It's better than Checker's....and Kenny's on Maryland Avenue, but certainly nothing earth shattering. I think the best 'cue on the hill comes out of the bradley smoker in my back yard

Eating at Nationals Park
Keithstg replied to Joe Riley's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and Dining
I'm sure that there will be Noble Roman's or Papa John's or whatever available at the regular concession stands, but no local pizza place at Nats Park. I'm cringing at the thought of eating 81 half smokes this season, assuming I stick to one a game....- 607 replies

Doubt it. Emeril is a chef, and owns a restaurant. As for the other two....This season has been the best thus far, I think. Both the NOLA and London/Scotland episodes were fantastic.

The Best Restaurants In The Area
Keithstg replied to alan7147's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and Dining
Another vote for Cityzen. Marcel's is a great restaurant, but less on the "holy shi&" scale. When I think of Marcel's I think of extremely well prepared dishes, but nothing too far off the beaten path. Not that there's anything wrong with that - just seems like Cityzen is more in line with what you're looking for. -
For those of you who read Voice of the Hill, there is a nice article in this week's issue about Leah and her vision for the new business. I'm thrilled that an independent shop like this is coming to the Hill!

To follow up on what Mark said, the Jean Louis room is great for groups around 15. I've had a work event there as well as a birthday party, and both were excellent. The room is very nicely outfitted, and the view into the kitchen is very neat. The folks I work with were fascniated by it.

Champagne for New Year's Eve
Keithstg replied to Marcus Aurelius's topic in Beer, Wine, and Cocktails
Hopefully now that there is US Distribution again Selosse will be at least a little more accessible.I'll be drinking Paul Bara rose and Gaston Chiquet Special Club... -
Just want to add my thanks to Chefs Cooper and Ziebold, Hillvalley, Melina, Don, and everyone else who put this evening together. What a fantastic event! We look forward to attending more dr.com events in the future.

I'm planning on heading to Vidalia around 6pm, so please count me in as well!

New article on the Food Network and its demise in the times this morning. Quoth Batali “They don’t need me. They have decided they are mass market and they are going after the Wal-Mart crowd,” which he said was “a smart business decision. So they don’t need someone who uses polysyllabic words from other languages.” Wonder who he's talking about?NY Times

I'd second the Round Robin bar. Alternatively, the bar at the Ritz Georgetown might work. It's a more modern than the bars listed above, but is quiet and comfortable in the early evening.

Glad to hear about the new neighborhood spot - welcome to DR.com, Seeling and dcandohio!

To Whom Are You Drinking Right Now?
Keithstg replied to starfish's topic in Beer, Wine, and Cocktails
Tonight we raise our glasses of Dugat Gevrey Chambertin to Henry Hudson. -
I've had the exact same experience, however at Wide World of Wines, not Bassin's. I buy probably 60% of my wine from Schneider's, 30% off mailing list, and 10% auction.

In a word, no. Food befitting it's location next door to to Cafe Milano.

Dayum. Maybe they should take those five bottles I want to get rid of. Even those would be an improvement...
