  1. Nothing like eating mussels just hauled out of the sea & drinking cold Albarino on a fishing boat off the Galician coast...
  2. In Pontevedra, having a beer & alarmingly large plate of pulpo Gallego. Good after long flight but may end up dreaming of tentacles.
  3. At Summit drinking Greg Seider's terrific cocktails--
  4. Backstage at Stella Artois World Draught Master event--in marker on a stagehand's toolbox, "the future is coming... learn to breathe." Odd.
  5. Journal of Ag & Food Chem pinpoints iron, not tannins, as culprit in bad red wine & fish pairings. On my blog http://bit.ly/4yLSWP
  6. 59 Leoville Las Cases + TCA = is there any rational argument against screwtops?
  7. Just finished my old world vs new world wine & burger pairing seminar at NYCWFF w/ Spike Mendelsohn. Great guy, exclnt burgers! Europe won.
  8. Just finished tasting through 8 vintages of Beaucastel w/ Marc Perrin @ NYC Wine & Food fest...89 & 90 both stunning but 90 won for me
  9. In green room at The Early Show--turns out I'm on early, at 7:40
  10. On CBS Early Show tomorrow around 8ish, talking about some of our 09 American Wine Award winners!
  11. Once again, Manhattan: grinning loon in a pink skintight bodysuit on unicycle just nearly mowed me down in 21st St crosswalk.
  12. At Giants Stadium waiting for Bruce!
  13. At Tyler Colman's seminar for Newport Wine & Food--tasting an 07 Francois Pinon Vouvray that's a steal for $18.
  14. Watching Jacques Pepin be incredibly charming as usual in his demo at Newport Mansions Wine & Food Fest!
  15. Drinking '99 Brunello, pleased that my random basement storage area (wire cage, zero temp control) seems to have aged it ideally.
  16. After intensive tasting, the judges give the blending prize to Vinny Dotolo of Animal. Step aside Michel Rollland!
  17. Blind tasting cabernet blends concocted by the 09 best new chefs...who will win?
  18. In Beringer's old winery watching the F&W 09 Best New Chefs guessing brix levels on grapes they picked this morning.
  19. Picking up chunks of obsidian in Beringer's Chabot vineyard--perfectly gorgeous day in Napa Valley.
  20. Which is better for you, bottle of 03 Roederer Rose Champagne or 90 min detoxifying seaweed wrap? Same price, at least where I am.
