I just checked my Amazon order, I did order Neuroenology :) Guess I just saw Neurogastronomy from elsewhere in your post and copy & pasted that because it had Neuro at the start, lol.

Thanks for the tip! <br /><br />Ok, you know my direct connection to it, but, may I state that with a handful of exceptions, Oregon Pinot Gris is not made to be "interesting". It's meant as basic wine for basic food and basic occasions. That said, there are some interesting exceptions to the rule. Try Chehalem's "Ridgecrest Vineyard", Eyrie's "Original Vines" and/or a 20+ year old, cellar-certified Eyrie Gris.

And these are people who are proud of their wine selections! It's irredeemably stupid.<br /><br />Miquel,<br />Thank you for being an authoritative witness. The restaurant is in Healdsburg, not Bumfuck, Kansas (is that the capitol?). It's nuts.<br /><br />Bob,<br />Oh, I read them now and then. Hard to do a Blind Review of "Neuroenology."

And enlightening.<br /><br />Dave,<br />I just might have a moment tomorrow. I'll email you! I always love tasting your shit wine from those wonderful, stemless Riedels of yours.

If these appeals to you, then the interior of Spain awaits.<br /><br />Otherwise, due to to this association, absolutely ever restaurant will give you a wine glass for wine because to do otherwise infers that the wine is some bulk shit that was 0.25€ a liter from La Macha that not even the French wanted to truck in and bottle as cheap "Domaine Espagne" wine. Your restaurant is asshole if it does this. Like any restaurant anywhere that has canning jars for its glasses is likewise asshole.<br /><br />Cheers and admiration<br /><br />Miquel<br /><a href="https://wineonsix.com" rel="nofollow">wineonsix.com</a>Zzzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194540731851325282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-8390956258245277962017-02-23T08:08:12.886-08:002017-02-23T08:08:12.886-08:00are all the common taters hung over today? how di...are all the common taters hung over today? how did I get to be first?<br /><br />amen to your wine glass comment. I haven't eaten at the place you mention, but they aren't the first and certainly not the only to do that. The irony is that the only time you'd ever see glasses like that in Spain or Italy is in an inexpensive small tavern or osteria, and only for cheap house wine. Even a small enoteca that we found called "La Sirena Ubriaca" (the drunken mermaid!) in Marsala brought us quality stemware with our bottle of rosado.<br /><br />thanks, Hose!Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947624477553194151noreply@blogger.com
