A well-balanced and teenaged #Burgundy - a special treat indeed! 🍷
This was sommelier Matt Portnoy’s pick when we couldn’t decide what to order with dinner. He so kindly served us Bud Lights with the bottle to round out our trip to Flavortown (as Guy Fieri would say). 🍻
Enjoyed at Manhatta, Danny Meyer’s newest addition to the stellar USHG family. Not only are the views epic, but the food is great, design is excellent, cocktails inventive and there are even binoculars along the window for exploration of the sights to behold from the 60th floor of 28 Liberty Street. 🏙

My second bottle in as many weeks of Egly-Ouriet’s Brut Tradition Grand Cru. Hands down my favorite under $100 Champagne.
Ultra pungent and what I can only describe as sultry stone fruit pastry. There’s an underlying layer of floral and mineral purity that’s both exotically gorgeous and subtlety confounding. The edges are tinged with ripe apple and Meyer lemon, and ride the lengthy finish on a bolt of acidity. Stunning. — 6 years ago

2014 Frederic Esmonin Bourgogne “Les Genevrieres” and Rolling Blackouts CF “Coastal Fever”. Wine has wonderful depth on the nose & shows plenty of elegant fruit, but has firmer structure than expected at the Bourgogne level. Very nice bottle. Record would have been a college radio giant back the day. Highly recommended for most audiences. — 6 years ago
