A B Beer & Wine

• July 2014

  Hello Snooth friends!I found this website for beer and I was wondering if we have any equivalents for wine... if not, we should! http://www.beermenus.com/ Please let me know if you know of one, at least for New York. It may help with a frequent issue: picking the best deal on the list and having the server say it's sold out or no longer availabl... Read More

  'Other compounds' is obviously what it's all about.I like the fact that they decide red wine should be 12% alcohol.  ;-)NG, my sister tried to get me on that 7-glasses-of-water-a-day (or however many) regime, but I told her:a) tap water isn't the tastiest in Tokyob) bottled water industry is largely a scamc) I drink lots of tea (and some coffee)...

  Hey everyone, what are some of your favorite 'everyday' or M-F types of wines to accompany a regular dinner?  I personally have enjoyed the Montoya Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa, and I usually pick it up from Total Wines out here in Virginia.  This is one of those fruit-forward cabs that isn't too complex for me to appreciate, and it usually cost...

  Hi guys:I was at a local wine and liquor store today; I buy quite a bit of stuff from them but don't really know any of the staff. It was quite warm and I was out running errands. I decided to stop by and pick up a few bottles of inexpensive wine (sub $15) that I can use in part for cooking.I guess maybe my hand was a little sweaty or something ... Read More

  In getting together with some LA and OC wine folks yesterday, I brought along this 1961 Oddero Barolo to the party that also featured a '66 Lafite, and a '66 Haut Brion, among others. I had sourced this Barolo just last week as something to throw at the pair of old 1st growth wolves, and spice things up. Sitting here this morning, I can easily c... Read More

  Welcome Tradewater! Are you trading water for wine? Ol' Benjy coined an oft-quoted aphorism: "In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria." Though I've sometimes thought this might be one of those faked sayings since I doubt much open discussion of bacteria was taking place back in his day. Another trade on wate... Read More

  Our courtyard is the perfect place, at least at this time of year.  It has seen many gatherings of friends and acquaintances to enjoy a little fruit and cheese, a little wine, and a lot of conversation.  What, after all, can be more important than trying to communicate with other humans -- and how better than in my courtyard and over a nice glas...
