I’ve followed this Bardolino producer since 2014. Their reds are unpretentious but not at all simple, and really delectable. This is just too good with a slight chill.

Lime prices in New Zealand are quite seasonal, they're affordable right now so it's Last Word season.

Some digestivo after Amatriciana and during the photoshoot of Simon Maillet’s knife.

Kimura glass out of Japan. Fantastic glassware! Not at all practical, but makes every use feel a bit special

 

[ethompson]

Absolutely incredible

I remember when they were a buck. Line for a table wraps around around the bar, out the lobby, and sometimes down the block, so it’s always a big party. Only 5 items on the menu: 1/4 light, 1/4 dark, 1/2 light, 1/2 dark and crunchies (fried batter scraps).

I'm getting pretty fond of this Sotol stuff. Especially with these bitters, from my favorite bitters company.

Sotol stole my heart some time ago. Sort of like mezcal I find that good sotol is really really good and bad sotol tastes like kerosene.
We have a Sotol distillery in Texas just west of Austin named Desert Door. It's a fun place to visit in a beautiful part of the state, and their sotol is pretty nice too. They work with local ranchers to harvest local wild grown sotol and it the result is an earthy/spicy sotol. They play around with barrel finishes as well and I found that I really enjoyed their rum barrel finished sotol.

One of my favorite New Zealand Pinot Noirs, Greystone Vineyard Ferment (this one's from 2018), not very 'New World' at all, it could probably pass for Savigny-lès-Beaune or something.
