There is something compelling about Riesling. It almost never fails to raise questions: do I like this? is it sweet? is it not sweet? is that… banana? The grape and its wine generate intense...

  • 1st Mother's Day done. A little weird after 50 years. I was happy for the #chacha, and Evan made my fave - rhubarb pie. Plus lamburgers and oysters. Nice rub, @chefmarcusanthony !

  • My first restaurant was @jetwinebar. I love them all, of course, but Jet was first. We had a break-in in the garden, which just feels sooooo violating. They stole a bunch of wine, but I was so oddly relieved that no @merselwine #lebnat was taken. It was all inside. Seriously, that helped my perspective so much. We are closed tonight, but come to the garden tomorrow and please be forgiving if we are out of a few items.
