This is part one of two?
Commented Dec 7, 2011 on Excepting Alice at The Feiring Line
Excepting Alice
The dining hall was on the ridge above the mall with a gorgeous view of the placid, White Lake. That was the summer I would play GiGi. I would protest color war. I would have a huge crush on an unattainable boy. That was before I had morphed into a full-fledged shy teenager. During the summer...

Writer Fears No Critic
(well, that title isn't exactly true, but..) Came across this interview with me that author of Voodoo Vintners penned and wanted to stick it into my press file.
Really in the spirit of full disclosure, Feinbererg a public servant (via Rutgers) should disclose what she drank. And I don't want to hear her husband paid for it. And did she travel via Acela?

The $350 bottle @ Bistro Bis
To each his own. When Paul Ryan paid $350 dollar bottle of this wine and some rabid woman thought it was her duty to play cop and I wanted to bop the agitator, (an associate business professor at Rutgers, named Feinberg--who on this links explains herself, though I don't think she added any...
Wine key sounds like a marketing term to justify higher prices. The corkscrew in the photo look's like a waiter's corkscrew.

The key to getting cork(screwed) **
Sommelier's are replacing the evergreen corkscrew with a wine key and it's difficult not to think of the way short shorts transformed into hot pants. Well, it's not quite the same, but I can't resist the analogy. Must be the Solstice. I call this one of my favorite devices, a corks...
Boys let Belinda Chang defend herself.
Blackstone makes assertions he can scarely have direct knowledge of unless he's a shill. His assertion that "She selects not for the novice and not for the Spectator, not for the penurious and not for the princely, but somehow manages to be everyone's sommelier, and that's only part of her genius" is ridiculous in the extreme. The subject matter in wine in restaurants.

Drinking on 53rd Street
The first time I met Jancis Robinson, years ago I was so star-struck she must have thought a cat had ripped out my tongue. This time, a few weeks back, I had a serious heart-to heart-with self and thus overcame the shyness, had a terrific time. What a great woman and talent, but you knew that. R...
It was a few years ago and don't recall other than something Austrian.

4x retail is typical in Philadelphia. Don't know about the Modern, had a bad experience there when I reserved for 6 but only 5 of us showed. The reservation had been secured via cc for $25 a head. They seated us at the 6 top and then asked us to move to a 4 top. I told them they could keep $25 for the no show, this on a slow friday night (rosh hashanah). They moved us back to the 6 top and never charged the $25.

Not sure, they might feel threatened.

High Acid, Priestess, Patti, pH, Flor and Natural Wine
That is not Stuart George, it is Anthony and yes, it is YES! Lately the debate about natural has become contentious. Bashing vin nature has become something of a sport. You'd think that natural was the Morris (dance) of the wine world. Take a recent article penned for an Australian magazin...
They love to pick on you Alice.

Jean Foillard (Beaujolais)
A memorable tasting (and drinking) at Jean Foillard Villié Morgon (Beaujolais) This is the sort of tasting experience that you hardly forget. We were scheduled to visit Jean and Agnès the following day and we had reserved for the previous night in the Bed & Breakfast that they run in an aisle ...
Have you talked to him since?

Not Exactly for the Faint of Palate (Robert M. Parker, jr.)
I used to contribute to The Boss and My Job columns in the the New York Times and loved doing these little snapshots. Bascially, I wrote pieces in the subjects voice, hence the RMPjr, with Alice Feiring. This one that I did on critic Robert M. Parker Jr, was one of my favorite, and I believe I ...
