A wee BloodyPulpit (first one in over a month):
1. On my way back from a month in Italy/Slovenia/Austria/Suisse and staying in NYC for a few days at Cam's. Wonderful meal
last night at TheTangledVine wine bar w/ some very interesting wines. Dinner at LePif tonight.
Whilst in Austria, I tried maybe some 12-15 Blaufrankisch. This LFC was very similar to those and better than many of them.
They should be planting Blaufrankisch all over the USofA.
Checked out a few wine shops in the UpperWestSide. The AmsterdamWineCompany was he best one I found. Very interesting selection
and very friendly folks.
