Since I have a good general knowledge of wines and food and a smattering of knowledge over this and that, too bad I didn't live in the Brooklyn area at the time this was posted. I would have loved to drop in, wow the owner as much as possible and then let him know what a belle I was and what a damn Yank he was.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15210421.post-44028567672237229812007-09-06T22:33:00.000-05:002007-09-06T22:33:00.000-05:00I wholeheartedly agree with Marco.
