In response to Reader

Dear Reader,

Thanks for your comment. As far as Frank and my arrogance, you are indeed correct. As I wrote the post I knew I was being way too catty but couldn’t help myself; boring summer day with little inspiration and I allowed my boredom to turn on Frank, to no good outcome. I apologize.

As far as Riedel O series stemware goes, I do not critique the shape, I critique the fact that they force the heat of your hand in proximity with the juice, and no matter how many studies are done, being someone who likes both whites and reds a little cooler than room temp and far cooler than body temp, I must stand behind my feelings that they have no place in a serious wine program.

Thanks for keeping me in line. Maybe with Robuchon now open there will be more exciting stuff to think about, hey August is almost over.

Best,

Augieland
