By Barbra Austin · Leave a Comment

The Daily Bite: November 11

The Daily Bite: Shooting at the beets and carrots (bang, bang)

By Meg Zimbeck · 9 Comments
  • P-Wells puts Passard against the wall and warns that ”anyone who serves langoustine carpaccio should be shot.” She goes on to say that L’Arpège is no better than a hospital cafeteria or a “vegetarian cult restaurant of the 1970s.” Her fighting words put us in the mood to revisit Scandal’s The Warrior (it totally holds up), and now we can’t stop imagining that Patricia Wells and Patty “Smyth” might actually be the same person. As Barbra said, “has anyone ever seen them in a room together?” [Patricia Wells]

  • I mentioned this on Friday, but now that we have accompanying art we’d like to once again congratulate PbM contributing advisors Dorie Greenspan and Alexander Lobrano for their fine showing at the IACP awards last week.

The Daily Bite: Is Biodynamic wine a hoax? Is Bordeaux turning Chinese?

By Meg Zimbeck · Leave a Comment

Down the Hatch

  • Aaron Ayscough visits the Renaissance des Appellations biodynamic wine tasting and stains his teeth with the wines of Nicolas Joly and other Steiner devotees. [Not Drinking Poison in Paris]
  • Stuart Smith, in his latest post “Why I Resent Biodynamic Farming!” explains that vintners like Joly are trying to belittle him, divide the industry for marketing purposes, and that he didn’t want to go to their stupid party anyway. [Biodynamics is a Hoax]
  • The Chinese government, which doesn’t give a Year of the Rat’s ass about any of this biodynamic stuff, has just purchased a château in Bordeaux and is setting up its own distribution network to ensure the supply from its favorite French wine region. [Wine Spectator]
