1990 B.V. GDL Reserve

[amw5g]

It's a shop called Bacu on the Outer Banks. It's in the OBX Mall. I call it quirky because it's a small room attached to a bar/restaurant. Looking at it from the outside, you wouldn't think they had much, but their selection is surprising. The guy who runs it is also very helpful. We plan on using is services when we go back this Christmas for an extended holiday.

The gal and I have eaten at Bonterra. Twice. First time was less than satisfactory and we let them know our grievances. They comped our second trip and we were very pleased. Good selection of wine (including the BV Tapestry [img]http://38.118.142.245/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]) Have not tried Upstream (that's a schlep from where we are) or Palomino. Next tim you are over here, try Sonoma Bistro. They do some very good work. I'm also itching to try Bistro 100 since they got their new chef.

'Round our parts we have one dedicated wine shop and a World Market which suits our budget. the Wine Shop in the Park Road shopping center is our latest find and we liked our most recent trip there. If you know of any noteworthy spots, we're all ears.

Sorry to ramble....
