Restaurant Wine List

Roberto, I agree that there are plenty of idiots who started restaurants, wine shops, carpet mills, furniture store ad infintum, but I`ve seen an almost 100% success rate in Napa and Sonoma for as Mike says " A " Fine dining " establishment. There are so many visits to the wine country by so many people that even the mediocre jernts make it, and the good ones are packed 52 per year. Hopefully the one Mike will be working in will be in the latter. As far as success or failure , again the point is Mike, Chef-to-be should be looking, listening , and learning with all the eagerness of a novice. The Man is going to call the shots at first just like you did. Know lots of guys who " Just want to own a winery " and have the bucks to buy one. They also, for the most part are smart `nuff to get Heidi ,Helen, or another talent to guide `em. And don`t come back rantin` bout them gals havin` no talent. Success breeds success breeds envy. WW And Hotwine and IK, you`ve completely lost the picture of where in the blue-blazes this restaurant is opening. `Taint Dallas or New York, It`s in Sonoma County, WINE COUNTRY CALIF. The people from San Fran, L.A., Detroit etc are there to sample the stuff made there for heavens-sake. As many times as I`ve ate in Napa and Sonoma, I`ve never heard ONE SINGLE PERSON ASK FOR A DARNED ITALIAN OR FRENCH WINE . Case closed WW Oh, and one more thing, I made a post about Coturri somewhere Roberto and it wasn`t very old-world complementary
