My wife is in Hoboken, New Jersey this week, traveling for business, and an occasion, a dinner meeting with a published wine author, came up in which my wife sent me the wine list for three restaurants and asked me to choose the restaurant with the best published wine list for a dinner on Thursday night. You know, all the better to impress this author, who has chops.
Well, first of all, this is a parlor game of the highest order—which wine list will have the most accurate wine list in person, as listed on their web site? Doubtlessly none of these supposed wine lists are accurate. I would hazard a guess that they might be as off as 20% or more. But, then, what fun would it be if you didn’t get rooked every now and then?
My recommendation based on the below three choices was Amanda’s, though I don’t think any of the lists are sublime. One is crap, one is pretty good, though not great, and one is a California expense account list. Take a look at the three and see what your thoughts are. I recommended Amanda’s, by the way. But, is one crap and one a California sucker list?
