Let's introduce ourselves and get to know one another better

Pretty sure he had nothing to do with it. He’s a figurehead at this point. It was the new people running the show after CBS Interactive bought them out (and hired Georges whatshisface) that made all these changes. Leff was just trying to justify a poor redesign as something good for the site.

  2. Family recipes and wine, I LOVE wine!

  3. When Elizabeth Faulkner still lived here and Orson was open, the tasting menu was the bomb. Parmesan pudding canelle with chili flakes, cocoa nibs and unflavored pop rocks. Amazing!

  4. I work in grocery wine retail and am the current Cellar Master for the German Wine Society SF Chapter.

Welcome

Oh yes!! welcome BWS!

If you have questions about wine, I’ll do my best to answer them. I am a Geek, not a “Expert”, but I volunteer at wines events to help me stay current with what’s happening in the local wine scene. And to taste for free of course. :blush:

Very late to the party, but still. Been lurking, but it’s not my style so here goes - trying my first post here:

  1. In NYC (Manhattan). Travel elsewhere frequently, though not as insanely as a few years ago.
  2. Eating out in nyc, the diversity of indian food, dumplings.
  3. Eating offal as a child before I knew what it was… loving it too much to give it up after I found out what it was…
  4. I can kill any plant, including cacti. But I still keep trying to grow things…

Welcome!!! I also keep trying o grow stuff I kill!

Thanks! Re killing plants… wouldn’t be half as bad if my mom didn’t grow leaves from a dead stick. The green thumb definitely skipped me :slightly_frowning_face:

Glad to see you over here! I don’t post much on CH anymore but still follow a few threads and have enjoyed your posts and enthusiasm!

We’re still young and growing with a really great group of people.

Thanks! I realized that people from many of the discussions I enjoyed had moved elsewhere… I guess my hiatus from CH had coincided with the site issues. Glad to see some familiar folks :slight_smile:
