Our good friends the Bahamians are on an extended holiday in Europe. At one of their stops, at La Tour d’Argent, when they asked for the wine list they were given this Manhattan phone book-sized inventory of the restaurant’s wine cellar.
No wonder Mr. Bahamian, so nattily and continentally attired in basic black, looks a bit perplexed in this picture! If I had to wade through a thousand-page wine list, I’d be ready to order, say, about next weekend.
Easiest way to handle this? Ask for the Sommelier, tell him what you like, and ask for his suggestions. That’s what he’s there for. Had the same experience at Bern’s Steak House in Tampa. As I recall, their was chained to the table.
