[LONG] Snakebit in Chicago

There were enough bites, I picked one at random to quote. That's an amazing run of bad wines. Sounds like the resto did a really great job managing both the issues and the diners.

I only had one similar experience, years ago at a Paris restaurant: we had to send back 3 bottles. By the 3rd I felt positively embarrassed, though I don't think I should have been. The place in question, a now departed 1 star called Fontaine d'Autueil, dealt reasonably well although they were miffed (but in agreement) about the 3rd bottle.

Sorry to hear about the hand. Hope the use of cutlery wasn't impeded...

Are you guys still coming to Paris this summer?

We're still in discussion about it, Emery. In part it depends on what Andrew will be doing this summer. I'll let you know by email when I know myself.
