The only serious wine store that I’m aware of in Brooklyn is Red White & Bubbly. The owner is well known in the biz and is a Master of Wine. He was an instructor at a sommelier program I took.
I’ll give you a better rec than Costco for plonk. That’s the liquor store next to Pathmark, by Lowes. That’s where I go for my cases of everyday wine. Low prices and add’l discounts by the case.
Of course every nabe has a coupla small local wine stores that are decent.
if gonna talk real estate CGar, have you checked out/heard of 225 pacific condos? I see on website very large roof terraces and open house this sunday. You should do a report for Brownstoner.
Cobble, I’m probably going to bring stuffed mushrooms. I can make them a day or two in advance and just throw them in her oven to cook.
That and (don’t laugh) they sell this box of 65 mixed frozen mini deserts in BJ’s and we got them one time and everyone freaked over them so now they always request it. It’s got everything from Napoleons to Chocolate Eclairs. I gotta say it’s awesome.
I usually just enjoy the day off work & cook steak for myself on Thanksgiving. Drink too much & watch football. My US family are too far away to bother to travel.
Always go back to the UK for Christmas, though.
Why do you split up for the day, Pete. Just curious. I used to do that myself on occasion. It was just easier.

That actually sounds VERY relaxing, etson! [Except for the hangover I’m anticipating for you!]
YUMYUMYUM, loves me some stuffed mushrooms! Ooh, I think I’m adding them to the menu! THX!
I’m not laughing! I love eclairs! And besides, if the ‘peoples’ are happy, who’s to complain!
have a lousy weekend losers.
My Mom and Dad are still debating whether they’re going to make the drive up and go to my sisters.
If they do I have requested my mom drop off to me a Shoo Fly Pie.
I was watching So you think you can dance and the choreographer described a movement as “it’s like you’re moving through molasses”.
The molasses has stuck in my head and I can’t get that damned pie out of my mind.

Sounds good, DH. If you change your mind, let me know. Friend owns a rental building around 26th & 6th.
