When a reporter from Forbes called me to ask if I would share my favorite quaff and where I like best to imbibe it, it was a hard call. It was something akin to choosing your favorite child, or as one of the other folks polled said, choosing your favorite sexual position.
Check out this fun little piece of reporting at Forbes Life.com. It takes us through the top drinks of everyone from chefs like Mario Batali to winemakers such as Luisa Ponzi. One of my favorite chefs and characters in the business, the unflappable Anthony Bourdain likes a good Negroni as much as I do.
Many folks had to share their favorite bars in different places. I wouldn't have felt complete had I not told you my tops for San Francisco, New York and Rome: the three cities I call home and drink superbly well in. You'll have to go to the link if you want to find out the details.
Michael Davis, chairman of Hart Davis Hart Wine Co. a Chicago-based auction house and retailer, says Paris' Place des Vosges tops his list. I couldn't agree more, particularly if I could eat that lamb with a great glass of Côtes du Rhônes again at Café Creme, a small restaurant just off the Place des Vosqes that turned one of my best friends into a meat eater. David also like a glass of Champagne, which is always apropos with me.
Deborah Kemp, a sommelier in London, focuses on her Barbarescos, one of my favorite wines in the world. She suggests decanting it. In my Italian-inspired style I would probably decant almost anything that wouldn't be spoiled by the air.
Cheer to you on the long weekend to come. Please enjoy a glass of something special at one of your favorite watering holes,
Liza the Wine Chick
