Vinous Table: Tuscan Dinner @ 67 Pall Mall, London, UK
United Kingdom, Vinous Table
, May 2023
When I was invited to join a Tuscan-themed dinner in the private room at 67 Pall Mall, I eagerly accepted. I wanted to reacquaint myself with Tuscan wines and placate my palate, which was protesting that it wanted to taste anything other than Cabernet or Pinot Noir. The bottles were deeply impressive and showcased Tuscany at its best.

Cervejaria Ramiro is the ideal way to commence your Lisbon epicurean odyssey. As the taxi driver put it on the way back, it’s a favorite with locals because it lacks pretentiousness and offers value for the money.
Vinous Table: The Woodsman, Stratford-upon-Avon, UK

I must confess, I became rather star-crossed by The Woodsman. It delivers without pretension, the careful sourcing of ingredients plain to see and obvious to taste in every mouthful.
Vinous Table: Wilton's, London, UK
United Kingdom, Vinous Table
, Mar 2023
Wilton’s delivered. It’s not London’s trendiest restaurant. It predates Michelin stars and will probably outlive them. Wilton’s is the epitome of a gastronomic institution whose immutability is its strength, not a weakness.
Vinous Table: Ci Siamo, New York, NY
Vinous Table, United States: New York
, Mar 2023
Ci Siamo, a recent addition from Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group, has fast become one of my go-to spots in New York City for delicious, hearty food and fabulous wine. I can’t say enough good things about Ci Siamo. Two recent dinners have been nothing short of superb.
Vinous Table: Kitchen W8, London, UK
United Kingdom, Vinous Table
, Mar 2023
Kitchen W8 is well worth seeking out. I enjoyed the local, relaxed ambiance, perhaps things moving at a slightly slower pace here than elsewhere in the city. Prices are more reasonable than many, especially for lunch and early evening, and the quality of cooking is very assured and unpretentious.
