They aren't marked, but they're slightly larger than a Six Grapes 187 that I have so I'm going to say 200 ml.Eric Menchen wrote:Anyone know the size of those Quevedo samplers?

After spending 6 hours at dinner, and a whole lot of tasting, at Bern's Steakhouse I've come to the conclusion they have the best wine/Port/Madeira list I've ever seen or heard of. Truly amazing place.

Love it that they have Madeira by the "half ounce". And sooo many VPs by the glass (not the best stuff, but still).
Need to make it out to Tampa!
Maybe make it a yearly/5-yearly FTLOP pilgrimage?

Bern's is renowned worldwide for its wine list. It rivals La Tour d'Argent in Paris. I'm jealous!Andy Velebil wrote:After spending 6 hours at dinner, and a whole lot of tasting, at Bern's Steakhouse I've come to the conclusion they have the best wine/Port/Madeira list I've ever seen or heard of.

I would say every couple years would be fun and keep it from getting too regular. We could do some serious damage to their cellar, I've seen how many on here can suck down the tasty purple liquid like waterMiguel Simoes wrote: Maybe make it a yearly/5-yearly FTLOP pilgrimage?

It's Roy's 60th birthday in 2017. I wonder where we could hold a birthday party for him?

Re: Restaurants and Bars w noteworthy Port/Madeira offerings
A local restaurant that I tend to visit quite a bit has a wine list that is easily the size of a telephone book. It's huge! Of course, all of the major (and minor) wine regions are represented, although I must say that the Port selection is solid but not spectacular. Nevertheless, I always enjoy the variety that they offer.Derek T. wrote:I own a copy of their wine list from 1984.

Re: Restaurants and Bars w noteworthy Port/Madeira offerings
You need an alternate strategy for Bern's when you live within walking distance. (Well not walking distance for Floridians perhaps, but having lived in NYC and walking everywhere well in range for me.) Had to cut back to only going when I have out of town guests after I moved to Tampa. More recently the further refinement on that was to go when out of town wine geeks not counting calories show up...Andy Velebil wrote:I would say every couple years would be fun and keep it from getting too regular.

As noted tons by the glass and even more on the list. More than a few probably last bottles around as well.
