) and Porter Creek down Westside Road. Preston also does a lot of other rhone and other “oddball” varietals very nicely. Just opened a Barbera last week which was very nice. Porter Creek also has nice pinot and syrah....

) is the best, with Herrell’s (Harvard) and Emack & Bolio’s (Porter) also very good. Christina’s in Inman Square has champions here, but I don’t like them nearly as much. Picco in the South End is also...

many bad t-bones/porters, my rule of thumb is that, the iffier the steak house, the worse the porterhouse. You see, the cut has so much damn surface area that it almost is never thick enough to create a good dark crust unless you...

Stella Atois SUX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have tried this gunk of a beer based on an old Slayer Album cover in which Jeff Hanneman had a can of it in his hand. I saw it in the grocery store and I bought it. I was NOT impressed. I...

winter beers (barleywines, porters, stouts, belgians, etc.) that Resi’s would not. But why not hit them all and you can brag of a headache worse than Algren ever had!

Hi Jeff, I’d liked your ideas— especially the one about taking a trip to the restroom before ordering. I hadn’t thought of that. I’d like to add a couple of tips of my own especially related to finding...
