Is Schneider's in DC really that expensive? I always thought it was pretty good for prices. And the service is great. Of course, I live in VA, so anything other than the ABC stores is a welcome change. :)

Out of curiousity, do you live on the 12th floor of Palladium? Anyway, if I were in your position, I’d check out Zum Schneider, a German beer garden in the far East Village. I can’t personally attest to the quality,...

According to JoeSixPack in the May 15 Philadelphia Daily News “ Brauhaus Schmitz (718 South St.), the highly anticipated German beer hall, is expected to raise its first liter by June 15” Only other options in the...

We want to throw a going away party for 2 very special people sometime in March. We are thinking about 30 people and want a fun place to drink some beers and have a good time. Any recs? We were thinking maybe Zum Schneider as I...

Thanks Joe B. Was I correct in thinking that Terry is local?

I’m not an experienced Calvert Woodley shopper (I frequent Schneiders/Magruders/Laurel Fine Wine more often) and was surprised by the wine person’s recommendation, but figured “why not get another bottle —...

Which place are you talking about “W4 or W3, off 6th Avenue ” that has a Belgian Beer Garden? Do you mean Vol de Nuit? I didn’t know they had a garden. Have you been to d.b.a., The Ginger Man, Blind Tiger, or Zum...

Beer. Some pils and some hefe weisse should do the trick as refreshing summer beers. Weihenstephaner Hefe Weisse is a classic, one of the best. Others, like Paulaner, Franziskaner, Hacker-Pschorr or Schneider are also good. Or...

try the German restaurants — Lorelei, Rolf’s, Zum Schneider....some of the higher end restaurants may carry an ice wine or two along with the sauternes, etc.

John, I think your’s is an excellent suggestion. Perhaps Calvert Woodley or MacArthur, Schneider's, etc. and a certificate for a future on 2003 Lafite, Margaux, Mouton, etc. Alternatively, the Costco in Chantilly opened...

Aside for those already mentioned, Schneiders on Capital Hill has a good selection and knowledgable folks. Another place to try is Central Liquors or Bells. Wine Specialist has a good selection of hard to get wines, but their...

I just got back from a lunchtime run to the Pentagon City Costco, and there was narry a Y2K Bordeaux to be had. You seem to have gotten some historical information as to when Costco made their wine available, Joe. Is there any...

Zum Schneider on Avenue C and 7th. Perfect
