For Ann Rothman, a Manhattan real estate agent, her difficult person is a know-it-all friend who simply cannot be pleased.
“She’s a superior human being, and she comes from a superior area — Berkeley, Calif.,” Ms. Rothman said. “She has told me many times that there are only two places to get good food. One of them is Berkeley, and one of them is France. And France is only second to Berkeley.”

It was really great. There were a lot of good wines, some great wines, and a few "not so good wines". Hopefully I will have a chance to add tasting notes one day, but in the mean time, I'm going to enjoy my $15 bottle of wine that I bought for myself while I think about the very expensive wines that I just tasted.
