Runnin' Rebel · 19 July 2017, 04:05 PM

Went out to shopping at a nice outdoor mall in Summerlin, NV as she moving back home after 6 years at school in California and needs clothes and things for when she gets here and we were hungry too.

We went here:

^^Nice table tops I thought^^

It's wine bar and resturant and also retail wine and you can take it to go or have it with dinner, so we walk to the table and the wine are in their original wooden box and I saw some Faust 2014 and thought hummm..

Looking at the menu I saw no Faust by the bottle but they had it by glass though. That's strange. The by the glass price was ridiculous as usual.

Was wearing this by the way

I ask the waiter why not a bottle but had by the glass, he got this weird look and said good question. I ask him how much by the bottle, he thought for a moment and said 65.00!? I know it's 45-55 at the liquor store so I said sold before he said anything else. And by the way it's 25.00 per glass in the restaurant.

He brings it over and I just tell him to pour, no tasting drama stuff. So he pours and leaves and Daughter and I cheer each other and she took her first gulp, she's a tom boy, so she just dives right into things and after a few minutes she goes--

Dad, this wine is nothing like your Insignia, I go yes, your right it's good but different but very young. She says it's kinda tight, not much fruit or other particular flavorful tastes. Correct she was. I said what do you wanna do about it ? She calls the waiter over and ask for a decanter, I lol after he went to get it. He brought it back and she did this in a packed resturant

I just laughed again, and about 15 minutes later and huge difference and she says that's better. Very proud of her knowing her wine taste is getting better except for dumping her wine in the decanter but whatever it's funny story to me

What we ate:

Steak salad for me substituted the iceberg for romaine lettuce

Daughter pretty much dove right in to filet and mashed potatoes, which she loves potatoes but won't order rib-eye or other meats cause of my grill taste. I won't cook filet, no flavor unless I put Maytag Blue Cheese on them but they are shut down due to some bacteria issues again so can't find it anywhere.

Raspberry sorbet we split

Moral of the story: she learnt something at college

Fun times!

That price for the Faust was basically retail plus a reasonable corkage fee. Smart move.

ejvette · 19 July 2017, 07:25 PM

Awesome Mark I know how you feel having her home my daughter moved to FL for her 1st job and I miss her terribly

SearChart · 19 July 2017, 07:52 PM

Looks very delicious (and bloody expensive

), very cool that your daughter appreciates fine wine as well

NewEnthusiast · 19 July 2017, 08:27 PM

What a great story. It made me smile at stupid am when I was trying to convince my 8 month old to go to sleep. Your daughter sounds like she has a great combination of sophisticated tastes and a desire not to let a drop go to waste (... after all, there are sober Scotsmen that would appreciate that!). Hope you had a great dinner

James, as much as we love watches I think 8 months may be slightly too young to try to get him into TRF!!!!

You're right. Finlay's a bit too young to appreciate the finer details but he appears captivated by them none the less (meanwhile TRF was helping me tune out the screaming)

You have my complete sympathy! Seb was a terrible sleeper for 6 months but thankfully sleep training did the trick for us. I'm sure we had a book to guide us through it. Let me know if you want the name of it.

Hope you and the family are all well

The name of the book would be brilliant, thanks.

Beyond lack of sleep everyone is good thanks. Hope you and your family are too. Have your feet recovered?

Looks like you all had a great time. It's nice to see she has learned from her father!

I need to look into to trying Faust for myself.

mjclark32 · 19 July 2017, 11:35 PM

she just wanted to give it an extra decanting

Looks like a great night out!
Will be me and my daughter in about 22 years

encarter13 · 20 July 2017, 12:36 AM

Very cool! Glad you had a good time.

Tri-Tip · 20 July 2017, 01:00 PM

$65 for Faust is a great deal, it's usually $100-$110.

Even better that your daughter knows so much about wine.

When I was barely drinking age, I was at a business dinner at a Morton's and we had a Magnum of something, it was probably about $300. My boss ordered a second bottle and made me do the tasting. I felt something wasn't right, so they called the manager over and he tasted and agreed. I was pretty impressed with myself over that one.

We have Mortons, Mastro, Capital Grill and very nice Steak houses in the hotels and I've only been to Capitol Grill but never had steak. I just can't do it, spending 50-70 on steak that I can cook for 2/3 cheaper in the back yard and just as good ( thanks Costco) Its very good service but I can't do it, I'll order fish or maybe lamb chops or a special soup and salad with appetizer.

I really struggle with wine too. I plan my dinners around if they do corkage. A lot on here know I love a bottle or 3 but marking up a 250.00 cost of wine 3 times really gets under my skin. I think 30-40 corkage is fair. They get you in food part and that's ok cause it envolves chefs, servers, kitchen help etc..

but not wine.

It's was some strange stuff going to Texas and being denied bringing some wine but there always a way to get around it.

Had a special guest and we opened this with pleasure

After 23 years in a bottle very special still and a real treat.

Very nice, my 14 year old niece is the same way. It helps that she lives on a vineyard surrounded by wineries and her whole family is in the business. Her palate is so refined, its hilarious to hear her describe the nose of a wine.

nyc2la · 21 July 2017, 04:10 AM

Great story and it sounds like a special day out with your daughter!

Runnin' Rebel · 21 July 2017, 07:29 AM

Thanks everyone.
She red wine girl for the most part so it's fun

She has a wine tasting with her friends last week. I wasn't buying 30.00 bottles at her age, that's for sure

She did a horizontal last week lo All Cab. All 2014
