So, after 3 weeks into my new gig at Balaban's, here are some thoughts:
No surprise: the people are great and the food is incredible
No surprise: I'm seeing lots of old customers and friends, and meeting bunches of Balaban's loyalists who I did not know. Hopefully, they too will become friends.
No surprise: I knew we had a library of older vintage wines from some of the world's best producers.
HUGE SURPRISE: I had no idea the library of wines was this amazing. Bryant, Chave, Gaja, Grange, Guigal, Harlan, Insignia, Montelena, Shafer, Solaia - and on and on.
Very cool.
One last thought ....
It's great to be here.
