And the R&C really makes a mean martini! We'll see how the Laguna Bar stacks up.

Originally Posted By danyoung If you really enjoyed it, Denise, look in your local wine store for a bottle of either Chateau Ste. Michelle or Chateau Ste. Chappelle Johannesburg Reisline. The Ste. Michelle comes from Washington state, while the Ste. Chappelle comes from my home state of Idaho (and no, it's not potato wine!). It's really the finest Reisling I've ever enjoyed! Good luck with your tooth!!!
Originally Posted By nbodyhome Thanks Dan! I plan to definitely check those out. I will see tomorrow what brand I bought, I've had it since last year - it has Neuschwenstein on the bottle (which is why I bought it). Denise

Originally Posted By nbodyhome I had a tooth removed today, one I don't have to have (thank goodness!) I'm on Advil and Extra strength Tylenol tonight. So the rest of that Riesling will have to wait until tomorrow! Denise
Originally Posted By danyoung >With an "all you can eat buffet" to go with that, right Danno?< Well, you gotta be careful to keep a balance when eating and drinking. It took me a long time to learn that at WDW. I'd have a HUGE dinner at the Coral Reef, and then be pissed off cuz there wasn't much room for martinis at the R&C. Now the goal is to eat the right amount, drink the right amount, and finish it all off with a fine cigar. I've got it all down to a science! And Denise, I'm hurting for you - please feel better fast!
Originally Posted By nbodyhome Thanks! I feel much better than I did yesterday. The dentist said I had a cracked root, but they were able to get me in fast and get it worked on right away. I should be better just in time to head to the Haunted Mansion opening tomorrow (if it does open on time!) Denise

First a half bootle of Riesling, next thing you know, your downing eight bottles of Ripple in a paper sack per day. >> Danny, it's good to see a Texan who drinks something other than beer! << The worst beer I ever had was wonderful! However a good Gin and Tonic is refreshing.
