However, if the restaurant does not have a license to sell alcoholic beverages, they can get a special permit that allows customers to bring their own bottle. There is a very nice restaurant in Putney (The Gleanery) that is BYOB that we frequent regularly. It is just off exit 4 on I-91.

  11/15/2013 3:08:00 PM - Hey, thanks for the comment Jim. I'm a big fan of dessert wines, particularly sauternes. I looked thru some of your notes and see we have some similar likes. I'll be checking out your wine consumption going forward.

• VTCellarDweller says:

  8/25/2013 2:06:00 PM - thanks, Jerwin. Proud you like my tasting notes. I see you appreciate Italian wines. You'll see that my highest score is for Modus 2007 form Ruffino. You should try to get a bottle (in Italy 30 eur) it is really outstanding. Best, Olrac62

  4/7/2013 8:49:00 AM - Thanks for your kind words. As for the SZ Pure Burg glasses, I have only had them for a week or so, but I love them. They have worked well with a variety of different wines I've tried (ironically none of them burgs). I loved my Top Ten full-bodied red glasses but broke my last one after having a 6-pack endure almost 10 years of daily use and runs through the dishwasher. I think I like these Burgs even better, because the bowl is more versatile for the kinds of wines I drink (more pinot and syrah based wines, fewer Bdx).
