text: I have a beautiful TWC that just turned 2 years old a few days back. She is my best friend , but we are having some major issues. First, she has found every way to get out of our yard, digging under fences, opening gates and jumping them. At this point when she goes out side we have to put her on a chain, and I hate that. Next I also have trouble with her jumping on people come to the house. It's not just one jump, she gets herself so excited, and it takes a solid 20 minutes to get her behavior anywhere near manageable again. Please help! Thank you!

Nissan is recharging the idea of a production plug-in hybrid model. The Japanese automaker may start making a plug-in hybrid by as soon as late 2015, with deliveries to start in time for the 2016 model year, Green Car Reports says, citing an interview with company executive Andy Palmer. Those comments go against what Nissan said during the North American Auto Show in January.
Palmer didn't specify what class of vehicle the plug-in hybrid would be, but he said battery-electric vehicles are best suited for cars 3,850 pounds or lighter, according to Green Car Reports. That would imply that the plug-in hybrid powertrain may be used for a mid-sized sedan or a crossover vehicle. Either way, a Nissan PHEV may pair the Nissan Leaf's 108-horsepower electric motor with a gas engine. Whether Palmer's projected timeframe was more of a ballpark estimate is anyone's guess, as the company hasn't made official plans for a 2016 model-year plug-in hybrid, Nissan spokesman Tim Gallagher wrote in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen. Either way, feel free to join us in the comments below.
Nissan is coming off its best-ever sale month for the Leaf, which has moved about 115,000 units around the world. Domestic sales of the Leaf in May rose 46 percent from a year earlier to a monthly record 3,117 vehicles. Through the first five months of the year, Leaf sales increased 36 percent, to 10,389 units.

Read the decision: Ford Motor Co. [PDF 141 KB]
The taxpayer on several separate occasions—in September 1991, July 1992, and June 1994— remitted several hundred millions of dollars to the IRS, and specifically requested that the amounts be treated as deposits in the nature of a cash bond. The amounts were remitted after the IRS sent the taxpayer a 30-day letter of proposed tax deficiencies for tax years 1983–1989, 1992, and 1994.
Subsequently, the taxpayer requested that the IRS treat these remittances as advance payments—i.e., payments towards proposed (not yet assessed) tax deficiencies—rather than as deposits in the nature of a cash bond.
The IRS obliged, and the taxpayer effectively converted its deposits that were held in the nature of cash bonds into advance payments towards proposed past-due taxes.
It was later that the IRS determined that the taxpayer had actually overpaid its taxes for the years at issue, and refunded the overpayments. The refund amounts included overpayment interest—which the IRS calculated from the dates when the taxpayer had requested that its deposits be converted to advance payments.
The taxpayer, however, asserted that overpayment interest was due from earlier dates—that is, for the dates when the taxpayer remitted the deposits (in September 1991, July 1992, and June 1994). Thus, the taxpayer requested approximately $445 million in interest that had allegedly accrued on overpayments of its corporate income taxes for 1983–1989, 1992, and 1994.
The federal district court granted the government's motion for judgment on the pleadings, concluding that there could be no overpayment of tax—and therefore no overpayment interest accrual—until the taxpayer actually converted its deposits to advance payments.
On appeal, the Sixth Circuit today affirmed. The Sixth Circuit explained that for the years at issue, a deposit in the nature of a cash bond stopped potential underpayment interest from accruing, but that interest was not to be paid for the time that the IRS held the deposit.
Thus, the appeals court answered that overpayment interest did not accrue from the date of the initial remittance, but from the date when the taxpayer requested that the remittance be treated as an advance tax payment.
The case before the Sixth Circuit concerned tax years prior to the date of enactment of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, Pub. L. No. 108-357 (enacted October 22, 2004) which added new section 6603 to the Code to permit taxpayers to make a deposit with the IRS to suspend the running of interest under section 6601 on a potential underpayment of tax. Thus, a deposit may be made with respect to certain underpayments of tax that have not been assessed at the time of the deposit.
While the purpose of making payments in the nature of cash bonds or disputable tax deposits is to halt the running of underpayment interest, taxpayers need to consider their overall payment planning by reviewing the scope of overassessments and deficiencies that are likely to occur. This includes actions such as:

Braden pays close attention to tv commercials, and is sold on what they are advertising.
|Wed, 06-09-2010 - 11:45am
Owen hasn't seemed to pay a lot of attention until just recently. He still doesn't ask me to buy things, but he quotes commercials at me. For example, I rubbed my eyes the other day and he asked, "Do you have itchy, allergy eyes?" I said yes and then he told me, "You need some relief." That's clearly wording he's picked up from somewhere!
|Thu, 06-10-2010 - 1:59am
it's funny actually, my kids did not notice commercials until just this past fall.
|Tue, 06-15-2010 - 1:31pm
Lana is also really in tune with TV commercials!
She must have heard some Toyota commercial, because out of the blue the other day she said "you know Mommy, Toyota is still good." And this morning there was an ad on for a Six Flags, and she said "Mom! They have KIDS prices!" She esp. likes jingles. There is this super annoying one for 1877 Kars for Kids, and I'll hear her singing to herself "1877 kars for kids, k-a-r-s kars for kidssss".

As we enter another holiday shopping season, look back at the popular holiday gifts that sent consumers a-tramplin over the years.
2013: Fitbit -- If it seemed like everyone you knew was getting a Fitbit for Christmas last year, many of them really were. Sales of the wearable health tracking devices surged in the final weeks of the holiday shopping season.
2012: Ugg boots -- A huge trend nearly 10 years earlier, these sheepskin boots made a comeback to top iPads as the most popular holiday gift of 2012.
2011: Let's Rock Elmo -- This Elmo didn't just laugh or babble. The hottest toy of Christmas 2011, Let's Rock Elmo came with a mic, tambourine and drum set and can sing versions of "What I Like About You" and "It Takes Two."
2010: Apple iPad -- It's the first of its kind: a slim tablet that lets you seamlessly glide between movies, music and browsing the Web. With Wi-Fi and 3G, everything from racing simulators to magazines are just a touch away.
2009: Nook eReader -- Barnes & Noble's e-book had a second screen while Amazon's Kindle has just one. Throw in its Wi-Fi and the Nook was set for a Christmas KO.
2007-08: Apple iPod Touch -- The first touchscreen and Web-enabled iPod went from annual fanboy fantasy to national must-have, largely because it came at a fraction of the iPhone's price tag.
2006: PlayStation 3 -- Sony's response to Microsoft's Xbox 360 inspired such anticipation that pre-sale units hit $3,000 on eBay (retail topped out at $599), while mothers and mouth-breathers alike camped out for days to buy one in person.
2005: XBox 360 -- Xbox 360 started production a mere 69 days before its launch. Customers lucky or savvy enough to recognize the potential profits of Microsoft's dilemma cashed in, as 40,000 units ended up on eBay within a week.
2004: RoboSapiens -- The remote-control, 14-inch-tall humanoid robot was capable of performing 67 preprogrammed actions and movements, including break dancing, farting and belching.
2002-03: Beyblades -- Hasbro released these customizable "fighting" spin-tops in Japan simultaneously with a hit cartoon. World domination followed soon thereafter.
2001: Bratz dolls -- 10-inch "teenagers distinguished by large heads and skinny bodies" -- were an instant hit. By Christmas 2001, they were well on their way to generating billions.
2000: Razor Scooters -- The original Razor scooter won Toy of the Year for establishing itself as a "classic mode of transportation, like bikes and skateboards."
1999: Pokemon -- With the Japanese cartoon a sensation, kids demanded more, and the video-game series came to rival even the Mario titles in popularity, inspiring "South Park" to parody the whole phenomenon.
1998: Furbies -- After retailing for $35, Furbies skyrocketed to $100 a pop, not to mention "collector's items" like "tuxedo Furby" and "biker Furby."
1997: Tamagotchi -- Housed in an egg-shaped computer, these digital pets required feeding and poo-cleaning, but the hard work paid off with the occasionally redeeming happiness monitor. An estimated 70 million Tamagotchis have been sold to date.
1996: Tickle Me Elmo -- When squeezed, Elmo would chortle. When squeezed three times in a row, Elmo would begin to shake and laugh hysterically. Needless to say, this was something Sesame Street watchers everywhere needed to have -- now.
1995: Beanie Babies -- First conquering Chicago and then spreading nationwide, Legs the Frog, Squealer the Pig, Spot the Dog, Flash the Dolphin, Splash the Whale, Chocolate the Moose, Patti the Platypus, and dozens of other $5 bean-bag creatures devoured our hearts.
1993-94: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers -- Five racially diverse teenagers with superpowers fought evil aliens for a TV smash, and so came a line of toys featuring the Rangers and their "Zords" -- the giant robotic dinosaurs they used to combat the evil aliens.
1992: Barney Talking Doll -- "Barney & Friends" was aimed at a younger crowd that found it irresistible to watch a man in a purple dinosaur suit sing. The talking doll brought the tunes all day long.
1991: POG -- It may have the least likely Christmas smash: a milk-cap game played during breaks by Hawaiian dairy workers. A two-person contest involving a flimsy discs and a slammer, POGs gave kids the chance to take their friend's Christmas present supply away in minutes.
1990: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles -- Adolescent abnormal reptiles Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo discovered the ancient art of Ninjutsu from a giant talking rat to fight ninjas while eating pizza.
1989: Nintendo GameBoy -- The first eight-bit handheld video game system to utilize cartridges, GameBoy went anywhere and didn't force you to play the same game over and over again.

Every year in December, the hamlet of Wieda in the Harz region is transformed. Twenty life-sized manger scenes appear in gardens and garages, depicting the birth of Jesus in a stable in Bethlehem, the source of the Christian Christmas festival.
As Bethlehem gears up for the biggest day of the year when thousands of tourists flock to the West Bank's cradle of Christianity, the West Bank town is still reeling from a severe storm and economic uncertainty.
The Berlin they grew up in was completely different, run by either the Nazis or the communists. As the Prenzlauer Berg neighborhood now gentrifies, DW's Leah McDonnell speaks with those who were there first.
When it comes to grace, you might expect Berlin to transcend its littler Latin sister, Buenos Aires. Quite the opposite, says a Berlin native just back from Argentina's capital.
Berlin is a match for many cities in many things - and its admittedly modest yuletide illuminations are no exception. DW's Tamsin Walker is enchanted by the understated approach to the seasonal festival of lights.

The imgSeek image viewer
The imgSeek image viewer offers a unique alternative to the non-intuitive norm of searching by filename: you can find an photo based on motif.
The human mind can remember visual images much easier than it can remember facts and figures. This was the motivation for the imgSeek program (http:// imgseek. python-hosting. com), which groups image files according to motif. As an example, imagine you are looking for all the images in your collection that show a palm tree. You can simply feed an image of a palm tree to imgSeek, and the program will find all similar images. Alternatively, you can just sketch the motif you are looking for using the integrated painting tool, and imgSeek will present you with everything that resembles your sketch. Of course, imgSeek can still group images by file and directory names, creation data, or metadata entries. imgSeek can also export image collections to HTML files to help you set up a website, or it can populate a CD that you can then easily view in a browser.

Police: Drunken woman arrested in hit-and-run
Updated On: Feb 18 2013 02:20:08 PM CST
Madison police said they arrested an intoxicated woman in a hit-and-run crash after she ran out of gas Friday night.
A 24-year-old Madison man said he was driving on Williamson Street and was about to turn onto to South Ingersoll Street when he was rear-ended by another car.
Police said the man tried to pull over to talk with the driver, but she drove around him, striking his car again, and then sped off.
The victim provided the license plate of the woman's vehicle to police.
Residents living near North Fourth Street and East Johnson Street called for police around 11:30 p.m. Friday after an intoxicated woman started knocking on doors, according to a Madison Police Department incident report.
Police said that when officers found her, she was back in her damaged car. She said she had run out of gas.
Police said they identified the woman's car as the one reported in the hit-and-run crash.
The suspect, identified as Dawn M. Derouin, 35, of Madison, was combative and "mule kicked" one arresting officer in the left thigh area, close to the groin, as he and others struggled to her in a squad car, according to the incident report.
Police said Derouin was arrested on tentative charges of hit-and-run, operating while intoxicated -- second offense, two counts of disorderly conduct and operating while revoked.

Ideas for an awesome birthday cake flavor?
I'm looking for ideas for a big layer cake for a milestone birthday. An adult flavor that isn't completely unapproachable by kids (espresso or super-butter chocolate, for example). We wil lalso be supplementing the cake with mini berry tarts, so I need ideas that would not overlap too much.
Any interesting riffs on chocolate? Interesting combinations/fillings/frosting?
Thanks in advance :)
A co-worker made this for a work party. Amazing. I brought a piece home for my then 9 year old and he loved it too.
re: foodieX2
Did the version you have, include all 6 layers? Im wondering if Ic an simplify to have only three layers (ie 2 layers of the caramel). What about the frosting, was that particularly good as well?
re: foodieX2
A friend of mine made this for our Thanksgiving potluck one year and it was indeed good. Rich, but delicious, and very impressive looking.
re: foodieX2
That looks really good. I made a similar cake, fewer layers, for my husband's birthday and of the 4 cakes I made, that was the surprise hit. I used rum in the salted caramel.
If you're willing to put in time, I love this chocolate hazelnut souffle cake (with Nutella mousse--can't beat that!) that I posted here. It has a hazelnut meringue base, nutella mousse filling, chocolate cake, chocolate ganache.
re: chowser
This looks amazing. Would it allow for "happy birthday" writing on top?
Making a traditional Smith Island cake would be very impressive--10 thin yellow layers and cooked chocolate frosting
I am making the campfire cake from sweetapolita for a 50 th birthday tomorrow, that and the Tartine strawberry lime Bavarian cake. I think they are both very different so will compliment each other. I even made my own marshmallows and marshmallow fluff. 'they' say it is not too sweet, fingers crossed.
Maybe focus on textures than flavor? Kids always love the usual - chocolate, yellow, white, strawberry, etc. Maybe you could vary your cake types (wafer, puff pastry, sponge, meringue) and fillings (mousse, whipped cream) to make it more for adults.
Of course this involves a few types of recipes but if you have the time it could be fun and tasty).
Last year the Spouse celebrated a milestone birthday and asked for a "special" cake. It turned out to be a chocolate cake filled with banana bavarian. I coated it in ganache and decorated it with chocolate stars dusted with gold dust. Quite adult, but my kid thought it was fantastic.
I recently made a delicious Chocolate Nutella Buttercream cake. This is only a 2 layer cake but the chocolate ganache in the center and nutella buttercream frosting definitely kicks it up a notch.
My husband gets a mocha dacquoise for his birthday, compiled with recipes for meringue disks from Nick Malgieri, and buttercream and ganache from Martha Stewart. You can make those components separately however you like, then it's really just a construction job. My son gets chow.com's Vanilla Bean Cake with Salted Caramel Frosting. The recipe is for cupcakes, but we make it into a cake-cake sometimes. That frosting is scrape-the-bowl good.

Gender Identity Is Not A Disorder
By Kathleen LaTosch
Originally printed 12/13/2012 (Issue 2050 - Between The Lines News)
On Dec. 3 the American Psychology Association announced that it is replacing "Gender Identity Disorder" with the more neutral and less-stigmatizing title, "gender dysphoria" in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, more commonly known as the DSM.
The DSM is the mental health professional's diagnostic book. Psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and counselors all use this book to assign a diagnostic code to mental health disorders. These codes are then used to bill insurance for proper medical treatment and are often required to justify covering the cost of office visits, prescriptions, and needed medical procedures. It's critical in the healthcare of someone who is transgender. Perhaps at no other time in one's life is it more important to have quality healthcare than during a gender transition.
The change comes after decades of advocacy to remove the more stigmatizing diagnosis which equates one's own gender identity with a mental health disorder - "Gender Identity Disorder". Being transgender is not a mental health condition and it's not abnormal. There is no normal - normalcy is only what one perceives as common in his/her own existence. If I grow up a white woman in a middle-class Catholic neighborhood, that's my normal. If a lot of women grow up the same way around me, it's common. But we're not normal for everyone, just for us. If I grow up Arab American in Dearborn and all my friends are bilingual and go to the same church and celebrate the same holidays, that's my normal.
Being transgender is not abnormal. It's just not as common and it's doesn't appear en masse within families and communities. It can be a very isolated and isolating experience. And it's not a mental health disorder. It's like being born red-haired in a blonde, black and brown-haired world. Or at least it should be but it's not - red-haired people aren't kicked out of their homes, fired from their jobs, abused on the street, and denied basic human dignity.
Having to cope with the societal stigma of gender transition drives many mental health concerns for transgender individuals. Layer hormone therapy and other medical issues on top of that and it's a difficult and uncommon territory to navigate. Seeing a professional to sort through all that can help, but it comes with a cost - the cost of having that mental health diagnosis attached to your name, the cost of being "outed" to every other person who comes into contact with your medical record.
And how do you find a therapist who understands these same truths - that there's nothing abnormal about being transgender, that it's a personal characteristic. How do you find someone who understands that the anxiety you are dealing with is caused by societal stigma and not caused by your gender identity? It's not easy.
Last week Affirmations brought together leading Michigan experts on LGBT mental health in what's been called a queer mental health "think tank." After months of work, The LGBT Mental Health Task Force led the first ever two-day training on Clinical Issues & Sexual Orientation for therapists. It was sold out with a waiting list for the next training. This March, they are forging even newer territory - putting together the first two-day training on Clinical Issues & Gender Identity for therapists and counselors. It will be the first such training offered in Michigan. On the heels of the APA's new announcement, there is no better time to be preparing mental health professionals to competently and knowledgeably provide services to our transgender community members.

DEFINITION of 'Economic Growth'
An increase in the capacity of an economy to produce goods and services, compared from one period of time to another. Economic growth can be measured in nominal terms, which include inflation, or in real terms, which are adjusted for inflation. For comparing one country's economic growth to another, GDP or GNP per capita should be used as these take into account population differences between countries.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Economic Growth'
Economic growth is usually associated with technological changes. An example is the large growth in the U.S. economy during the introduction of the Internet and the technology that it brought to U.S. industry as a whole. The growth of an economy is thought of not only as an increase in productive capacity but also as an improvement in the quality of life to the people of that economy.

San Francisco Giants: Bochy Shows Support For Alex Smith, 49ers
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith was originally fined $15,000 by the NFL for wearing a San Francisco Giants hat during Sunday's postgame press conference, following the 49ers' victory over the Detroit Lions. Smith's fine of $15,000 was rescinded, and the NFL instead gave a warning to the 49ers quarterback. The rule states that no player may wear non-sponsored gear more »

San Francisco 49ers: Is It Super Bowl or Bust This Season?
The San Francisco 49ers are among the favorites to win the 2013 Super Bowl, and with that comes some lofty expectations and immense pressure. The pressure comes in the form of fans expecting them to win week after week, judging by the 13-3 2012 season in which head coach Jim Harbaugh pushed all the right buttons, quarterback Alex Smith threw more »
San Francisco 49ers: Why Alex Smith Will Still Be Limited This Season
The San Francisco 49ers were arguably one wide receiver away from advancing to the Super Bowl in 2012, so the organization added Randy Moss, Mario Manningham and rookie A.J. Jenkins. However, giving quarterback Alex Smith more weapons is not going to turn him in to something he simply is not — especially if his head coach is still Jim Harbaugh. more »
What to Expect From The 49ers Going Into Training Camp
The San Francisco 49ers went from being one of the worst teams in the NFL to the NFC Championship game last season and are looking to continue on that roll as a real powerhouse and contender in the NFC.

Vernon Davis Poised For Greatness
On October 26th, 2008 the San Francisco 49ers lost to the Seattle Seahawks 34-13.

Is Alex Smith ready to take the next step in 2012?
The San Francisco 49ers are one of the favorites to win this year's Super Bowl, we do know that much.

San Francisco 49ers: Jim Harbaugh Calls Peyton Manning Rumors "Silly and Untrue"
Jim Harbaugh went out of his way on Wednesday to set the record straight on the San Francisco 49ers and the offseason Peyton Manning rumors.

Paris, Burgundy and Champagne - Preliminary food itinerary - Advise requested!
- b
- bethandben Jan 13, 2011 10:27 AM
My husband and I are visiting Paris, Burgundy and Champagne in the early spring and based on the help of many of your posts, I have put together the following preliminary food itinerary for us. For point of reference, we live in NYC and enjoy foods that range from the high end to the great but inexpensive sandwich shop. We are looking for a mix of food experiences in France, however, we do not eat pork, organ meats or poultry but love all seafood and other meat (i.e., if cote de boeuf is on the menu we will likely order it), so pre-set menus without any flexibility/choice generally do not work for us. Also, trying not to cram in 2 huge meals in one day and trying to hit a range of price points. Here goes....looking forward to any advise, comment or critique...please let me know what I'm missing!
Paris (staying in the 6th for 3 nights and in the 8th the following weekend):
Fri Breakfast/Lunch (after redeye from NY) - grab and go crepes/baguettes/cheeses/etc.
Fri Dinner - Chez L'Ami Jean
Sat Lunch - Le Cinq
Sat Dinner - Garnier for oysters/raw bar
Sun Lunch - Saint Germain/Raspail/Bastille Market
Sun Dinner - La Cagouille
following weekend:
Sat Dinner - La Regalade St. Honore
Sun Lunch - L'Atelier de Joel Rubuchon
Sun Dinner - L'Ami Louis
Thinking maybe L'Ami Jean, Regalade St. Honore and L'Ami Louis are too similar.....
Burgundy (staying outside of Beaune for 2 nights and Chablis for 1 night)
Mon Lunch - open
Mon Dinner - Ma Cuisine (how far in advance should I try for a reservation?)
Tues Lunch - open
Tues Dinner - Hostellerie de Levernois
Wed Lunch - open
Wed Dinner in Chablis - Maybe Hostellerie des Clos but read many mixed reviews? Other suggestions?
Unsure about lunches in Burgundy and very open to suggestions; read about Olivier Leflaive wine lunch but while the wine sounds great, I'm hesitant about the food. Do any wineries do wine tastings with lunch?
Champagne (staying in Reims)
Thurs Lunch - Assiette Champenoise
Thurs Dinner - Brasserie Flo? Other ideas for a light dinner in Reims?
Fri Lunch in Epernay - hoping to grap some cheese and bread from a market? other light lunch ideas in Epernay for between visits to Champagne houses?
Fri Dinner - Le Parc at Les Crayeres
Thanks in advance!
"Burgundy (staying outside of Beaune for 2 nights and Chablis for 1 night)
Mon Lunch - open
Mon Dinner - Ma Cuisine (how far in advance should I try for a reservation?)"
1 week. 10 days to be safe.
Your choice for Burgundy - and elsewhere - is good. But you may want to bear in mind that Burgundy cuisine is quite rich. One good resto meal per day is quite enough. I know I can't possibly dine out twice a day in the kind good restos on your list. We did that once and simply did not enjoy it.
On warmer days I would have suggested a picnic...
Lastly, you realize that the distance between Chablis and Beaune is not great. If I were you, I would keep just one base - Beaune - instead of two, for logistical reasons and because I despise packing and unpacking.
Bon séjour.
re: Parigi
Thanks for the quick reply. I was thinking that the extent of dining out may be too ambitious and I appreciate the advise and I am hoping to be able to find places to grab small bites (not necessarily sit down meals). I love the idea of picnics, although it may be questionable whether it will be warm enough (last week in march/first week in april). Do you have recommendations for places or markets to go in the Burgundy area or Champagne region for small bites (lunch or dinner) for those other meals?
As for the distance between Beaune and Chablis, I was thinking that by staying in Chablis it would break up the drive from Beaune to Reims, which I believe I looked up to be around 4 hours. We are not fully set on the night in Chablis though....
re: bethandben
"Do you have recommendations for places or markets to go in the Burgundy area or Champagne region for small bites (lunch or dinner) for those other meals?"
Both Dijon and Beaune have a good market. For their market days, see:
re: ChefJune
Thanks, I will look into that. Do you have any recommendations for more casual places to eat in Chablis or any recommended wineries to visit that are open to the public for tastings?
re: bethandben
My favorite winery in Chablis is Domaine Laroche, and they will gladly welcome you for tours and tastings. Their "home:" is an old abbey, the Abbaye de l'Obedience. and the tour is fascinating... not to mention the delicious wines. ;-D
Most wineries are available to you if you contact them in advance and make an appointment. Others are only available to the trade. Domaine Francois Raveneau is among those, sadly.
re: ChefJune
ChefJune: Have you stayed at La Cote St. Jacques? If so, how was it? I am trying to decide between an overnight there or at Le Relais Bernard Loiseau? Both look so wonderful...I would appreciate any insights you can share. Thanks!
re: lecker
I have not stayed at either, but I have seen the accommodations at both. My niece and nephew stayed at Cote St. Jacques. Both are very luxurious.
I have to say I'm a bit partial to the Lorain family, though...
re: ChefJune
ChefJune: Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately my initial plans have taken a major change so I will not be heading towards that area of France this time around. But based on your reply, I have noted Loiseaux as a place to hit the next time we head that way. Three more days until France; so excited!
re: lecker
Bon Voyage! Have a wonderful trip.
re: ChefJune
re: fanoffrance
Have you (or anyone else) been to both Lemeloise and to Hostellerie de Levernois? During the time that we are in the area we will probably only want to do one restaurant like that. Fanoffrance (or anyone else), can you provide a comparison of the two restaurants? Note that we will be staying at the Hostellerie de Levernois so that may play into things too.
re: bethandben
I had dinner at Levernois once. I enjoyed it a lot, but would definitely prefer Lameloise if I had to choose one. Compared to Lameloise, Levernois struck me as simpler, less imaginative and distinctive, just standard excellent food. Also, I don't like the decoration of the dining room at Levernois.
I also agree with Parigi, "...you may want to bear in mind that Burgundy cuisine is quite rich. One good resto meal per day is quite enough." A couple of lunch possibilities in Beaune that are quick and good are Le Carnot on Place Monge (oddly has good pizzas - also good soup/salad bistro fare) and Crep' Anges near the Place Madeliene. Le Gourmandin on Place Carnot is also a place where you can get a full meal or just a little and still feel comfortable. Finally, Cheval Noir just across from Jardin des Remparts has great food and you can feel free to order as much or as little as you want. Picnic is a great option too. Some cheese from Alain Hess, some bread from 3 Epis, fruit from the market, and of course wine!
You said, "read about Olivier Leflaive wine lunch but while the wine sounds great, I'm hesitant about the food. Do any wineries do wine tastings with lunch?"
Why hesitatant about the food? It is not the best you'll ever have, but it is good and complements the wines well. Other wineries with table d'hotes are Comte Senard in Aloxe Corton and Pierre Bouree in Gevry-Chambertin.
"Ma Cuisine (how far in advance should I try for a reservation?)" - you can reserve early without them thinking it's odd - so as soon as you know you're dates it would be fine. I'd contact them at least 2-3 weeks before if it is a holiday weekend, but usually not too much of an issue on a Monday. I always reconfirm a few days before, but that is just my habit with all restos.
I'll also second ChefJune on Domain Laroche in Chablis. Great stuff and very nice people! Chablis is very different from most of Burgundy in that there are some bigger places there that are all open for tasting without reservations - e.g. Laroche, Wm. Fevre, Chablisienne (sp?), and Bichot/Long DePaquit.
Again agree with June on the wine tastings in Burgundy, most places (other than the really big guys like DRC) will welcome you for a tasting by appointment. Usually you can arrange it all by email. Some stop in /no appointment places in Beaune are Patriarche and Caveau des Cordeliers (these are both the whole self tasting/wandering in the wine cellar experience) near Beaune in Aloxe are Michel-Voarick (AWESOME wines), Corton Andre, and Proprieters de Aloxe-Corton (kind of snotty folks here in my book).
Hope this helps!
re: DaTulip
Thank you so much! That is a great wealth of information and exactly what I was hoping for! I had planned to visit Michel-Voarick and I am happy to see your enthusiasm too!
re: Pamdixon1
Thanks although it's really all from reading everyone else's helpful tips and reviews! I will definitely post a report when we return.
A few other things that we are thinking about, and would appreciate any comments or critiques, are a possible lunch at Kitchen Galerie Bis. Also we switched dinners at La Regalade St. Honore and Chez L'Ami Jean b/c I hadn't realized the La Regalade was not open on Saturday. We are also still on the fence about L'Ami Louis.
We are considering visits to the following wineries in Burgundy: Meursault, Pommard, Joseph Voillot, Michel Voarick, Trapet, Bertagna, Armelle et Bernard Rion, Tollot-Beaut and Pierre Andrew. If anyone has visited these wineries and has any feedback that is appreciated.
As for champagne houses, we are hoping to visit Tattinger, Veuve Clicquot, Ruinart, Krug, Gaston Chiquet, Alfred Gratien, Dom Perignon, Ployez Jacquemart, Canard-Duchene and Vilmart et Cie. Again, any feedback is appreciated! We love champagne and are hoping to visit a cross-section of houses, although I have found this to be somewhat limited as to what is open to the public (and not just limited to those in the trade).
Of course I also have notes on other chowhounders picks for baguettes, croissants, crepes and macarons and we are very much looking forward to indulging!
re: bethandben
I think I mentioned earlier that Pommery has probably the most spectacular cellar tour of any of the Champagne houses. If you haven't read Don & Petie Kladstrup's book, "Champagne," you MUST read it before you go. It delves deep ibto the history and survival of the Champenois and their exceptional wine in the face of multiple invasions and 2 World Warx. The Germans stored their tanks in the Pommery cellar during the war, driving them up and down the long stairway entrance daily. This truly is something you shouldn't miss, even if their Champagne isn't the top of the top. Cuvee Louise is, however, quite lovely.
re: ChefJune
Thanks - in fact I did have Pommery on my list but mistakingly left it off my list above! And I will look into the book too...sounds very interesting! Do you know if I would need an appointment for Cuvee Louise in advance?
re: bethandben
At Pommery, you pay for your tour based upon the Champagnes you want to taste at the end. I believe it's a little more $ if you want to include Cuvee Louise. We didn't.
re: ChefJune
Thanks. By the way, upon your advice I read the book Champagne; very interesting read and it made me even more excited for our upcoming trip!
re: bethandben
Hi Beth and Ben,
Are you back from your trip? I'm also from NY going to France in June. Would love to hear what you liked and didn't like about your trip! I hope you had a great time!
For a nice lunch in Epernay, check out La Table Kobus, which is in the shadow of the main church. We happened upon it and it was one of the nicest surprises we had. We had been prepared for a pretty basic lunch after not really seeing many great restaurant options in Reims or Epernay. Kobus was warm and inviting, in the way that really old, family-run restaurants can be. On a weekday for lunch, it was about half-full, so we were seated quickly. The other tables were all locals, not that there were many tourists in Epernay on a weekday in February, of course. Everything we ate was very good, but the rose-scented creme brulee for dessert was outstanding. My wife ranked it among the top desserts she ate on our trip, which is no small praise coming from her.
re: glutton
Here's a "second" on that: We also had a fine lunch at "La Table Kobus," http://la-table-kobus.fr/ a few years ago. (And it's not listed in Michelin, which reminds us: The red guide is useful, but not a bible.)
re: Jake Dear
Jake, you bring up an interesting fact, its not in the printed guide, but is shown as 2 crossed spoons in the online version. I find the online version much more useful and up to date when planning where to eat. And we have found most of the B&B and gites we've booked have wifi, so accessing Michelin is not a problem.
re: BlueOx
BlueOx, thanks -- yes indeed I now see it listed on line. Speaking of on line, do you -- or does anyone else -- have experienece with the viamichelin "app" for France?
I've often used the viaMichelin (free) web site, but it's quite cumbersome to use on an iPhone, and so I'm wondering if the app is appreciably more "user friendly" -- in which case I should take the big plunge and spring for it ($10). -- Jake
Hostellerie des Clos has, as it should, a wonderful Chablis list, even in half bottles. Our party of 6 last time through drank 5 whole bottles and 3 halves. Food other than a great piece of Charolais filet was not overly inspired. Unless you eat like Uhockey, no way you can do Ami Louis after Atelier du Robuchon.
re: Delucacheesemonger
Good point about Ami Louis after Robuchon probably being a bit much. I think that since I knew that it would be our last night in Paris I set my sights high......
As of now, the night before we have a reservation at L'Ami Jean (switched nights between Regalade St. Honore and L'Ami Jean after realizing that Regalade was closed on Saturday), although the recent thread on this site has me rethinking that.
