As a quote from The pursuit of happYness, I just want to ask what do guys and gals do to get to where you are today, in order to enjoy such a marvelous life with wonderful wines?

Hmmm. The tragedy is that I can't actually afford to lead the lifestyle that I do.

And as far as wine goes, my philosophy is "I'll never be able to afford it, so I might as well buy it now..."

cheers,
Graeme

There is a sensible answer for you somewhere but why spoil a thread that just oozes silliness? :lol:

I started as a DINK, got hooked, now I'm DI2K and living beyond my means to support my wine collecting habit.

My philosophy is the same as Graeme's. Once high school and Uni fees etc kick in and if prices go up I'll never be able to afford it so I'm buying as much cellaring wine now as I can.

What is a DINK?

Hehehe, like Graeme and Ratcatcher said, I'm kinda similar too. While I'm young with no mortgage yet I'll try and get my grubby hands on some now before they start popping out if you know what i mean hehehe :lol:

I knew I knew you from somewhere when we met at that offline!

You were in "the Uncanny XXX Men" weren't you? Or was it "Shaving Ryan's Privates"?

Let's have another one of those. I went to Rapide the other night, and it was great. I'm also keen to check out Restaurant II and 2 Small Rooms (I've never been to either).

Restaurant II is very good! Was there not more than a fortnight ago. The crowd can be very special occasion, but they never let that get in the way of their professionalism. They had the 'truffle degustation' on last time. I'm a fan of truffles (but not truffle oil!) but can't stomach too much in one sitting. They happily substituted dishes and when they did use truffles were used sparingly. Wine list has a few interestings bottles too!

** Thanks rooview. Do you have any other recommendations for Brisbane restaurants? I think that Brisbane is something of a culinary wasteland

For Aussie/North European food, my favourites are Montrachet (simply the best), E'cco, Isis, and Rapide. I went to The Blue Frog the other night, and didn't care for it at all.

I don't know of anywhere that does excellent Thai food any more. Great Indian food is easy to find (just visit the nearest Sitar outlet).

Slim pickings for southern European. Avanti does good (but not great) Italian. Ahmet's and Caravanserai are both good for Turkish.

There are a couple of good Chinese/Vietnamese restaurants. "The Vietnamese Restaurant" in the valley is probably my pick.

For what it is, The Tibetan Kitchen is also pretty great.

I am interested in any and all cuisines.

Thanks,

Stuart

Still DINK but working towards BOBO

Urbane is incredible,small portions but cutting edge.

Other than that Alchemy, Cha Cha Char and Belle Eqpoque are pretty good.

Gianni's is supposed to be good but I haven't visited it myself yet.
