The Phrase “Back Into The Wind Cold” is Coined
HOW COLD IS IT ?
Dam it’s Cold out!
“IT’S BACK INTO THE WIND COLD,” Daniel Zwicke said as he walk back home to his Greenwich Village apartment on Thursday afternoon December 15, 2016 . The temperature outside on the Island of Manhattan was 23 degrees. Yes it was cold, but with Winds gusting at 40 MPH it was quite bone-chilling-cold with the real feel temperature at a freezing 6 degrees with The Wind Chill Factor calculated in. It was Fucking Cold Out, or best-selling cookbook author coined the phrase for the first time in recorded history, it was “Back into the Wind Cold,” for that’s literally what Daniel said he did as he walked down Minetta Street as the blistering cold wind blew in his face. Daniel says that it was so cold with the strong winds blowing into his face that just as he had done since walking to school as a young boy in East Rutherford New Jersey, he simply turned his back into the wind to help keep his un-protected face a bit warmer against the freezing cold wind on that December day in the year 2016 .
Daniel was all bundled up with a pair of Levis jeans, a T-Shirt, a long sleeve Tee over that with another shirt over that and a very thick and warm wool cardigan shawl sweater over that. Daniel had his Barbour Jacket covering those 4 Layers, a scarf around his neck with a wool knit cap and gloves, along with a pair of Chuck Taylor Converse Sneakers. Yes Daniel was all bundled up and ready for the bitter cold, yet one thing he was missing. Something to cover his face. Well he was in pretty good shape and not that cold at all, all except that after walking 7 blocks from the cafe at the Marlton Hotel, Daniel’s face started getting cold. So cold that as he walked the final two blocks to his house, Daniel just had to put his back into the wind to help things along.
This our friends is a story of the way that fair city New York can sometimes be Back into the Wind Cold.

Caffe Reggio New York
Caffe Reggio is a New York City coffeehouse first opened in 1927 at 119 Macdougal Street in the heart of Manhattan’s Greenwich Village.
Italian cappuccino was introduced in America by the founder of Caffe Reggio, Domenico Parisi, in the early 1920s.[1] Inside the cafe, against the back wall, there is still the original espresso machine, made in 1902, that Domenico Parisi bought with his savings when he opened the cafe in 1927.
The Caffe Reggio has been featured in many movies, including The Godfather Part II, Next Stop, Greenwich Village, The Kremlin Letter, Shaft, Serpico, The Next Man, In Good Company, Inside Llewyn Davis and others. Many celebrities have been spotted or photographed in this location. In 1959, presidential hopeful John F. Kennedy made a speech outside the coffee shop. In 2010, the cafe was honored with a Village Award[2] by the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation for its status as a beloved and essential part of the neighborhood.
Caffe Reggio has a bench from a palazzo of the Florentine Medici family of Renaissance fame. The bench is not roped-off and guests can sit on it and admire a painting from an artist of the school of Caravaggio.

Bourbon Old Fashion Cocktail
An Old Fashion and New Orleans. Two things I Love dearly. And drinking Old Fashions in New Orleans and Bourbon Old Fashions to be more specific is a favorite pastime of mine, especially at such fine Bars as Napoleon House, The Long Bar at Tujague’s, or at Arnaud’s and Galatoire’s.
The first thing i order from my waiter at my beloved Galatoire’s is a Bourbon Old Fashion. They make them perfectly here, muddling an Orange Slice with sugar, Maraschino Cherry, Soda, and Angostora Bitters before filling the glass with Ice and adding my Bourbon. The waiter brings my Old Fashion and I’m in Heaven. I’m at Galatoire’s in New Orleans. It’s one of my favorite restaurants in the World. I have my drink, sitting in the main dining room looking the menu over. “Oh Bliss.”
What to have for lunch. Shall I get a Gumbo, Raw Oysters, or Oysters Rockefeller to start? Decisions, Decisions! And my main Course? Trout Almondine, Shrimp Clemenceau, or Filet Mignon topped with Fried Oysters and Hollandaise. Think I’ll go for a Cup of Gumbo, followed by the Oysters Rockefellor, and Trout Almondine for my main. They should go with my Bourbon Old Fashion quite nicely.
What, “No Wine with Your Meal,” you ask. knowing what a Wine freak I am.
“No, not in New Orleans my friends.” I do not drink Wine in the Cresent City. It’s all pretty much Cocktails when I’m down there, maybe a Beer or two, but no Wine what-so-ever in New Orleans for me. Hey it’s the way to go in New Orleans. That’s what you do down there, Cocktails are preferred throughout the meal over Wine. And that’s fine by me. It just seems to go better. My Bourbon Old Fashion and all the fine Creole Cuisine. I Love it.
So, if you’re ever down there, in that wonderful city on the Mississippi, New Orleans, go to Galatoire’s, Antoine’s, Arnauds’s. Order yourself a nice Lunch or Dinner, and don’t forget to get a couple Bourbon Old Fashions to go with your meal. It’s a match made in Heaven, Creole Food and an Old Fashion in New Orleans, Louisiana. “Do it.”

Robert Parker ‘s Bad Wine Advice
Robert Parker
Most Wine Drinkers may not know this, but they’d be well advised not to ever listen to Robert Parker and his ill-advised wine news-letter The Wine Advocate. Not if they want the best wine drinking experience possible and they want to choose a good wine to go with their meal, they will not follow the horribly detramental wine drinking advice and reviews that Robert Parker gives on wine. The kind of wines Parker loves the most are overly-oaked, Overly-Rich, heavily concentrated wine that are crafted to be Heavy Thick Full Bodied Oaky Fruit-Bomb Wines that un-naturally made wine that are awful to drink with food. The Wines that Parker likes clash with food instead of complimenting it. If it was up to Robert Parker he’d have all the wines in the World tasting like over-manipulated, big, fat powerful wines like California Cabernets and Meritage Blends instead of wonderful food complementary wines such as; true Chianti, Barolo, Brunello, Beaujlais, some Bordeaux wines and the like. Wines that go well with food instead of clashing with it as many of the so-called Parkerized Wines do. The man has ruined the publics perception to what good wine is and should be. The public thinks because he is a famous wine writer, that he knows best and what he’s talking about. Maybe he does, but the style of wine he likes, well, they are quite questionable.
If the general public wants the best wine drinking experience possible, they’d be wise to steer clear of The Wine Advocate and any wine advice dished out by Mr. Parker.
Robert Parker’s advice on wine is advice that steers and influences peoples perceptions of what great wine is, into a quite a bad, almost one-dimensional place of homogenized overly thick un-natural wines. People should stop taking advice of Robert Parker and the World of Wine would be a much better place, a place of real more natural wines that is. So ladies and gentlemen you should know the Robert Parker’s wine-advice SUCKS to put it mildly. Robert Parker and his wine reviews, and Ratings of Wine quite literally Suck The Big One.
If you want to be true to the local terroir of where ever any particular wine might come from, in other words, Chianti should taste like Chianti, Barolo should taste like Barolo, and Bordeaux like Bordeaux and not like a “Big Fat” California or Autralian Cabernet or Meritage Blended Wine and such.
People should drink wines that go great with food and are “Real Natural Wines” the kind of Wines that were made for 100 of years and still are except for those wines made by owners who have fallen into to whole Robert Parker “Spin Doctor” realm and make “Overly-Concentrated Wine” that taste fake and un-natural, they are manipulated and are the kind of wines that Parker loves and gives High 90 Plus Ratings to. These wines all sell very well and demand high inflated prices because most people are followers and unable to make up their own minds so they listen to Svengali and buy these over-rated manipulated wines bolstered by Robert Parker and his terrible twist on wine. Many wine-makers want to jump on the Band Wagon and sell more wine at the highest prices, thus the dilemma of Parker and his terrible influence on the Wine World.
So people I urge you to drink real wine. Drink real Chianti (not any that contain Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot), drink Barolos that have been aged in large gentile Slovenian Oak Cask instead of small 225 liter Barrique Barrels that make many wines taste more of Wood (the way Parker likes them) than beautiful unadulterated with natural fruit (Grapes). Drink wines like; Brunello, Cote du Rhones, and just about anything other than overly-concentrated, overly Oaked, manipulated over-oaked wines from Australia and over-powering Californian and Australian monsters and you’ll be doing OK, “Just DON’T Listen to anything ROBERT PARKER and his highly popular but detrimental newsletter The Wine Advocate. The man almost single handily Destroyed what Good Wine “is” and should be and the general publics perception on wine for they beleive they are following the advice of an expert. ” NOT !!!.
So folks be “Anti-Parker” you’ll be glad you Do.
