Sorry, but we have yet to find a chinese restaurant in NJ worth the effort. We only go to NY. Pings and Sweet and Tart in Chinatown and Grand Sichuan International on 9th Ave. bet. 50th and 51st. St. Steve Shaw (alias the Fat Guy) recommended that one on his forum and we have gone there at least 4 times in the past 2 months. Fabulous. This is real Chinese. No stupid duck sauce (where did that come from anyway) on the table.

Just back from5 wonderful days in the Willamette Valley. We visited Rex Hill, Archery Summit, Chehalem, Cristom,Beaux Freres and Ponzi and were most warmly welcomed every where. Ofcourse we called them more than 2 weeks ago. You cannot just knock on their doors. Wetasted a lot of 98 and 99's with, IMHO, a slight edge going to the 99's. 2000 and 2001 are also reputed to be excellent vintages so Oregon is finally on a roll. If you would like rest. recommendations let me know.
