Well the weather is not cooperating. Yesterday it was off and on showers till around noon and today it is overcast and rainy. So if it stays this way, might end up being a shopping day. Dinner last night was at IZI's. Excellent meal as usual. Tonight probably somewhere over in Maho area. Leroy(longtime Divi bartender) was telling me that the Regatta will no longer be held on SXM, moving to St. Kitts next year, as the government here failed to back it.<img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

I would say that Leroy is probably incorrect regarding Regatta moving to St Kitts. He is correct that the government reneged on promises to pay toward Regatta for this year. They will need to get more corporate sponsors moving forward, if it is to continue in SXM though.

I recently ate at Izi twice and had pasta with two different sauces. I personally like the parma ham cappelletti with either the mushroom sauce or the carbonara sauce. Decent wine selection and service is always good. Another diner said his spaghetti and meal balls were the best he had ever had.
It is not for everyone as people seem hot or cold on Izi but I personally enjoy it. We had about 10 people there one night and everyone enjoyed their meals.

So, when we went there, we saw white, red and rose wine listed on their menu. And no wine list was given to us. Personally, I hate when menus only have the types of wine listed with no acknowledgement of what it is. I don't want to have to ask either (although I did).

No need to get worked up, either you like Izi or you don't. If you don't care for it, find another place to go. They do have a separate wine list. If it was not presented at the table one should ask. I have ordered by the glass and also by the bottle. This trip I ordered off the regular menu and by the glass. From their website: wine list

They always bring the wine list withe the menu's and usually ask if you want it .
