  1. Looks like a great play from CF to make that out
  2. I approve of this combination (wish I’d have thought of it)

    The La Turque was perfection. Unfortunately the Landonne was a bad bottle… which was shocking because it was part of a 3-bottle OWC and the other 2 were fantastic. Disappointing.

    How is that holding up?
  6. Probably needed to declare now to be there in time for the 2022 draft.

    Brian Kelly to L$U

    That’s such a bullshit speech. His whole “My “why” is I came here to develop you as student athletes” is hollow. That was his gig at ND. You don’t drop ND to go to LSU for the challenge of “developing student athletes”. He’s there to cash in and he’s arrogant enough to think he’ll be able to compete against some of the best year over year. No surprise that LSU players aren’t buying his shit.
  8. Hey we actually played a reverse pass correctly

    I've used mine to do side-by-side tastings of several bottles with only two or three drinkers. We did this a lot during the covid shutdown (luckily Total Wine and Specs were considered critical businesses); we'd buy 8 or 10 bottles of new stuff we hadn't tried, then use the coravin to pour a tasting of each having fun doing the comparison. I also found that most of these bottles were still good weeks or months after doing a single pouring with the coravin. Other than that, I haven't found much use for it. Even if you're the type that drinks one or two glasses with dinner and have a half bottle left over, just put the cork back in it and it'll usually be fine the next day, although you could use your coravin here as well. I just don't think it's worth it for your average everyday drinker.
  10. Haha nice. I was thinking it was some handmade masterpiece. Shows how much I know lol

    It will be memorable whenever you decide to open it

    This was one of the Celestins bottles that he only makes in special vintages. I’ve had a couple of others before and this one didn’t disappoint (they’ve all been spectacular). It was the best of the three we had including the Sabon Secrets de Sabon. Just a fantastic wine and definitely worth the money. Save the one you have for a special occasion.
  13. I just had the Wagyu Omakase menu at Cote and it was fantastic. It’s not traditional but I would highly recommend it. It’s also a fun, laid back atmosphere and has a star. Just something to consider.

    A few from a great week in NYC
  15. Love Atera, especially at the bar. Great week there for you.
  16. Actually there’s more to it than that…. Coach asked the captains to vote, and they voted to bring him back. Coach overruled them. So I think there’s something else going on but no doubt the players wanted him back.

    Taking a few bottles along for my trip to NYC. The two Calis on the left are for Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare and the two French whites are for an omakase lunch at Odo.
