    Celebrating a new baby boy and decided to get fancy tonight with some Niigata snow-aged A5 Wagyu. Haven’t had A5 before and this was a real treat. Topped some of them with some golden osetra caviar.

    I approve of this combination (wish I’d have thought of it)

    How were the La La’s?

    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.

    im not going back 6 pages, anyone posted this?  there are a lot of "I's" in this two minute speech 

     

    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. 

  4. 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.
