  1. Interesting. I enjoyed my one meal there (brunch), but it didn't wow me. really snobby service which I found kinda funny for some reason. She has new spot in Bywater in the old Mariza location. It looks good, too.
  2. disagree. 97.5 in the am is pretty solid and leaps and bounds better than any other show. I do like Charlie, 2 hours is a good dose of him.
  3. Clanton was the most boring person on the radio. just awful
  4. for Napa, I like Frog's Leap Rutherford cab. around $45, I think, and consistently solid in that Napa flavor profile. If you are looking to stay away from the high tannin flavor profile, look to Washington cabs. Not as easy to find, but producers like Delille, Abeja, Feather, Januik (single vineyard offerings), Soos Creek, Spring Valley, Woodward Canyon, L'ecole No 41, and others. You get a touch more fruitiness in Washington cabs, bluer fruit than Napa (generally).
  5. had Elmer T Lee for the first time this past week. I liked it quite a bit. I also tried a 123 proof bourbon that is slipping my memory. damn it, occupational hazard of being a big drinker I guess.
  6. bought a wine-check at a tasting room in Healdsburg. Got me a case of wine home, so that was nice. Gonna re-use when we visit some friends at their mountain house in North Carolina later this summer. Glad I did it.
  7. I'm intrigued. can't recall anything I've had over 120ish....
  8. then he must have killed someone.
  9. My thoughts also. I have a diabetic child. I don't expect his college health center to meet those needs, we found him a local endocrinologist. You know, someone that specializes in diabetic care. Not the quack shack where you go to get a prescription for sinus medicine in allergy season.
  10. That Gros has Pinot on the label. Not sure I've ever seen that from a Cote D'Or bottling, although I admit to not drinking a ton of Burgundy. Is that unusual or am I just dumb?
  11. not in my case. at least I might prefer a more nuanced wine at times, but I still have a place in my heart and palate for a big Napa red. I just think you can get something that tastes just like Caymus for $40 instead of paying the Caymus price. Their winery is in Rutherford, as are their vineyards, yet they don't designate their wines as from Rutherford. why? To be labeled Napa, wine could be from a large growing area and as much as 15% could be from non-Napa sources. At current production volumes, I'd guess a lot of Lake County fruit in this bottling. Just not what I like about wine. But that's what makes wine so great, lots of different options for us each to get what we like. If you want to buy Caymus, then God's Speed!
  12. holy shit, not sure I've ever had a bourbon with that heat level.
  13. what's 35+ proof stronger mean? stronger than what? This one was 93 proof
  14. I remember that thread. shit I'm old and damn I've wasted a lot of time
  15. yeah, just started googling and that's what I think it was. it was very new, date was in December '17
  16. Need some Blanton's education. Had some shared with me last weekend. It had a label saying what date it was taken from Barrel No. xxxx from Warehouse "H" on Rick No. blah, blah , blah so is this some special deal or regular Blanton's? It was really tasty, a touch heavier than other bourbons I've liked, but a nice flavor.
  17. Other than Bremer, none of those are familiar to me, so kudos to you. love supporting the smaller production places.
  18. how did I never see this? holy hell that was funny
  19. My wine knowledge is a good step below yours, but I'm trying!
  20. I didn't mean to sound rude, I saw the product online. I'm sure it works well. Not sure it is exactly what I want is all
  21. If I just want a styrofoam box, I'll buy one there like Smax says. 90 bucks to have a short handle isn't really worth it to me.
  22. I have never watched this, I'm ashamed to admit
