Probably old news, but first time I heard of it: At Specs today and the will-call guy was telling me the owner of 8th Row Flint (Yale and 11th) has a deal each Dec 26th where he calls in all his favors at Specs and sells all his allocated bourbons for cost (two of each of the pappy's and BTAC, and who knows what else). Seems like a fun idea.
In college Brett Favre completed a 79 yard hail mary. Brett Favre, who threw so hard he would break his receivers fingers.
So, yeah you're coworkers are morons.
I get it. Also, the fact that Caymus just decided to say "fuck it" in the mid 90s and almost double their prices.
1993 Cab - $24
1994 Cab - $36
1995 Cab - $62
Oh, and then in 2013 they were fined by Napa county for over-producing. Their permit allowed for 42,000 cases and they produced 800k.
We had to park down the block as the lot was completely full. Sorry for the shitty pic, but this was the best I could get. Sideways across three spots.
We just stopped by Caymus to pick up a couple of bottles of Zin. It's a pretty cool outdoor tasting area with a bunch of people just getting hammered. It didn't seem like the worst way to spend an nice afternoon. It gets pretty crowded and they limit the number of people tasting so make a reservation if you want to go.
I understand why the wine snobs hate it, but my wife's uncle buys us a case of the cab or Spec Sel each year so I've come to enjoy it.
