I have been on a mayo rollercoaster, when I was young it went on everything, then just “salads,” now I am starting to use it exclusively on sandwiches. Am I turning into my parents where eventually it will be on everything again (I.e. peaches and mayo)?
My wife's uncle is a big buyer and knows the owners and they set us up. To be honest, I had no clue how hard it was to get in when we went. We were going to drop the regular shipments because it is $1,000 every time they send us wine, but her uncle told us that if we drop off we'll never get back on. If you want some we are usually buying less than our allotment and I'm sure we could buy some on your behalf (assuming you're in Houston).
Uh oh, sounds like computer AIDS. Probably best to throw that one away and start over, or just wait for the next version of Hornfans Shaggy Surly to appear.
Last time we went to Napa (about year ago) we only went to three vineyards. We started at Fantesca (Heidi Barret's place), then went to Anomaly. We were Berringer wine club at the time (I like some of their bigger cabs) so we stopped in there and took in the commercial touristy goodness. We ended up coming home with:
3 Anomaly 2014
2 Anomaly 2013
1 Anomaly 2011
2 King Richards Reserve Pinot (Fantesca)
2 Fantesca Chardonnay
2 Chiarello 2013 Zin
2 Chiarello 2014 Cab
We also ended up on a list to receive more wine the following fall from Fantesca and Anomaly. The Fantesca cab is incredible, and their blend All Great Things is also phenomenal. Heidi also produces her own label Amuse Bouche which is quite good. http://www.amusebouchewine.com/index.php
Next time we make it out that way we'll spend some time in Sonoma since we've never been there. I know Napa is crowded and touristy, but Goddamn if they don't grow some kick-ass cab.
Get a Coravin. I can have a glass of nice wine when I want and it will remain as though I didn't open the bottle. I've had bottles that I tapped stay good for months (I haven't let many go too much longer than that).
Are you changing your settings on a computer or a mobile phone? You may need to go to a computer and go to the notification settings under Account Settings. Seems to work for me.
I would go to my nephew's graduation, but otherwise I agree with this. I'm already dreading the 1st, 2nd,... 8th, 9th graduation bull shit. It's stupid as hell, but the kids don't know that and all they'll notice is that their parents aren't there.
