  1. Thanks. Looks like there's only a couple in town that advertise as estate law folks. You have any experience with them personally?

    I don’t have any experience with them. I asked two of my friends that are attorneys in Waco and who they would recommend.

    They both said Rainey & Rainey are really good.

    Another name one of them suggested is Dick McCall.

  2. I don’t have any fancy designation but I have built a couple of homes in the past few years that were accessible. The main thing is all your door ways need to be 3’-0”. No curb at your shower so you can roll in. Blocking for handrails, etc. They even make ADA thresholds that makes it much easier to get in/out of the house. If you want me to walk you thru some of this I can help out.

  3. For those of you in Dallas that want the same type of help, go to Pogo’s.

     

     

    Check out LastBottle. From time to time there are some really good values. Picked up some really good Rosé a few weeks ago for $14 bottle shipped!

     

    I second Pogos. Go talk with Tedder and he will point you in the right direction.

    Let me first say that I am no audiophile and know next to nothing about speakers or stereo systems in general.
     
    I have two tower speakers (wet sounds rev10) on my boat that the rubber ring around the perimeter of each speaker has developed cracks in the rubber. They are about 5 years old. The speakers still sound great to my ear, but this can’t be good. The rubber is still very pliable and not brittle, just these slots in rubber around perimeter band of each speaker. After googling it seems there are speaker repair options. Should I have these repaired or just replace at 1700/pair? Found a guy that will do it for 150/ea. The speakers are pushed to max amps and sound crystal clear still and loud as fuck.

    Noticed the same thing on my wetsounds speakers a few weeks back. Let me know if you are pleased if you get them repaired.

  5. I've yet to try WineBid, but I think I'm going to bite the bullet this year. My question is, come shipping time, how do those of you in Texas handle it? Is this my excuse to make a field trip to California? Do I store in-state there, then have a third party ship?
    I fucking hate TABC.

  6. I’ve looked at that before — so it works?

    I was highly skeptical at first....now I’m a firm believer. Don’t wait any longer and buy one today! Oh and buy an extra decanter....

    I’m impatient as all get out...Best money I have ever spent is the iSommelier from Wine Enthusiast.

  8. Any issues with people selling who don't properly store the wine?

    Between me and a few friends we have probably bought 100+ bottles from WineBid. I can only recall just a couple being cooked or corked. Other than those we have had pretty good luck.

    With WineBid it’s impossible to know the provenance of the wine. I’m mainly after certain wines and willing to roll the dice to an extent. Most of my older more expensive bottles come from another source that guarantees the provenance on the bottles.

  10. My house burned down about 7 years ago.  I had a small but nice wine collection including a 100 point port that was 20 years old.  I was holding for another 10 years.  Of course I lost all that shit.  I changed by deal, instead of buying wine to age, I buy aged wine.  I find by using Vinfolio, Cellar Radiers and Wine Bid, I can get vintage wine frequently at less than current vintage prices.  

    Sorry to hear about your fire. My experience with WineBid is hit and miss. I’m the same as you I would rather buy aged vino and drink now versus watching it take a nap for what seems like forever.

  11. Only recently started ordering Spottswoode — love it.  And Ruinart is, IMO, the best NV out there (especially for the price) and the Rose is excellent

    Spottswoode is one of my favorite Cali cabs. The 07 was drinking really well after popping and decanting for a bit. Really youthful and will only get better with age.

     

    We go thru quite a bit of Ruinart BdB and Rose! If you like rose bubbles I would highly suggest Henriot.
