At least that means there’s less room for whatever else is in this thing

“Grape wine with natural flavor”

We’re almost there already

And Chateauneuf du Pape 👀

Never listen to the google info-box about wine. Here it happily grabs the blend for Clerc Milon’s top wine and presents it as the blend of the second.

I haven’t opened my bottles from La Creation or Lilian Ladouys, but they will be my next attempts at sub-$50 Bordeaux

Capbern and Cantemerle are easy to find for less than $50. Ch Gloria can be under $50 with the right discounts.

“Who are you calling large?”

More than anything in the world, he loves swinging the baseball bat

Another stellar performance from the Google info-box

The closeout rack at Houston Wine Merchant, but maybe someone in Chicago sells it too

It is my Professional Opinion that you should buy and drink this wine

I think about this diagram from the World Atlas of Wine a lot

A complaint about Bluesky that I don’t see frequently enough is about the inability to send photos in DMs

Kid who is maybe six years old next to me on the Metro North rediscovered transit-oriented development from first principles. “When you live close to the train if you want to go somewhere you just walk to the train station.”

Sancerre really hit the jackpot by being high-status and having a name that’s easy to pronounce

Big day for all of my friends who hosted college radio music programs

First time drinking Rhys. This was phenomenal. Glad to have caught it at such a fine moment in its lifespan.

“Yup. Wine should not smell overwhelmingly of potato peel. Still got it.”

In many ways I enjoy getting a flawed bottle of wine. It’s reassuring that I can identify something as undrinkable.

Strake Jesuit are your 2025 #pacensc Champions! They defeated Lexington 440-220 to give them their first championship

If the red wine doesn’t smell like dirt, church, or an Asian grocery store, I am NOT interested

I wonder how much of this is composition effects. In the early part of the used Tesla price chart, the used Tesla market would have been dominated by the more expensive Model S. After the the pandemic-era rise in used car prices, cheaper MSRP Model 3s and Ys are being sold by 1st/2nd owners.

Rooting for my alma mater! Strake can set a new program record for their best finish at quizbowl nationals with one more win.

Can’t decide whether the bilingual billboards for car wreck injury attorneys or the “GUN SHOW @ MARGARITAVILLE” billboards are a better encapsulation of Houston culture

He’s got the right idea

Asking my boss if we can do a promotion where you get a free bottle of Malort with the purchase of any Chateauneuf du Pape

Has he had Malort?

I trust you enough to give you more latitude for detonations than just traffic violations
