I think Pepe is great for the clam pie . Tomato pies , not so much. Sally's is better for those .

Stilll need to review the whole list.

So what's so great about Ultramarine ? Can you get similar sparkling wine or Champagne at a similar price point ?

Be careful!!

As far as I know its a single vineyard wine. Have no idea where this "declassified" claim comes from. It took a couple of years after Michael purchased the property to get it up to his specs, but its an older vineyard and now well tended to. Well, BETTER tended to, by Charlie Chenoweth. We do same ...

Production up? Or lots of people not buying or not doing wishlist?

Sorry to disappoint, but I did not decant it and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Great to hear!!

I really think I have tasted/smelled shit in red (eating) grapes

Cirq SVD before the price increases ? Yes
Cirq SVD after the price increases? No thanks .
Cirq and Chevy blends these days . No thanks .

Taking 2 bottles of the Bard-certainly getting great wine with good value (relative to the price point).

Again? Didn't they just have one of these a couple of weeks ago?

Is that a problem or concern?

I cannot assist, but if doesn't have rye seeds it ain't rye bread . Hope you find something good.

Who needs free food or booze ??

Free Covid testing with any 5-day stay.

Anything to get new members these days I bet !!!

I have a 2012 but hope to purchase the upcoming allocation next January.

will these wines ship this year ?
You can schedule a shipping date in Oct - Nov I believe, pending weather.

Thanks . Just wasn't sure if this fall or next year. I'm Just cherry picking a few bottles from a friend.

Create your own tomato throwing event amongst your friends since the annual one in Spain was canceled this year .

I rarely made it to Island Park (and ironically it was usually Sunday when I did, and this was back in the Blue Law days). On the rare occasions when I did make it, Pops was a must. I agree with Bruce that the store has lost its luster these days. Greg, I don't know of any independent wine store in...

I went into Pops a few weeks ago , hadn't been there for several years . I was so looking forward to checking out the dark, dingy consignment section to see what could be had . Except it was basically gone, along with the charm and character of the store . Damn !!! RIP. Hopefully Nick never saw the ...

Just curious what is the approx retail price . I know nothing about this (make it most) wine.

Also post on Wine Talk. More activity there.

Thanks all. I have a smoker box that I used to use on my Weber kettle (which is no longer with me).

I have only done them on the bge; can you hold the temperature of your gas grill well?

Yes . It's a 3 burner Weber and I can do indirect.

Search threads on the Wine Talk forum, or post there. More activity there.

Where do you live?

I had a similar problem with a different type of wine fridge. One of the fans was being blocked by a couple of bottles that were wedged in close to it. Once I moved those bottles , problem solved.

Anybody have one to share? Or a link to one?
Will try internet as well.

I also freeze a lot of peaches at peak. Have never used lemon juice or sugar and never had browning issues. Blanch to peel, slice, lay out on parchment-lined sheet pan and freeze (I do work pretty quickly to get them into the freezer). After frozen, vacuum seal. Not quite as good as fresh, but pret...

Another good combination is egg salad and tuna salad.
Also lox with egg salad.

Ewwww

Hot and sour, and egg drop , is a great combo .
Not in my house. Although I could probably live with stirring some beaten egg into hot and sour soup, I could. It abide the mixing of the broths

Did you try it ?

There were several wineries that I know of, a couple rather prominent come to mind, that bottled and sold some of their 2008 knowing full well of the taint problem. However, they acknowledged the taint, sold them as such, and the wines were sold strictly out of the tasting rooms as I knew it to be....

Last night I picked up some Chinese food . The soup I ordered was a combination of Wonton , Egg Drop , and Hot & Sour . Next time I will just mix up the last 2: wonton soup just watered it down.

Anybody in NYC area want to split a case of the N39?
I’m guessing you didn’t order a case but I’d be interested in splitting if you happened to bite. Looks like it’s sold out now.

Yeah didn't order . Would have but too late . Wasn't going to buy full case .

Was it Todd or Fu that deleted my post, and why?

Does being a Berserker Business paying member grant special privileges?

Which post ?

Another thought is focus on wineries in an area or AVA, as opposed to focusing on clone(s). Not sure of why but I seem to like Pinot Noir from the Green Valley of the Russian River Valley. I'm not saying I can identify one if I was tasting it blind (no way could I), but I just seem to like Pinot Noi...

This AM from Jamie

Thanks . I know not you , but the word is lightning not lightening . Oops wrong thread

And now this morning it looks like rain in Napa and Sonoma........a good thing I assume as it will give the vines a little drink? No sir. Possible fires might come with this. Also heavy downpours on ripe fruit could lead to mold/fungus issues. Not to minimize the fire impact (obvious), but after th...
