Peake ranch Chardonnay on right now
I’ve had this wine. I liked it quite a bit
I bought some from the winery earlier this year at a much higher price.

Seems like a great price for a good wine

Found these in the house . Addicting .

I have a bottle of 2014 Chenoweth Pinot if that helps you . Not Sedition though .

Two-three thousand dollars for what was highlighted?? Easy pass. That operator has long been known for overcharging, in order to soothe diners and drinkers with their financial capacity to get fleeced. rolleyes I didn’t go to Del Posto all that often because the wine was so expensive (and they refu...

Nope; if they'll have me, I'm going!
So you will travel cross country for 6 hours on a plane that is full because the airlines refuse to practice social distancing. Hope to go to a few Napa wineries because you are sick of staying at home?

Helping the economy at least !!!

We have a trip to Napa from the east coast planned later this month & would appreciate any update on the status of visiting the wineries there since some restrictions have started to be reinstated in CA.

Thanks Joel

South Florida or California. Tough choice. Good luck with either .

Cooking bacon or turning pork into bacon?

Today I would do naughty things

Whatever floats your boat .
I have never done naughty things to/with a wine bottle .

Thx! I can see getting rid of Aunt Jemima, but perhaps Uncle Ben ( I don't know the history) , but is the Indian woman offensive?

No but I like the use of the word steer.

It used to be Uncle Ben's with melted Land O Lakes butter, sometimes with Aunt Jemima syrup, but ...

Those are some nice looking meals !

One my favorites . Beer/soda can chicken.

I am an American and don't like peanut butter , so have never had one. Maybe one day I will have a cashew , almond, sunflower , etc. and jelly sandwich. I have had cream cheese and jelly, which is yummy .

Whirley popper kicks it up to a whole other level

Surprised they don't make an orange wine.

What about the effect if there is any rain this weekend ?

Anybody buying ?? I'm not buying . just curious

And then followed by possible rain?

A good friend of mine received a 1961 Palmer as a gift around 15 years ago, and it was purchased at that time . Any guesses what it cost then ? Or is there some (free) website out there for this ? We are both curious , thanks . Probably not that different from what it is now; around $1500 with a po...

Bumping . Any further info to share . My wife just bought one . Seems like a waste of money and space -haven't told he that -yet.

I just pulled the trigger on a 2015 Shafer Hillside Select. I've never had a SHS, but I hope it's worth the $49 I got it for! I've yet to pay more than $200 for a bottle of wine, so I'm not sure how a lot of these high end Cabs stack up. Please share how you got SHS for $49 Maybe the 1 is missing ?

I use the whirly pop on a glass GE top. No scratches because you don't shake the whirlypop, you just turn the crank. Thanks Jim, much appreciated.Maiden voyage tonite. Yup no damage . Jiffypop causes damage . Good luck . Please let us know how it goes. I recommend heating up the oil/butter/whatever...

On Saturday, I was craving some pasta and was also craving scallops, but didn't want anything too heavy. I found a great recipe that called for fresh corn to be cooked and then pureed to make the "cream" in the sauce. My blend was on the fritz and my hand blend didn't do too well in getting it very...

Where are you located?

Good story in NY Times a few days ago about growers deepening concern about wineries cutting back fruit purchases. Going to be some pain on all sides of this thing. If anyone could find and post that story? I'm obviously just a dumb hillbilly! Might be behind a paywall: https://www.nytimes.com/2020...

Those are some nice looking dishes .

Tonight was beer can chicken. So good and easy (beats cooking pieces of chicken).

2016 Myriad Tofanelli Semillon. Yummy!!!

2016 Myriad Semillon right now. Yum!!

Very cool!!!

We've been eating the blue and ladyfinger . We love the blue .

Up to you if you like crunchy, fluffy , etc .

Lots of options here:

Perhaps they would be best served by posting here a bit more often. If I was a winemaker/winery I sure would.

They do make some fine wines . Join us this Sunday, May 17 at 11 AM on Instagram Live as winemaker Kareem Massoud interviews his parents, Paumanok founders and proprietors, Charles & Ursula Massoud. This will be the first in a series of interviews going back to Paumanok's inception and through the y...

I think we need a Zoom call... I only drink on Zoom. Todd and Fu got me hammered last weekend. Granted, I showed up fully primed. I hope I gave no legal opinions. I had/have three board / executive committee meetings for organizations I’m involved with this week via Zoom. Wanted to drink during all...

February 13 2016 and no soup for me (yet) How do you know when you signed up? For me, it just shows that I'm a member with no allocation. I don't think I even got a conformation email when I signed up. I keep track of every mailing list I have joined as well as the date I was allocated each wine fr...

Rick , have you tried the Whitley Popper yet?
Yes, what a great popper! I’ve been popping about every 2-3 days. Using ghee and a tiny amount of Flavacol (the container I purchased will last the rest of my life). Delicious.

Cool

beans!!!
