More folks from non-Pacific time zones on here right now. Where da West Coast (besides Todd and me) WBers at???

ERPark

Time to chill the champers!

ERPark

No need to apologize IMO. You’re offering up some really nice bottles at a price below W-S (free version) global low price. Keep ‘em coming!

ERPark

No coincidence IMO that the highest attended event was when a certain cheesehead host celebrating his birthday was mostly not there. J/K Todd! Hope you had a great bday dinner with those Flannerys and the 2000 Leoville Poyferré! Big thanks to Erin for attending, and providing some nice and insightf...

Central FL Charlie's daughter has some good taste. Can't say I know any college kids who can say their favorite Burgundy is Gevry-Chambertin [rofl.gif] For Monday, can we do a BDXI theme? Just picked up my shipments from Goodfellow and DiCostanzo, would love an excuse to open these :) Yess! LOL. Ev...

Wifey loved the Paillard Rose bubbly from last night. Much to her chagrin, I will grab something different from the fridge or cellar.

Unfortunately, can only be on for 15 mins, as I have to go pick her up from the hospital she works at.

So just to be clear, are we doing 4:30 PDT? 5:30 PDT?

Also, do we have a theme? If champers, I need to put some in the freezer stat!

Had a pour of 2019 Old Forester Birthday with another forumite. I’m giving up on it. This is the 3rd different bottle of the 2019 I’ve tried, and it just doesn’t do it for me. It’s missing the richer and smoother profile that the 2018 version had/has. Ah well....... I appreciate this post. I had a ...

Early frontrunner for PotY. Awesome tribute to an industry giant, Nicos!

That was pretty fun! Highly recommend more folks join the next one.......

Bourbon blend dusty haul today.......

Fun idea! I may have to crash the virtual party. Scored some 750s of NV Bruno Paillard Premiere Cuvée Brut Rose Dom Costco that I haven’t dug into yet. Sounds as good a time as any to pop some bubbly......

Even if we did a “virtual offline”, Jorge still wouldn’t get his pork chop in a timely manner......

The folks at Harlan periodically send out similar type missives to folks that are active on their mailing lists. The days of waiting awhile for an offer are long gone. OP should be surprised if he doesn’t receive an allocation offer the next time it rolls around.

I agree that restaurants need support. Went out last night in the City, and several normally bustling places were noticeably less busy.

Lawrence, here’s a picture of all the bottles, pretty eclectic mix! Amazingly, there was only one burg.

I recognize all these knuckleheads......I mean forumites!

Looks like a fun and eclectic lineup. Anything in particular stand out?

Was visiting a customer today and one of the brewers unexpectedly gave me a small glass of bourbon...turns out, it was from a bottle of Old Grand Dad from 1962 that he scored at an estate sale - holy crap was it amazing!! Last thing I was expecting today, can still taste it... I have literally no e...

Surprised at no mention of Greer. Though I’m not sure if there’s a waiting list for it or not.......

I could do the 24th. 9th not so sure, and it sounds like it’s at capacity anyways.

You’re staying home citing Coronavirus concerns?

Surprised no one has mentioned the guy (known to quite a few people here) who took his prized bottle of ’61 Cheval Blanc to a burger joint, and drank it from a styrofoam cup.......

Been out of town, so apologies for the tardiness. I’ll have a ‘97 Dehlinger RRV in hand, with some champers as a backup.

Tried out the 2020 Pliny the Younger this past Sunday. While this year’s version was less turbocharged than the previous couple releases (and thus better), it still doesn’t come close to how good PtY was pre-2017 before they added the additional hop types into the recipe. Still enjoyed my full allot...

That dream came true to me. I bought it at $189 but I was in Calgary in Canada (paid CAD 250). Now it's sold out though.

Canada doesn’t count!

If boneless, I've done American Wagyu short ribs on my Traeger for several hours (longer isn’t a problem), then seared on all sides in a hot cast iron. My family loves this prep, but we tend to like things more beefy and iron-y than most......

Had the last two pours of 2019 Old Forester Birthday. While solid, the 2018 OFBB was much more to my liking. Then tried to get an Elmer T Lee. Was informed that they only had the ETL 100th bottle, and it was $30 for a pour. Of course I had to give it a whirl, and glad I did. While I wouldn’t drop th...

Colonel EH Taylor Small Batch for $35.99 is a great price.

1792 Full Proof has seen increased demand due to acclaim from a certain critic/influencer.
