So, cultivarieties or cultivarietals? I'm so confused.

T Welch

Does anybody talk or write about varietals of apples, peaches, oranges, etc.?

T Welch

If it were a state law I think an exception would have to be made for winery reps who arrive with opened bottles.

T Welch

I just want to thank the original poster for using variety, instead of varietal, in his subject line.

We did a tasting at the vineyard this summer (Howell Mountain). We thought the cab was OK, not great, but bought some. I’m guessing Aaron will make it better over time. While her vineyard is on Howell Mountain, it's not quite high enough to use the Howell Mountain appellation. According to the Somn...

Carrots with fresh-ground cardamom are delicious too.

IIRC, 2006 was problematic for Rhys and Alesia corks. Any other vintages?

Why did you store the wines upright?

Cuz George is a standup guy?

I agree with your title.
I'm going to have to disagree with my friend Jim on this one. Your title should be "Let Your Saxa Age!"

For Saximum enjoyment. We enjoyed a 2007 Booker last week.

As far as the wine goes, you might try searching for "Honolulu Wine Stores or Oahu Wine Stores." There are quite a few options. NK Wine Shop seems to have a nice selection.

My order had a lot of brown. Is this normal? The steaks were shipped frozen, but arrived thawed. The foam was detached on one side. The ice packs were still frozen. They’re dry aged, they come a shade of brown. They are shipped fresh, not frozen. Your steaks will be fines as long as the vacuum seal...

Golf notes are useless without scores.
Huge +1.

Only a bogey. No big deal.

We really enjoyed the 2014 rose last night.

What's up with the case of Gordon's Gin or Vodka?

Odd cellar occupant.

I disagree, but omelet your comment go.
He’s right, it’s a shell of its former self.
Really? A little birdie told me that chicks dig it.

I'm sure, but not some of the hard-boiled characters around here.

To chicken to answer my question on your egg statement, Bruce?
The problem is that he thinks he’s the cock of the walk.

Your egging him on is only eggsacerbating the situation.

Had a beautiful 2003 Lagier Meredith Syrah last night.

That's great to read. We have a couple hiding somewhere.

This one. Oops. It's the 2017 Cole Ranch Riesling.

T Welch

Chateauneuf-du-Pape and Chianti.

T Welch

In fact, maybe do a search of Ken's posts. He's the man to help you.

T Welch

Ken Zinns should be along shortly...

Have at it folks. It's also National Junk Food Day and National Creme Brûlée Day. It's also National Hot Dog Month and National Grilling Month. I was born on National Chocolate Souffle Day. You?

Can't I just have one bourbon, one scotch and one beer?

Apt spellcheck in your subject line, Blake. Should have been Vincent Priorat vs. Peter Loire.

SOS - "$hit On a Shingle Chipped beef, butter, flour, milk and pepper over toast Sounds gross, but is quite tasty I used to regularly get Leo's chipped beef (a sixteenth of an inch?) with French's mustard on pillowy white bread for lunch. And I think Mom did make the SOS occasionally. What the heck...

2012 Pagani Ranch. Exactly what I wanted with grilled pork ribs.

Suddenly, my glass of Bedrock rose doesn't seem so impressive. Well done. Color me jealous.

T Welch

Pride Mountain (mostly in Sonoma) is about a half hour away and has picnic tables with great views. Fisher is another beautiful property a few minutes closer than Pride.

T Welch

Sonoma Valley/Kenwood area would be closest. Chateau St. Jean has beautiful grounds and a picnic area, I believe.

T Welch

A huge +1

So are we sacrificing the OP?
Not much of a sacrifice, really. He self-immolated on the first go round.

Let me stand next to your fire...

We use Lefty O'Doul's Margarita Mix. No high fructose corn syrup, I think.

2007 Dehlinger Syrah to go with grilled lamb chops.

A 2012 Bedrock Vineyard Zin consumed last night was absolutely delicious. And with the added Petite Sirah and Alicante Bouschet I think it should drink well for several years.

I don't think Bryan ages the hangers and filets nearly as long as the New Yorks and ribeyes, so the moisture content is greater in the hangers and filets.

I don’t know squat about OR Pinot Gris, but have to second your advice about catching the Tedeschi Trucks Band in concert.

Yep, we saw them on 5/11 at the Fox in Oakland. Fantastic show at a great venue.

I always thought it was Stony Hill circa 1950's as well. Tom Hill should chime in, as I am sure he's followed them from the very start!

See post #11.

Sous vide, of course.
