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.

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.

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

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 remember Herb Caen writing that Velveeta was in the gourmet food section in Chico markets. [wink.gif] Not just in it, it was it! I grew up in Reno. There, my mom told me the Kal Kan was “Mexican Food.” I thought the pig aortas were calamari. You got Kal Kan? Lucky you. I think the stuff which cou...

Peanut butter and dill pickle sandwich.....Deelish!! Yep, I used to get those in my bag lunch back in the '60s. Check your old lunch box.......if one is there, I bet it is still good. champagne.gif I wouldn't be surprised. Still, that peanut butter and pickle sandwich had to be healthier than its p...

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.

Can I reverse time to when I never read that?

Yes, if you happen to be Superman.

I thought a snotball is one of the pitches in MadBum's arsenal.

We saw Derek with the ABB there in 09 I think. Incredible.

With Warren Haynes? I saw that show too. Outstanding.

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.

Howard was partner with Jimmy Jones until they sold the store (10 years ago?) and didn't guide. I think he worked a while for Jack Dennis before HCF and again after the sale. He was my fishing buddy here in CA until he moved to Jackson 30 years ago. Helluva fisherman.

Dave, do you know Howard Cole, formerly of High Country Flies?

While at pride, head to school house down the block. Intimate tour with some aged Pinot. Clippings from drc Napa Pinot and DRC. Lol. Actually, there's an interesting story here, involving suitcase cuttings of La Tache (I think) which were planted on the valley floor in the 1940s and none other than...

Anton, all the time you spend here and leave us hanging?
Maybe he didn't want to toot his own horn? No reason to amp things up.

He came here looking for clarity and, as usual, things quickly became distorted.

Crowds thin out after Labor Day so traffic isn't as bad. Also, the cooler weather gets the bison and elk moving to lower elevations so the wildlife viewing is excellent. You might want to consider a loop (either direction) which includes Idaho, West Yellowstone, Yellowstone Park, Grand Tetons, Jacks...

1997 Dehlinger Cab to go with some grilled lamb chops.

We have friends who just stayed at La Playa in Carmel and loved it. I think the rates include breakfast and a shuttle.

See if you can get into Mission Ranch.
If you can’t, go by for dinner and sit outside

And maybe Clint will drop by to tickle the ivories.

I wonder if you could have a food truck or two show up, or a restaurant deliver to a nice rental room?

Dan, just about any restaurant is available for a private event, but at a substantial cost (room charge, food and beverage minimums, etc.) so probably not appropriate for Glenn's group.

Slanted Door?
Ferry building, not too far of a walk, good setting.
Lots of shops and distractions there too.

I doubt they would want to accommodate a group that large. I think The Slanted Door is the largest grossing restaurant in SF so they are always busy. But I might be wrong.

We've had the 1986 and 1987 HM in the last year and both were outstanding.

She worked at Postino in Lafayette, CA, until about 15 years ago. I know a few people who worked with her. They said she could be difficult. Imagine that, a difficult chef.

Eataly was a perfect place for using the bathroom. I will still go there, despite his being gone.
Do you pretend to be a diner?

Cruising for unattended doggie bags?

I think some guy in Napa makes guitars from them.

Damn,meant to type Mardi Gras.

I think you can edit your subject line.

2014 Compagni Portis

2012 Carlisle, Zin, Sodini Vnyd. We had a 2015 Carlisle Dry Creek Zin (15% Petite Sirah) last night which rocked. Very expressive nose and big and luxurious on the palate. If you have a few try one soon, but there's no hurry. This one seems to be made for the long haul. I'm sure your 2012 Sodini is...

2007 J. Rochioli Little Hill PN

Fair amount of bone in the steaks tho! The tomahawk bone was gigantic. You didn’t see on your throne end of the table that John and Brian were gnawing on the bone. (Actually cutting off the ‘flavor’ (gristle) ) Hell yes. I’ve been trying to eat healthier, so once I fell off the wagon, I went deep. ...

When y’all get your release tomorrow please save some for those of us that will be on the waiting list offer.

As you used the magic word, you got it.

2012 James Berry Syrah How was it?? Sitting on a couple, feeling antsy to open one... Still dark and brooding. We decanted for an hour or so but it could have used a lot more. It was "just grab a bottle" to go with some Flannery beef and we have more, but I would recommend waiting another couple of...

On deck is 2010 Rivers-Marie Occidental Ridge PN with fresh king salmon from BC.

Is this the annual wine get together that Hank Gillespie so often attended? It saddens me that, though we talked about it, I never got there to meet him. He really enjoyed it. Alan, I don't know the answer to your question. IIRC, Hank lived in Edmonton, about a 3 hour drive from The Post, part of t...
