    Many times we would take the foil pouch out of the Franzia box and tuck it in the inside pocket of my ski jacket for all day drinking on the slope. Good times. RIP indeed.
  2. @PenelopeWitherspoon have you been to Jua? Looking at booking there for a Wednesday dinner in October.

    Can’t go wrong with Reidel Sommeliers, though I think they’ve been discontinued for some reason. They’re really hard to find now.

    Gaja was just ok, Poyferre wasn’t good (it wasn’t corked, but it was cloudy and just didn’t sing like it should), Lynch Bages was the star of the show with Ducru right behind. The SQN wines were fantastic, and the 2012 Rhône-style white side-by-side was great as well. I love Schrader wines and the 2013 CCS is pretty close to perfect.

    The Bonneau should be excellent. Nice choice.
  8. Tried to book a seating for 4 at Atomix today. I was on Tock at 1:59 (Texas) and refreshing every couple of seconds. Finally opened up and shit was already fully booked for every day of my trip in October. Fucking sucks.

    I agree with sidis, and if money is no object, get her a Sine Qua Non Grenache.

    Some recent acquisitions
  11. A recent effort with substandard equipment, but turned out well considering.

    Man, that's pretty special. I hope your guests appreciated those. Noticed the corks look a little worse for wear; wines holding up ok?
  13. Even better is to ask about that awesome, once in a lifetime atmosphere in 2011, when arguably one of the worst teams we ever fielded, with Cameraman McCoy at the helm, overcame the 12th man’s fury, diced up the middle of the field defenders, and our opera singing kicker nailed a 38 yarder in the face of the amazing aggy atmosphere to walk off with one of the best wins in the history of the rivalry. Yeah ask about that atmosphere too.

    Had a nice little weekend
  15. ou sucks but I love the way Skip is always pressuring the defense.
  16. He’s throwing 95mph batting practice
  17. Fucking fuck. Two absolute ropes hit right at 3B
  18. Wild pitch / passed ball scores Stehly. 6-3
  19. I don’t understand why Pierce doesn’t put some play on. Bunt and run, straight steal, something
  20. Nice single Hodo. DC scores. 6-2
  21. Because aggy
  22. Yeah. Ok. The most effective he’s been in forever, and has a week off to recoup after this.
  23. Why not roll with Stevens?
  24. 5 pitchers in 1-1/3
