  1. Special bottling from Macurichos for their 60th, and apparently only 60 bottles made it to the states. Fantastic - bright and floral on the nose and cacao and pepper on the finish.
  2. I imagine a huge chunk of longtime Palisades residents can’t afford to rebuild and the County has totally fucked things up by only trying to fast-lane like for like rebuilds. Ugly backlash of 50 years of Prop 13 and NIMBYISM.
  3. I definitely have after enough Orange Crushes at Dewey Beach.
  4. Hey, at least he went from Steve Bannon to jumping on the Abundance bandwagon.
  5. I don’t think it ever was.
  6. I think everyone in the housing reform world understands acutely the cost issue and the limitations that currently exist, but most of the efforts on the supply side are to partly improve the economics of development by mitigating or removing regulations that basically exist to obstruct housing: inclusionary zoning (primarily), environmental review processes, “community impact fees” (ie, shakedowns), union labor requirements, etc. But absolutely, what is left unsaid is that the best case scenario is that housing prices simply increase at a slower rate and that incomes somehow need to rise.
  7. Ay-Eye. Nvidia + FAANG popping off over the last two years have the Peninsula real estate market back to record levels of stupid. I also recommend “Abundance”, a big focus is why so many blue state cities are in the left column and red state cities are in the right column.
  8. Don’t forget the trans Hamas belly dancers.
  9. To be clear, no hate on Ceritas - prob one of my top 3 Sonoma producers. California winemakers are in a rough spot right now and they will do what they need to do make money. One easy way is to take advantage of wealthy Texas vacationers. Happy to provide perspective on wineries , but having lived here long enough to remember when these things were free, I balk at a lot of what I see these days.
  10. I just checked and their tastings are $95/pp in downtown Healdsburg? That’s absurd. Fuck it, go around the corner and get some Raveneau at Maison if you want to spend that much. Wineries are in a weird place right now but if I’m spending more than $30 for a tasting it’s going to be outdoors or part of some meal experience.
