This is an idiotic take. California is suffering from a structural budget largely related to the broader downturn in the tech industry. The AI “boom” is largely unrealized gains limited to the few thousand employees at unicorn frontier labs in downtown San Francisco and AI-focused groups at larger pubcos (and even the latter get laid off in the reg as well).

Big dawg managed to strike out at Balboa Cafe, would give him a hard time but that was standard operating procedure for me in my 20s.

Prob top 3 restaurant in town and has maintained that for almost a decade, arguably shorted a second star due to Emeril Lagasse favoritism. It is a very long tasting menu which you may like or may not. Personally I don’t and miss the days when they had a bar menu and could sit in the backyard.

As a general matter, if you are just getting into wine and not familiar with the region and producer, I don’t think you will find it worthwhile to spend $230 on a bottle of their wine. You are also not getting offered much of a deal. I recommend going to the Houston Wine Merchant and letting those folks take care of you.

Why are you interested in that wine and that vintage? I’ve never had it but (and because) it always struck me as a Peak Parker Era produced. But if you wanted to spend that money and drink it now then I would try to get something really back vintage on auction.

I think Carmel High c/o 1970 might be peak vain vapid dipshit.
