  1. Alright this wins the internet for the day.
  2. Aldo Sohm, the sommelier of Le Bernadine, released a book called “Wine Simple” which I’ve given as a gift. Soon enough you’ll be into tastings.
  3. You’re referring to Redd (which was awesome). Redd Wood closed during the pandemic. A restaurant called North. Block is now in its space (after the hotel). Haven’t been but I think it’s owned by someone from David Chang’s group. North Block is a good hotel btw.
  4. 22,23 hours. Whatever it takes.
  5. The other Link spots, Herbsaint and Gianna. La Boca is a classic. Couvant as well. Gotta check out Howlin Wolf if someone good is playing. Rusty Nail/Side Car is the neighborhood bar (also a Bama bar so avoid on saturdays).
  6. That CdM sucks is by no means an unpopular opinion but I think @Mo Horn went to the City Park location, which is not a shitshow and a perfectly fine choice if you’re going to hang out by the sculpture garden.
  7. Manzanilla, imo.
  8. Sebastopol is our go-to weekend getaway so we spend quite a bit of time in the area. For views, recommend Iron Horse. Ryme in Forestville is a great husband and wife operation, but no views. Joseph Swan is also under $30 - one of the OGs, but tastings are in their cellar. Whenever we go to Sonoma we begin the day with a bottle at Unti’s patio. Frankly we usually only do bottles these days. Ridge is iconic and has great views as well.
  9. They’ve been clearing the streets for Dreamforce. Just walk west on Ellis for a few blocks and you’ll get the full Frisco experience.
  10. Mondays are hard right now. In the FQ there’s Sylvain, Manolito (Chris Hannah is a partner - def go for drinks), Palm & Pine…Uptown we’ll be at Frankie & Johnny’s with a fried pork chop and red beans because Monday.
  11. And in SF he was basically a Republican. He’d have a significant perception issue.
  12. Yep, my issue is that they can sometime be too natty. I mean, I like natty, but I don’t like $80 bottles of wine that go mousey in an hour. Bonnezeaux and Angeli have those issues too. We brought the Lambert (a ‘15) as an example of something that was more classic and a better value. I will say though that the Anjou Blanc was drinking really well. Dude is hyped for a reason.
  13. Hell yeah brother. How was it? Guiberteau is sometimes way too reduced.
  14. Lambert > Boudignon imo
  15. Well this is definitely not the wine thread.
  16. Second all of this. Spent a solid year recovering from a bulged disc. Regardless of what the issue is, the solution is pretty basic. It’s mostly lifestyle: stay on your feet, focus on posture, and above all, sleep hygiene (how old is your mattress? Do you rotate it quarterly?). Oh, and sleep with a pillow under your legs, not your back like someone else said - that can overextend your back. The rest is exercise: core and posterior chain work. I think McKenzie stretches are more for disc issues, but I still do them every day after.
  17. Some real close combat footage here, two Russians get dropped at close range. Also someone in the comments pointed out this looks a lot like another video from a Russian drone released a few days ago - crazy if true.
  18. There is virtually no chance you weren’t using the term “freedom fries” twenty years ago.
  19. Guessing he’s referring to Donetsk airport.
  20. The guys falling off are actually get shot by UA troops on the near side of the road - pretty incredible footage.
  21. To be clear, I’m not the guy who dropped in and asked if it was a stalemate. I just said that wasn’t a dumb question if you follow major news outlets because their reporting lags as they verify - certainly you’re not arguing against not believing everything you read?
