  1. And best place to stay. The Lodge and the Inn are what we recommend for visitors.
  2. Oh certainly, I was under the impression you wanted to use the Bay as a launching point for a road trip (which is a great idea, lots within three hours). Yes, Muir is an easy to just to drive up to some Redwoods. Are you a hiker? There’s a nice little hotel called the Mountain Home Inn nearby that’s a good base for Mt. Tam hiking. Can access parts of Muir without dealing with the tourists.
  3. West Marin County is great. Sounds like you are down for a long drive? Since it’s summer I’d drive up to Redwood and stop in Mendocino along the way.
  4. Honestly Valette, imo. Roulot is drink now. Baby Clape. ‘22s not great imo.
  5. California, imo. et Dauvissat’s only red.
  6. 1% plus “special assessments” - usually ends up around 1.5%.
  7. Doesn’t matter, it’s the omnicause, bruh.
  8. IMO it’s really more of an example of how bizarre it is that some tiny ethnosectarian fight on the other side of the planet became the central issue of the progressive left. Noah Smith summed it my thoughts perfectly:
  9. Best town in the wine country, imo.
  10. They’re back! They left the fest after 35 years last year because of the cashless system. Glad they returned, grew up with that stuff.
  11. Gahier and de Moor, imo.
  12. I mean, it’s Pelaverga.
  13. You are a stronger man than I am. Have already gone through my ‘22s. Alain Castex, imo. Local wine merchant found a few of these in the back and had to jump on it (‘18 Canta Mañana). Always hard to get and now impossible since he has died. His wines have always blown me away with their energy and this one has not failed. RIP to one of France’s greats, they don’t make them like this anymore.
  14. 👀 ‘21s still around in Austin?
  15. Bad year for Loire, but still powerful. I have read good things about the post-sale wines, mainly the ‘17s. Anyone have experience?
  16. Not blown away, imo. Obviously a very good wine, but seemed kind of limpid. Maybe one day will spring for Silex if I’m able to secure a bottle.
  17. Beautiful opening day. Sad day when Red’s no longer has Anchor.
  18. Lodi, imo. Dude makes a mean paella to go with that as well.
