  1. Bought a bottle of Heaven’s Door Double Barrel Bourbon yesterday . Have never tried it — anyone had this before?
  2. How was the 2011 Fairchild? I've had a really mixed bag with 2011 Napa cabs in general, which was a problematic year in Napa. Had a few good, a lot of "meh" that tasted OK to start and fell off completely, and some bad ones. Opened a 2011 Herb Lamb cab last week; it was awful. Not corked or tainted, and it had been stored properly -- it was just awful. I've sworn off 2011 vintage for Napa art this point. Don't want to spend $150 again for a crapshoot
  3. I know. I just think sometimes too often we flame first, and help (maybe) later
  4. Instead of spending time debating the merits of his question, or telling him he should ask a different question, why not just answer his question? I guess you guys have never asked a question that you needed answered, and not re-phrased for you
  5. JFC dude. This is football. Despite the defenestration of violence happening with the fucking sport, it's still all about bringing the pain. Fuck off with this love shit. Apparently you haven’t learned the term “Irony”
  6. Stayed at the Andaz about 2 years ago. Nice place. Bar was great, restaurant was just OK. It is noisy because it is very near the downtown square, and there was music going pretty late. You might see if the rooftop bar at the Bohemian (very close to Andaz, and on the waterfront) will have it on. Nice views and good bar. My previous post above: "Went there in the fall of 2016. Nice area. We stayed at the Andaz, which is nice but is right on the square so it is noisy at night Drinks: go to the rooftop bar at the Bohemian — great views Restaurants: we tried a few places. Our favorites were Local 11 (Forsyth Park area), which also has an awesome rooftop bar, along with great food, and Cotton and Rye (sit on the patio if you can) Vic’s on the River was a good spot downtown for lunch"
  7. “Create the Mood” playlist for the crowd: ”Can’t Get Enough of Your Love, Babe” — Barry White ”Let’s Get It On” — Marvin Gaye ”Feel Like Makin’’ Love” — Bad Company ”I Feel Love” — Donna Summer
  8. Assuming you can safely (from toxicity standpoint) use a fuel tank, and it’s not rusted through: Will need to sandblast inside and out, and powdercoat. There is no firebox, so would have to add, along with cutting out lids/doors and putting in grates, and a smokestack.
  9. The beatdown, then Patrick Reed (and wife), and now the Bash Brothers' cat fight
  10. Thanks — but didn’t even finish my own sentence somehow. Should have been “...that had some good songs”
  11. OK. When I think iconic voice, it is a voice that a decent segment of the population would recognize within the fist few words On this thread, of those listed, Dolores O’Riordan, Neil Young, Don Henley, Steve Perry, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Karen Carpenter (though I am nota fan), John Denver, Barry White, Willie Nelson, Tom Petty and Chris Cornell qualify. The others are fine (or even great) singers, but not “iconic.” I am a long time rocker, but think Sinatra, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Roger Daltry, Robert Plant etc. Not someone you just happen to like that had a
  12. I know. I used an offset for years and switched. Sometimes I almost feel bad, except when I get up at 4 am, put it on, and go back to bed, and never have to tend a firebox or worry about temperature control. Bourbon tastes just as good while using a Traeger, by the way. Maybe better because I am awake instead of dozing off
  13. I don’t think the fingers was intended for teammates...
  14. Seriously. You would suggest Malo covering Roy Orbison in response to the original.....
  15. Yeah, tried that and it doesn’t work as well. If it’s vacuum-sealed, it works great to do the sous vide (or redneck sous vide), then firm up just a bit on the smoker. I use a Traeger (yes, I’m lazy, so flame away), so it’s really easy to do a short smoke.
  16. Reminds me of when members of the Soviet Politburo (or even the Premier) would suddenly become ill and never be seen again We can hope...
  17. Reheat in the bag in warm water, then firm up the bark with a low temp smoke
  18. Bodacious. Stanley’s is really good, but go for Bodacious (I assume you are referring to the Bodacious on Mobberly in Longview).
  19. Oh yeah — and anything we should make sure to do/see?

    Aruba

    Heading there next month. Staying at the Ritz, so Palm Beach/Northwest side. Anyone have restaurant recommendations?
  21. No, but it was apparent pretty quickly last year (2017 season) that the roster was a house of cards. Daniels has made some trades the past 2 seasons, with very minimal returns. Th patchwork they tried this year was a disaster. The best talent is lower-level minor league so still 2+ years away for the most part, and just treading water and winning 40% of your games (and winding up with mid-round draft choices) isn’t the answer.
