  1. If you're not looking to spend a lot the Beringer Quantum is pretty nice as is the Stags' Leap Cab (apostrophe after the "s").
  2. 2000 It’s on the neck, but hard to see. Napa had a tough year in 2000 but this is drinking nicely.
  3. Putting the kids to bed early and enjoying something I picked up at auction recently.

  5. That Joe Exotic!
  6. This is the Covid-19 thread, this isn’t where you describe strange nightmare football scenarios that would never happen in real life.
  7. Until there is widespread testing these mortality rates are all suspect. We have no clue how many people have gotten virus.
  8. So how long until we start seeing fake "I was just tested and am positive for CV" posts on social media? People love some sympathy.
  9. This here. We know how many are dying from COVID, but we have no clue how many people have it. It's hard to get an accurate fatality rate without the denominator.
  10. I know, I tried to link the .gif or video of the Simpsons clip. I was then trying to comment on my edit. It was a massive failure on my part.
  11. He wrote "bags." It could have been 100 bags for all you know.
  12. GROCERY STORE UPDATE: Just talked to some friends who went to the Bunker Hill HEB. The store is low on onions but have plenty of mayo.
  13. Anyone else having issues watching on a fire stick? Just keeps buffering and won’t even load show/menu. Upstairs and iPads work fine.
  14. I go about once every two or three months. If I run or play a lot of golf I get some serious calluses. Those birds do wonders with their little cheese graters. I don’t like them to do shit to my nails.
  15. If you're staying at the Marriott there are plenty of places relatively close for dinner. There is a big new mall (Ventura) about a half-mile away that has a bunch of restaurants. I was only there for a week for work and didn't do much outside of work, and dinner. A couple of places I went: Jardin de Asia is solid. Cool build out, asian fusion place (I don't recall with what it was fused). I went to El Arrieo for steak (nothing spectacular, but a nice enough steak) I never felt unsafe walking around or going for a run.
  16. Price is right too. I was down there in Nov and they adjusted prices somewhat to the currency devaluation but in Jan 2019 I bought six bottles for about $20 each. Still, at less than $30 it’s a great value. I also bought some Catena Zapata last time I was down and $80 was a lot better than I was seeing in the states.
  17. My office is less than a mile as the crow flies. Apparently it shook our building pretty good and knocked a bunch of lights down on the top floor. There's dust all over my desk and office table.
  18. The chasm between a grilled and microwave hot dog is immense.
  19. This dude really likes the stuff, but you're not going to get anyone here to bite for a $30 discount. Maybe offer for $50 and you might have more takers (not me, not a scotch guy).
