  1. I got mine on Saturday. The last bottle I had was one of my favorites. Just awesome.
  2. I’m listening to Sparks via XM streaming. Makes the game so much more enjoyable.
  3. Yeah, I've read it's not as much like wine, but it coats your mouth and lingers forever.
  4. Damn, how was this? Have you had it before?
  5. In a cool dark place in the house. Thanks, gives me a bit of piece of mind.
  6. Question on storage. I've got stuff I want to store for 10+ years. Should I opt for using professional storage, or can I effectively store these myself? I've got two wine coolers that hold temp well and maintain a good humidity level (65%). Also, how concerned should I be for temporary power outages (12 hours)?
  7. If you’re drinking now Krug is the right answer. If holding get a nice vintage prestige cuvée. im a big fan of Bollinger Grand Annie for a vintage
  8. I picked up four bottles of the 2016 Pontet-Canet to hold for my son’s 21st (he was born in 2016). 2018 is supposed to the the vintage of the century for Champagne so I can’t wait to buy a case of that for my 2018-born daughter when they come out (in about 10 years).
  9. What does this mean? Is the lawsuit going to prevent the draining of the lake? I'm clearly not a lawyer.
  10. I’m no die-hard Texan fan, but you sound like a total dipshit when you use the NFL-Aggy moniker.
  11. Aaaaand, I’m out. Fucking tie.
  12. He also played Mr. Wilcox on the Howard’s End mini series.
  13. Chablis. Drinking wonderfully right now.
  14. Don't underestimate the ability of the American public to pay good money to store crap they will never use again.
  15. I thought I liked it at first and now all I get is cinnamon and I have no desire to drink any more of the bottle.
  16. To give credit where due, this was an ERhine recommendation.
  17. I still have a long way to go in sampling all the great places NOLA has to offer, but the last time we were there we went to Restaurant R'evolution and it was spectacular. Food, service, atmosphere; all were great.
  18. Wow, you can get drunk in New Orleans by just flying over it? What a place!
  19. I talked to my Specs girl yesterday and she said they only got 750s this year. No more handles.
  20. Try the Stags' Leap Petite Syrah; it should be in the low $30 range.
  21. This is the correct answer. Rates this time of year are a bit over a c-note early. They think it's too hot for us in the summer there.
