9.6 Woofs is impressive, though...[:D]

I've never understood the point of wine testing. I mean, anyone can see if it's red or white ... [;)]

RE: THE THREAD!!!
ORIGINAL: JWE
Hi. Found something really good. Thought I would pass it on. Was running out of the ordinary Pinot for the holidays and went to the wine store. He was all out of the Drouhin – oh, depression. But then he went out back and came out with a bottle of some stuff he said would drink really good. It was a bit young so I took it home, decanted, and let it sit for a couple hours and had a taste. Hoot!! Pazooties!! Stuff drinks like a Drouhin ’86, and it’s only $35.00 a bottle!! OMG! Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune better watch their keesters.
Ok. It’s Californian; label is Arcadian, 2006, Sleepy Hollow Vineyard, from Santa Lucia Highlands. Taste per buck is rated at 9.6 Woofs.
Was impressed, really impressed. It’s a teensy, weensie, weensie, weensie, bit thiner than a Grand Cru Classe, but for $35 a bottle vs $350??!!!
Definitely check it out if you get the chance.
I think I'll cut and paste this into an email for my wife. She has a bit of wine knowledge. Maybe she can explain it to me. [:D]
Thanks for the tip, John. [8D]

RE: THE THREAD!!!
Mike, I think you will love it. It's structured like a French Pinot. None of that overwhelming Cali perfume crap. This is a real, live, honest to gosh, BURGUNDY! Astringent, but fruit, lots of fruit in the mid pallette, some tobacco hint on the back, and mushrooms (once it breathes). Super complex. I started writing when it was only 2 hours open, but now it's a couple hours later and the tannins are softening even more.ORIGINAL: USS America

They weren't harsh to start with, but as they soften and the pallette opens up, this little jewel is drinking like a Premier Cru (goddam close). Shoot Mike, this one is a winner!
It's looking like this one is heading towards 9.9 woofs, on the taste per buck scale. Jeez Louize.
My wine guy gets this direct; winery is small. If ya want some, lemme know. I'll grab what I can.

RE: THE THREAD!!!
59 minutes and 59 seconds after the press release about patch 2, somebody wants to know when patch 3 is coming out.
I want that person to die in a lawnmower-related accident and his remains to be devoured by gophers. Does that make me a bad person?

Nah, only if you were operating the lawnmower at the time.
It does qualify you to be a judge in Texas.

RE: THE THREAD!!!
It depends. Does your fantasy involve actually propelling the lawnmower personally or is it just a figurative desire for this person to be minced by said lawnmower? If you actually act upon the former fantasy, then you're a bad person. If merely daydreaming about the latter, then you're perfectly normal.ORIGINAL: Terminus

ETA: Thread this is not my day for smart-alecky posts. I've been getting scooped by about 30 seconds all day long. One needs to be fast on the draw to be an efficient smart aleck.

Not that there's anything WRONG with that...
Put my faith in the people
And the people let me down.
So, I turned the other way,
And I carry on anyhow.

So, the official patch 2 is now out.
Of course, this means that my visits to the Thread will be greatly reduced once Chez sends me the first turn in our new AE PBEM...

This has been happening to me ever since discovering beer.ORIGINAL: JWE
Hi. Found something really good. Thought I would pass it on.
We always went to the ordinary Pissoir first.Was running out of the ordinary Pinot for the holidays and went to the wine store.
Not that there's anything WRONG with that.He was all out of the Drouhin – oh, depression.
It obviously wasn't my friend Mikey. Mikey's had a stroke, so when he drinks, he slobbers all down his left side, so he drinks really bad.But then he went out back and came out with a bottle of some stuff he said would drink really good.
You shoulda taken 'er pazooties off a lot sooner than a couple of hours. The young stuff is pretty anxious to get goin' in my experience.It was a bit young so I took it home, decanted, and let it sit for a couple hours and had a taste. Hoot!! Pazooties!!
Which sci-fi shoot-'em-up are they in?Stuff drinks like a Drouhin ’86,
Coupla guys of us wanna know if yer likker store guy gots anythin' good fer about $35 a case.and it’s only $35.00 a bottle!!
I usually watch my own nuits and beaune and trust my keister to watch out fer itself.OMG! Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune better watch their keesters.
Not that there's anything WRONG with that.Ok. It’s Californian;
So, we talkin' deer or dogs here?Taste per buck is rated at 9.6 Woofs.
That's what my girlfriend Pinot Noir said about the first time I dropped trou on 'er.Was impressed, really impressed.
If yer weensie is that thin, the sistahs gonna laugh at you fer havin' a weedy dick.It’s a teensy, weensie, weensie, weensie, bit thiner than a Grand Cru Classe,
We talkin' booze or propane here?but for $35 a bottle vs $350??!!!
Yer a daisy if ya do.Definitely check it out if you get the chance.
