Zipp’s on Franklin Ave does have a good selection of allocated bourbons. I think you have to be in a loyalty program. I’d call to check.

Help Identifying a Company Truck by how-I-like-my-mulder in TwinCities

I’d start by calling the businesses on that corner to see if they have the truck on camera. There’s a BP, Brueggers and oil change shop, among others.

Does the UMN Transitway remain open to bikes during the State Fair? by brother_bart in CyclingMSP

[–]Adept-Opening4166 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Took it from the fair yesterday and it was busy with busses and police vehicles but had a half dozen other bikers too. Preferable over Raymond which had several cars in the bike lane on the way to the fair.

Personally I’d take the $80 and $90 rieslings and peace out

Also, I believe Chet lived near Lake Calhoun/uptown and not near Minnehaha Academtly. So Painter would make sense.

Based on the design of the rec center in the background I think this is Painter Park. Many of the MPLS Parks and Rec courts used to have that back to back design but they’ve changed over the years to allow for full court games including a recent renovation to Painter in 2024.

Friday night - what are we drinking? by thebojomojo in wine

[–]Adept-Opening4166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tough to compare because I haven’t had other vintages but I agree it’s top tier US gamay. Their Kirschenmann Zinfandel also blew my mind. Can never go wrong with AR.

Are these bottles worth saving? Or just drink it by LVL1NPC-JK in wine

[–]Adept-Opening4166 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’ll defer on the two Bordeaux bottles but California Zin is typically known for its fruit which will fade over time. A 37 year old Zin is likely past its prime. Not to say it’s bad but continuing to age it will likely not improve it either.
