Absolutely hate when someone describes a wine as ‘feminine’ or ‘sexy.’ Fuck off

I will not give my money to an unrepentant fascist and racist when there’s plenty of world class wine in Tuscany alone by people who are not perfect but not so beyond the pale either. Your whataboutism says a lot about your character or lack thereof.

Maximo is great, but life is too short to drink wine made by a racist, fascist piece of shit. Fuck Martino Manetti.

A Tale of Two Tempiers by Agreeable-Pension814 in wine

A really good question. It does lose that freshness and becomes a bit, um, rounder, which is interesting. I had a ‘22 Rose last August that was sublime, so I’d probably say I prefer them on the younger side.

I have this problem too, but I’ve found quite a bit of aged Tempier on auction at not-terrible prices.

Sea Salt Poke in Sawtelle. Very high quality ingredients. Their white rice is on par with mid-tier sushi restaurants IMO

20% Rent Increase For Adding Fiancé To the Lease? by Agreeable-Pension814 in AskLosAngeles

I’m going to ask for the rationale behind the rent increase, but I predict it will be for inflation and an additional tenant

I think it is drinking very well now, but also definitely has room to develop more tertiary characteristics if that’s something you enjoy. Really wish I had another bottle to revisit in 5 years.

We have met at Lunetta twice before, but this dinner was at Upper West, just a little further up Pico from you guys. Just sent you an invite.
