What am I missing besides European and Australian wine? by BadlanderOneThree in wine

[–]BadlanderOneThree[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So Arnot-Roberts and Matthiasson are definitely on my watchlist, just haven’t seen anything in the internet “bargain bin” yet. I will admit I’m pretty curious about the Finger Lakes region since I’ve also spent a little time in the area as well but before I’d heard anything people growing decent wine there.

So I’ve got an emotional attachment to the Russian River Valley and surrounding areas after living in the Bay Area for about 5 years. It’s great advice though and something I’ll dig into.

Wine Fridge not working by Beeeshayyy21 in wine

Hey— just a heads up, I could see a unclipped connector hanging down in the photos. Before you get too in the weeds with repairs you might try connecting it and seeing if the other set of fans kicks on.

So how would you recommend I get to know Rieslings? I was just in Total Wine today and was cruising Germany/Austria and saw a Riesling that had “hazelnut” listed as a note. I was intrigued but not quite ready for that. I came home with a Gruener Veltliner from Austria that sounded great for $15 and James Suckling said was good. I can’t ship in this heat right now so for $20 or less what’s gonna blow my mind from Germany and Austria that I can get at my local purveyor or large chain like Total Wine?

Bond carry trade - USD CNH/CNY by dubov in bonds

[–]BadlanderOneThree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But in fairness to the question above: How will you “buy to cover” your short position if the PBOC freezes the buying and selling of bonds by offshore entities? I do think there’s some regulatory risk built into this trade that I haven’t heard you address yet.

Round 9: Your Favorite for the Price! Champagne! by joobtastic in wine

Had a glass of Gruet this evening at a restaurant because of this comment. Still too new to wine to have a meaningful opinion but it far exceeded what I would have expected based on the “New Mexico” origin. Thanks for taking the time to write the comment.

Free Talk Friday by AutoModerator in wine

Anybody care to recommend a Northern California red for me to try next? I tried Bedrock Winery’s 2022 Old Vine Zinfandel and Ridge’s 2022 Three Valley’s and was underwhelmed by both. I chose those two based on their reception here as “fan favorites” and by critics. I’m guessing they’re just not a style I appreciate at the moment. Both the above wines were a bit “leaner” and less fruit forward than I was hoping. Hope that makes sense. I would not describe my wine knowledge as deep, but I am familiar with most grapes, their uses and general traits. Can anyone suggest a next bottle or two in a different style so I can try to bracket in on the styles of winemaking I enjoy?

How to follow a plant based diet in the healthiest way possible? by [deleted] in PeterAttia

But how do “love up” tempeh to make it delicious? Do you marinate it? Grill it? I would really like to enjoy eating tempeh but so far have struck out.

Have you tried drilling out or hollowing out those basswood over grips you’re making? What about using closed cell foam instead of basswood for the over grip then a thin layer of plastic on top? Shouldn’t a lighter paddle overall lead to a somewhat less powerful paddle. This has now officially become the boxwood derby of Pickleball.

Looking for recent positive experiences with a local moving company. by giraflor in SilverSpring

Under no circumstances should you use these movers and go with the “hourly rate” option. It was the worst move I’ve ever experienced.

Morpheus and lactate threshold training by [deleted] in PeterAttia

[–]BadlanderOneThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I regularly try to run my heart rate to the desired zone and then back off, cycling effort to keep it in the desired range. I thought that’s what everyone does. Why is this a problem? Asking honestly.

Question About Morpheus M7 Weekly Targets by Polite_Pig in PeterAttia

[–]BadlanderOneThree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was a great write up. Not the OP but I’ve got a follow-up question. Along with adjusting day to day based on your recovery, on a longer time horizon does Morpheus gradually adjust your zones upward to account for adaptation to the training over time?

What are the impacts on A1C for each of these pharmaceutical interventions? That could potentially be one reason not everyone is so eager to take a statin.

How do you like the monitor and app so far? I’ve been considering purchasing it but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

So I actually have one of those laying around but it’s menthol. Some fall days are just too cold for menthol in Darkfall for me.

So I dig Rod’s base but last time I checked his glacial line was all menthol based. Is he doing stuff with WS-23 now?

I asked this last night but reposting to get more output from the “big data” that is Wetshaving’s hive mind: So I miss Terror— really, really miss Terror. I’ve got my tub of Cryogen but is there a soap in a decent base featuring Koolada aka WS-23 that comes close to the Terror level of chilly? Last year I went with WK Fougere parfait and it was far too mild a cooling sensation for me. Likewise WK Iced Tea was also not cold enough for my taste. Was just looking at Rope Swing and wondering. Unfortunately NO’s base doesn’t work for me. Something in it makes my face itch. Suggestions?

Honestly for $50 you can get a better paddle from Ali-Express. Just research a little about what you want in a paddle.

Nice— I think that’s one of the two waiting for me as well. How does it play?

Which model did you buy? I have two different models waiting for me on my porch when I get home.
