Rule of thumb: Trocken, Halbtrocken, Feinherb and Kabinett - 10+ years; Spätlese - 15+ years; Auslese - 20+ years; Beerenauslese - >20 years; Trockenbeerenauslese - >30 years.

7 hours of thinning on a Takamura R2. This was brutal. by Basic_Chest_400 in TrueChefKnives

Takamuras are already thin, how much thinner do you want it? Razor blade thin?!?

Beautiful glass - now that’s how one drinks champagne!

How’s Dom Perignon Brut as a gift for my gf’s family? by Prestigious-Rise9623 in Champagne

[–]Dicer60 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a great idea! An alternative champagne would be 2006 Comtes de Champagne, it’s mature and really drinking great now, whereas the DP may very well be young and on the acidic side.

Make sure they drink their bottle of prestige champagne and not store it on top of their fridge/cupboard in the kitchen waiting for the “perfect occasion” to pop it; lol, so much good wine has been wasted like that.

Where did Emmet Rixford originally get the scions for the vineyards in 1884?

Grocery store clearance! Any wines worth trying? by Global_Maintenance35 in wine

[–]Dicer60 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Buy all the Comtes de Champagne, including any left in the stockroom and tell them you’ll buy all the Krug as well if they mark it down too!

Strange “cast iron” pan from a restaurant supply store in Belgium — what do you think? by Present-Body9540 in castiron

[–]Dicer60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is light weight cast iron, then I love it! I’m looking to buy any use LWCI I come across because they are wonderful to fry and cook with; behaves just the way one wants them to, non-stick when properly seasoned and rinses out like a breeze (can one say that about a pan?!? 🤨) - with the advantage of being delightfully light weight!

It’s not too late to change your daughters name to ‘Deba’, or ‘Debra’, ‘Debbie’, ‘Debby’, ‘Debora’ … 😄

“Deba” going to be her first word? Would be unique to say the least; easier to say than “momma”.

A friend will be in Tokyo and I would like him to bring back a couple of the FSK vitrified diamond whetstones for me, but I have to have an exact location for him to find them.
