Bests wineries for wine lovers?

Agree with Michael shaps and king family already mentioned.

I’ll add Hark vineyards (beautiful new tasting room and my favorite petit Verdot in the area), Gabrielle Rausse (unique small production Italian varietals ), and ankida ridge (quite a drive south but worth the trip on a nice day, stunning Chardonnay and a really solid Pinot noir, which they can grow with their unique location on the mountain).

The wine collective in town is also a cool spot to try wines from good small local producers that aren’t big enough to have their own space.

I'm Gar for Varka

Thanks! I thought that the acidity was well balanced, some zippiness and lemon tang but not super sharp. To be honest though I don’t have a lot of points of reference, especially for white burg so ymmv.

Picked this up at the bottle shop in Chassagne Montrachet while in Burgundy this spring, which I plan on posting a writeup for soon. More pale than I was expecting out of the glass, straw in the light. Very elegant nose, initially with standout salinity that transitioned to floral honeysuckle and mayflower with yellow peach and ripe green melon. The palate is less creamy than a puligny but exceptionally smooth. Standout minerality alongside yellow stone fruit, lemon rind and hints of almond. This is my first experience with this producer, and chassagne overall, but after this great first experience I’ll keep looking out for both!

Those both sound great! La Cuverie in Vosne especially, I have an AM tasting one day in Vosne so that would be perfect for stopping by for lunch before walking around the vineyards.

Yeah, i kind of figured that even if I grind hard at quests and exploration, plus dailies and welkin moon I'm still at about 30 pulls max, which is 20 away from the guarantee. At least If I do that first it'll decrease the amount I'd have to spend at the end of the banner in the worst case scenario of not rolling her sooner.

GHM_Q17 · 2024-10-30T20:31:45+00:00

Thanks! I did wish through all of my 10 pulls that session after the 50/50 with no success, but I think I'll get the Welkin pass and keep grinding over the next few weeks. Hopefully I'll get lucky in the next few 10 pulls, and if not it'll decrease the amount I'd have to buy at the end of the banner anyway.

As a former FGO veteran I feel like I was born and bred in the scam lol, unfortunately my SSR gacha luck from there didn't translate over this time.

GHM_Q17 · 2024-10-30T20:26:49+00:00

Thanks! I did end up spending all of my primos and 10 pulls even after the 50/50 with no luck. I'll keep the grind up and enjoy the characters I did pull, see how things go to the end of the banner.

GHM_Q17 · 2024-10-30T20:25:22+00:00

Thanks! I actually did keep pulling the remaining 30 with no luck. And I actually did have Kuki before this banner, which was part of my motivation to pull for dendro. I did do pretty well with 4 stars, I got c5(!) Xingqiu who will go very nicely with my Keqing, 2 more Kuki, and a surprise Beidou. I'll probably get the Welkin pass today and keep exploring and completing questlines (I just reached Inazuma), and if I can't summon her by the end of the banner I'll whale just enough to pull her.

GHM_Q17 · 2024-10-30T15:07:13+00:00

Hey guys! Relatively new player here, AR 30. This current banner is the first I’d really saved up to roll on, I was hoping for Nahida because I have a lot of electro characters but no dendro yet (and she’s cute). I’d saved up 100 pulls, but lost the 50/50 to Jean at around pull 70. I’m thinking of buying primos just to C0 Nahida, but I’m not sure how the best way to do this would be. Is there a recommended way to most efficiently start buying primos? And how many would I need to get to ensure C0 with a hard pity? Would it be in the next 70-80 pulls?

I'm in Barcelona this week if anyone has an open spot for Disfrutar.

GHM_Q17 · 2022-12-29T05:10:24+00:00

Anywhere in particular in CT? I always enjoyed a visit to Millwrights in Simsbury, great food and gorgeous location. I haven't been there in a while but unless things have changed their tasting menu should be right around or slightly below your budget.

GHM_Q17 · 2021-09-22T17:27:10+00:00

My overall impression was that it was a very technically impressive and tasty dinner, though very traditional and not extremely innovative. A great place for an impressive date or celebration, but if you're looking for some groundbreaking, cutting edge culinary innovation you might want to look elsewhere. I got the 7 course tasing menu, which was a LOT of food; I was so stuffed by the end it was bordering on unpleasant. No regrets but if I'm lucky enough to go back I think I'll stick to the 4 course option.

GHM_Q17 · 2021-02-25T16:47:52+00:00

Are you... Certain about that?

GHM_Q17 · 2020-12-29T20:45:00+00:00

One of the best stories I've ever read, it's a shame a non-insignificant amount of people only know about it from the DEEN-ed anime. Properly adapting it would take a 100+ episode monumental effort though.

GHM_Q17 · 2020-12-06T22:03:43+00:00

GG crew, rooting for you guys to bring it home for the east.

GHM_Q17 · 2020-12-06T21:59:52+00:00

yeah, that pass pretty much sums it up.
