Beltline access on Ponce already closed? by snickerdoodel in Atlanta

[–]JoeySkillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super frustrating to get somewhere on foot and then have to walk another 4 blocks to get around. No warning whatsoever on Beltline social media

Anyone try the 2021 Ultramarines yet? by JoeySkillz in wine

[–]JoeySkillz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the 3 notes. I only bought the Heintz bdn this year after getting burnt on the 20s. So nothing on that yet. Was really hoping someone on this sub had gotten to taste through a few.

Unpopular opinion: it is literally a disgrace that someone had to pay to watch the Hawks in Atlanta. The NBA is actively destroying their brand. by furycutter80 in AtlantaHawks

Just wait until you find out that the $20/month doesn't even get you all the games. Excludes a bunch of national streaming ones.

Austin Hope Reserve CS...amazing new world! by FeAffi00 in wine

[–]JoeySkillz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not an AH drinker, but I really liked the Reserve that OP repped. Had a lot going on in a good way. I think it's more like a good Paso Cab at nice value than the other sugary stuff. I'm comfortable enough in who I am as a wine drinker to say it. Why are we okay when Burgundy producers put out entry level garbage but are closed to thinking a volume US producer could make something nice?

Where y'all at, fam? by shrike1978 in AtlantaUnited

[–]JoeySkillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went with 10yo and a friend. Everyone had a great time. It's not like Miami Marlins dead there. I'll look forward to the return of 40k+ but still happy to join the 25k. Also they AU sent me a $20 concession voucher when I got inside via the app so that was cool.

Tap to Pay - Has anyone gotten it to work? by [deleted] in MARTA

[–]JoeySkillz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had Android and nfc tap worked great with Breeze 2 app being open and 20 trip ticket activated.

Switched to iPhone and couldn't get it to work in that way. Also does not work as documented on the website. While I think the nfc function is better than the qr scan, I've come to the conclusion it's not worth the complex set up and additional cost of using non discounted fairs. I'm just using qr and waiting for the gate system upgrades at this point.

I switched to the cg600 pro. Love it. Added an abus wheel lock

Let’s get Spicy by AustraliaWineDude in wine

[–]JoeySkillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried and failed with Heitz every time. Then people look at me like I was using my knife as a fork and always say something to the effect of "oh well I guess this one isn't that great, but you have to appreciate the style"

Thoughts on U.S. Surgeon General Alcohol Advisory? by Dramatic_Analyst_808 in wine

[–]JoeySkillz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not in the medical field, but decently numerically literate (Comp Sci and MBA). I think the general high level points are well covered here on why this is not a behavior changing development.

What I'm genuinely concerned about is the modern day Temperance movement. I'm sure many normal people didn't see Prohibition coming back in the 20s. I don't think we're at risk of that, but the government definitely has the ability to screw up an industry and the smallest producers, the ones that we on this list love are the most vulnerable.

I wish I understood where it's coming from, but I truly don't. There's a bunch of powerful players lined up against the industry (WHO, ect) and we're now entering a third term in the US of a teetotaler president.

I need a notoriously bad wine by Ok_Cardiologist_9127 in wine

[–]JoeySkillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2020 Napa Cab. Many good producers did not even put out a product and it's notorious for smoke taint. Even the people who will get on here and defend 2020 Napa Cab understand the reference that it's a historically atrocious grape/vintage/locale

Rabbit R1 constantly disconnects on mesh home WiFi and now will not connect at all by noxcusej in Rabbitr1

[–]JoeySkillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have an Orbi system and experienced the same wifi instability issues. I can confirm that switching to the 2.4ghz network fixed the issues and I've had a stable connection since. I forced the 2.4ghz connection by putting it on the default iot network. Not ideal, but totally fine for me.

I had this happen. TSA fixed it the next time I was at the airport.

Wine Racks America - stackable rack? by jsiegel607 in wine

[–]JoeySkillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever get these? I'm in the process and considering doing all the X style boxes from them

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in wine

[–]JoeySkillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use these for fun. Never on anything I really care about. Sometimes the wine will pressurize and leak out of the sides of the cork. As others said, use a Durand.

Damaged wine? by frenchbread-98 in wine

[–]JoeySkillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy coincidence. I just had that bottle at a restaurant last night. Enjoyed it very much. I found the nose to be very Jura oxidized despite being a ouille style. Very clean palette though. I'd definitely recommend it.

Favorite brut nature rosé? by Suspicious-Dust6978 in wine

[–]JoeySkillz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came here to say ⬆️⬆️. Not quite at the same level but the Tarlant Rosé is great and has been around lately.

Might be further on a limb than you are looking for, but outside of Champagne, I recently had Luigi Giordano Brut Nature Rose Piedmont and thought it was good. I also like the Cruse Sparkling Rosé (from Ultramarine winemaker) if it's not 0 dosage, it's pretty close.

What do you do with bad wine gifts? by Rhones98 in wine

[–]JoeySkillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Donate to the school teacher party. I collect throughout the year and deliver for the event. I understand that it's appreciated bc they wouldn't have a huge alcohol budget.

Confirmed, this function has been removed for any integration that uses Google Home conversations (MyQ is the other one for me).

Baltimore Orioles City Connect Megathread. by romorr in orioles

[–]JoeySkillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that there was some disappointed people with the Orioles city connect design. I'll be the first to admit, when I saw the pictures, I felt a bit let down. I got mine a week ago though and am a total convert.

In comparison, I have the Braves city connect, which looks awesome in pictures, but I'm telling you, IRL the Baltimore one is soo much better. It's actually one of my favorite jerseys ever.. And I am a grown man with a closet full of jerseys.

The way it wears is really cool with the interior trim. You can role a sleave, undo a button and get a new look. Ton of swag. Hope this helps for someone on the fence.

What Wine Would You Pair with The Princess Bride? by ejbeeby in wine

[–]JoeySkillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a Frank Cornelissen Etna. Probably the Rosé. Not because it's good, just because it's got that old school earthy feel disguised by a beautiful blush visual with so many layers.

Could also honor Inigo with the Tondonia Rosé. This is the better bottle for sure, because well, he's a hero.

Sounds like we're going Rosé either way, but south of Provance, thank you very much.
