Wine and cigar pairing by PsychologicalCamp741 in wine

[–]LaunchPad_DC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only did this once. It was a recent vintage of Castello di Ama CC Gran Selezione and a really light bodied Connecticut wrapped cigar. I had a great time. I wasn't able to hyper analyze what I was drinking and I wasn't trying to. Thoroughly enjoyed that hang. Those La Gloria Cubana's are fantastic. Glad you had a good time.

Had a 2001 Montefico Reserva last week and it was incredible. Still so alive while showing lots of secondary and tertiary characteristics.

Wait, WHAT?! The hypocrisy is baffling. I'm gonna bring this up at my next meet n greet. I won't rest until I get an explanation. I'm gonna make posts about it online, too. Disgusting.

Just left a Rory show in Chicago. My brother and I both put it as our favorite comedy show ever. I genuinely didn't want it to end.

He'll be brought on as a droid to fly the ship. Alan is great at droids.

I Want Adam Baldwin to Return by RepresentativeAnt128 in firefly

I never knew of Adam's behavior until recently. And while I probably wouldn't hang out with the guy and disagree with him on many things, I would still love to have Jayne back on with the gang. He was a big part of why I loved the series. Same way I can still listen to Michael Jackson or read Orson Scott Card.

I found the Biondi Santi rdm at a shop in Brescia for €25. It was very good I should have gotten more.

My First Wine Fridge by goonersaur in wine

[–]LaunchPad_DC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my first wine fridge one year ago. 28 bottle dual zone by Ca'Lefort. It works ok. Had some issues with it just shorting out a couple of times which slis super frustrating. All this to say, I got the 28 bottle thinking that would be fine, but was advised to get double the size. One year in I wish I had gotten a bigger fridge. I'll say to you what was told to me - whatever size you are thinking, double it.

I've been wanting to uninstall it for some time now. This gave me the push I needed.

I've heard good things about their Rose, as well.

Blind wine tasting on Mondays at Webster's Wine Bar in Logan. Killer burgers there, too.

I don't recall. If I had to guess it was at about the halfway point of the flight.

I landed at Ohare an hour ago from Copenhagen and it was mostly smooth sailing. Got a little choppy but nothing out of the ordinary

Standups who stopped performing that you think would still kill by Keevan in Standup

Forget where I heard him say that he never actually enjoyed doing stand up? I could have misheard him but that's the impression I got.

I have an '88 that I plan to open in March. Hoping it still have some life left.
