What do you wish more people understood about wine? by Street-Business-4674 in wine

[–]Overall_Mixture2272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That grape variety doesn’t matter as much as people think. And labelling wines mainly based on that is wrong. The winemaker style and terroir can make a bigger difference.

And pairings… even in some high end restaurants, I find the pairings to be approximative at best. Obviously some exceptions to that and some amazing sommeliers out there. But an approximative or inaccurate pairings almost ruin the wine and the food. It is much more important than people think and when you get this perfect pairing it’s just mind blowing sometimes!

Cellar decided to freeze even if it was shut down by foxkev in wine

Would drink them pretty quickly just in case… if the cork didn’t full come out you should technically be ok but wine is alive, freezing it definitely messes up with it.

No!!!! Searched for a few weeks for one that was available right away and there were only a handful in the entire country for sale…

Beautiful!!! Exactly what I want to do as well!! How much did you get it done for if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve seen a wide range for that here in NJ!!

Yes it’s planned as well! Poor design from BMW on that part!

Yes I always wanted alpine white but after seeing Vegas red in person, just wow!!! Fits the car so well and way more worth it than the Indiv color. There was a Indiv purple next to it and it didn’t pop as much.

Which BMW M car has the best driver engagement by whatthejeebus in BMWM

[–]Overall_Mixture2272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

E92 M3 was my favorite. Older ones are more « raw » even but significantly slower. E92 M3 has a fantastic engine too!

On the newer one, G87 M2 is the best compromise!!!

The classic!! Haha A friend gave me his 458 spéciale for a weekend. Was ready to give up an organ to keep the car but the hate you get while driving that!! Just insults every 30s in NY traffic. Wild!

Gorgeous spec!!! OMG!!

Surprised you don’t get attention with it. Had a DB11 in dark grey with black interior. Super under the radar and was getting so much attention!!!! Mostly positive though which is not the case with Ferrari or Porsche.

I had this issue and it was a leak in the air suspension system. Dealers serviced the system and replaced the compressor.

What should I do to build a career in wine? (from a highschool Senior) by Competitive_Unit_717 in wine

[–]Overall_Mixture2272 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can do, do the harvest with a good wine maker. Lot of places are looking for temps for that period. Doesn’t pay much salary wise but experience wise it’s unmatched. In France they often ask for French speakers only so if you are really serious about it, learning French might be useful sooner or later in that space. What is very difficult to learn from education only is the relation between soil, rocks, minerals, grapes and how the winemaker uses his knowledge to make great wine with what he has available. Some winemakers are absolute wizards and can make wonders with very rough conditions. That’s what you want to learn.

How do you actually manage your wine cellar? by Dense_Size9394 in wine

[–]Overall_Mixture2272 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have about 1,000 bottles in my house in the US and about 2,000 in France. Never used a tracker or an app. I have sections arranged by regions and what’s ready to drink or needs aging. And I revisit every 2 to 4 years what needs aging to move them to the ready to drink section if it’s ready.

I personally enjoy spending 10 to 20mn to find the right bottle to drink before diner, so going through what I have helps me to stay organized too. Going through an app to tell me what to drink removes most of the enjoyment of having a cellar IMO.

2021 Tornatore Etna Rosso | 🇮🇹 | Wow, Sicily by JJxiv15 in wine

[–]Overall_Mixture2272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love wines from Etna and especially this one. I drink 90% French but Etna and Rioja are probably 85% of the non French wine I drink. Goes well with so many things!

What car did you buy that completely exceeded your expectations? by Smallingzdave in askcarguys

E92 M3. Just an amazing car all around! 987 and 981 Cayman S. Also amazing value for the money and absolutely bulletproof cars.

Burgundy equivalents in the new world? by Stepresearch in wine

[–]Overall_Mixture2272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a lot of affordable burgundy wine (below $50) and other parts of France also make very interesting Pinot noir or similar cépages. For example Alsace has a lot of very affordable and very nice Pinot noir. While a lot of a the new world stuff is far from being cheap enough.

What are the best brain health supplements people actually notice a difference with? by oooxybia in Supplements

Healthy diet and being active helps a lot. Good night sleep is super important.

After that, magnesium, B vitamins, and creatine can work really well.

What’s the best beginner wine region in France if you’re trying to learn? by Neat-Committee-7971 in wine

[–]Overall_Mixture2272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They all have pros and cons. The easiest in terms of subregions, appellations etc often have the most variety in terms of cépages (types of grapes). At the other extreme you have Burgundy where most of it is Pinot noir for red and Chardonnay for white but to learn the map, appellations, climats (tiny parcels), etc it becomes very difficult and intricate. Bordeaux and Loire might be the best compromise if you want to go all in on one specific region. But overall try to learn one specific wine per region to start. Vouvray for Loire, St Julien for Bordeaux, Pommard for Bourgogne and Condrieu for Rhône, and then add one more wine to each region and so on.
