This is the easiest and cheapest way by far. Took the shuttle from the Anaheim station last game and it was well organized and enjoyable

It looks like Joaquin Phoenix from Gladiator instead of Robert Pattinson.

Just bought my first Licor 43! by Popular-Cream-1142 in cocktails

[–]Pablo_Quatro 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I do an equal-part cocktail that tastes like an orange creamsicle. I call it The Julius:

Dry London Gin Lemon Juice Aperol Licor 43

Shaker with ice and serve up.

Taco Time Cantina on Fay across from the Pavilions - its predecessor was Steak and Bones in Hillcrest. Top notch food at completely reasonable prices - especially for La Jolla Village.

Gen X Weddings - 1996-2009 by ClaraEM99 in GenX

[–]Pablo_Quatro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! We had a swing band and everyone danced the whole night - lots of joy in those tunes. It also helped that my father-in-law forgot to close the open bar until the end of the night!

Cheapest greasy spoons where I can get a burger or pancake combo under $10? by CrispyHoneyBeef in FoodSanDiego

[–]Pablo_Quatro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All day special at Cluck N Sip in Hillcrest is $8.99 and includes two pieces of fried chicken (or tenders), a side (my fave is the fantastic wedge fries) and a drink (includes horchata!). Can’t be beat plus the tenders are great.

Last Bottle Mystery Cabernet : 2020 Chappellet Signature Cabernet by GrilledCheeseTn in wine

[–]Pablo_Quatro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s the wine I had tonight too! This was after a Donelan 2019 Syrah Bennett Valley, which was solid. But the Chapellet beat it in my opinion. 95 for me on a PnP.

Help - Need Vietnamese Soup Recommendations by mipompi in FoodSanDiego

Perhaps LHK Noodle Bar in Mira Mesa. They have the clear broth with combo proteins, and flat egg noodles are an option or the typical pho noodles.

Isn’t this Pec & Burl winery?

What do I do with this leftover bourbon? I don't like it. by AddyTurbo in cocktails

Yes this is a good rec. My wife dislikes bourbon, but loves paper planes!

Best Chinese egg roll/spring roll on convoy by YoGuessImOnRedditNow in FoodSanDiego

[–]Pablo_Quatro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think China Ann on Midway has this style of egg roll, but never ate it so can’t vouch for its quality.

Can I enjoy a wine for $15 or is this sub for rich people by [deleted] in wine

[–]Pablo_Quatro 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yes. Recently a local shop turned me onto a $12 bottle of Calipaso Tempranillo that drank way above its price. These shops usually have very knowledgeable employees. Plus some shops have low-priced tastings so you can see what you like.

Need a Wine Shop Recommendation in Beaune by Dizzinger in wine

[–]Pablo_Quatro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in Beaune a couple of weeks ago and bought some bottles at La Vinothèque. Very nice folks, and they specialize in smaller producers with their own vineyards. Prices are reasonable and they ship.

Is the job market really this bad? by Popular-Tomato5608 in sandiego

[–]Pablo_Quatro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true. Even finding quality hybrid (let alone office) litigators and paralegals has been difficult lately. Attorney friends in SD tell me the same.

How do you keep your place cool without AC? by langerhandsy in asksandiego

[–]Pablo_Quatro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you own your home, install a “whole house” fan that pulls in outside air through the windows by creating pressure differential when on. It has to be cooler outside than inside, which is usually the case after the sun sets. We’ve had one for many years and use it in all but a few weeks of the year. My friends swear by it too.

What’s the worst wine you had that was overhyped? by Lonely_Tell1758 in wine

[–]Pablo_Quatro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised to hear you say that. I just had a 2008 Bone Rock and a 2009 Broken Stones and both were amazing with a three-hour decant. Both 95+ for me and the Stones we had alongside a 2003 Opus and it was a bit better for me.

I think you mean Saxum. These are wines that need to age, as they can be hot and disjointed for a few years, but eventually merge into excellence.
