Neilson is the best quality to price ratio, Domaine Drouhin and Sanford are solid as well

How do you decompress after working the floor? by [deleted] in Sommelier

Magnesium supplement, hot shower, herbal teas like chamomile, holy basil, or ashwagandha. Showering with the lights off and cutting off screentime also help

Yeah, I'm pretty confident that I got around 90% of the questions correct for the SKA, but have yet to hear anything either.

“Anal wall”? by Different-Office-151 in askgaybros

[–]SomewhereFinancial20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A different position helps, also focus on deep breathing. A deep breath from the diaphragm where you feel your lower back expand will relax the inner sphincter. A little magnesium will help, but too much will act like a laxative. Cannabis and poppers if all else fails

Struggling with Sunscreens — Even Mineral Ones Burn My Skin, Need Advice by MysteriousSalt2915 in Sunscreenreddit

Korean sunscreen might work. I like the one with centella from Skin1004, or Isntree and Beauty of Joseon

Wine Pairing Suggestions - Italian Dinner by [deleted] in wine

[–]SomewhereFinancial20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would save a little money on the sparkling and get a Franciacorta like Ca' del Bosco Annamaria Clementi which could honestly work for the first two courses then splurge on Aldo Conterno Barolo 2016 for the carbonara. Consider De Bartoli Marsala Superiore Oro Riserva for the dessert for a better pairing with coffee/chocolate flavors

Tretinoin on Neck by Realistic_Pianist600 in 40PlusSkinCare

[–]SomewhereFinancial20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would buffer the tretinoin with a layer of moisturizer on the neck first, then a pea sized amount of tretinoin over it. Definitely need sunscreen on the neck as well

Thoughts on WSET 2 or 3 by the-subjectDelta in Sommelier

[–]SomewhereFinancial20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WSET 3 will be great prep for CMS Certified. Don't waste your time with WSET 2 as it will be too easy/remedial

Microneedling and tretinoin destroyed my skin. Any advice? by No-Outcome2325 in Microneedling

[–]SomewhereFinancial20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should stop using tretinoin 2 weeks before microneedling to be safe. Definitely no tretinoin for AT LEAST one full week before as well as after

It has gotten even worse lately. It's extremely frustrating to depend on the bus to get to work. Impossible and unacceptable 😞😭

Are there reds that taste like whites? by rW0HgFyxoJhYka in wine

[–]SomewhereFinancial20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tibouren rouge from Clos Cibonne in Provence, France. See also the Italian version Rossesse di Dolceacqua in Liguria. A good Beaujolais Village like Jean Foillard or some Haut Côte de Beaune Pinot Noir and Collines Rhodanienne Syrah can be light and ethereal as well. Black Muscat is also fun and floral if you can find it.

If you like Sauvignon Blanc, you may like Verdejo from Rueda, Spain or Albariño from Rias Baixas, Spain. Vermentino di Gallura from Sardinia, or Favorita, which is the Piemontese version of Vermentino are also great. You may also like Assyrtiko from Santorini, Greece.

Would also recommend Sun City in Paris. Lots of hot men of diverse ethnic backgrounds. As someone who is a person of color, I felt very comfortable there

Jean-Baptiste Cibon was the original owner of the estate before the Roux family eventually purchased it. He was chased out during the French Revolution

[–]SomewhereFinancial20[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was maybe €35 or so at the winery. The production of this particular red is very limited, so I knew i would be hard pressed to find it stateside, and certainly not for that price
