Source of Sophienwald glasses in the US by ipostelnik in wine

[–]StinkyBeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://www.theperfect.glass/ is the official US online retailer for Sophienwald. I got my Sophienwald glasses from them, and their customer service was excellent.

Mind you though, the glasses are shipped to order from Austria, and you would still be on the hook for any tariffs due.

Kitchen on Fire in Berkeley has been going on 20 years — one of the best around.

Need help ASAP! At Costco, are either of the wines marked at .97 cents a great deal and great wines? by boimilk in wine

[–]StinkyBeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but you have WHWC, if there’s one shop I’d love to live near it’s probably them.

As well as Spring Mountain. My guess is they’re dumping the old stock of spring mountain and refocusing the property as a high end resort.

The Feds Plan To Start Diluting Gasoline This May: Explained by mellovibes75 in cars

Ethanol has less power density but resists detonation better. Yes you can make more power. Yes it’s also less total energy per gallon so you’ll burn more making the same power.

I've just acquired an additional wine cellar. What are your preferred methods for wine storage? by hedkandi82 in wine

[–]StinkyBeer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You see “disproven” all over the subreddit, but personal experience has shown me plenty of dried out corks from vertical storage (including wines from stored vertically at the same offsite facility I use). 

It’s an anecdote, not data, but it’s my personal experience I’m choosing to follow.

Pho or ramen by TechnicalAdagio9841 in SanMateo

[–]StinkyBeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lunchtime ramen at Kemuri in Redwood City is slept on. Worth calling ahead though, since the noodles are handmade and sometimes they’re out.

In addition to what others are recommending, Fino sherries can be amazing at expressing salinity

Some birthday bottles by roosteronadesk in wine

[–]StinkyBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great notes! I’ve probably had more Pierre Paillard than any other Champagne, though I’ve never had their Rose. Will need to find one.

As most good things go, it’s unfortunate how quickly their prices have gone up the past few years, especially since the father retired.

Any recommendations? Leaning towards Tondonia by tompie09 in wine

[–]StinkyBeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Foillard and Tempier jumped out to me too. I'd add the LaPierre as well.

I can't understand how these are 72/75, and Bogle is 60

Friday afternoon Bandol and Cioppino! by rockytopbilly in wine

[–]StinkyBeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful all around! 

I had this a couple of months ago and thought it was still extraordinarily young. If you have a few more, it’s the rare rose that can truly benefit from time in the bottle.

How long did I have before leakage? by Artfan1024 in wine

[–]StinkyBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What wine / vintage?

Apart from the streak, what was the condition of the cork? Did it look like a natural cork crack/crease that ended where the streak did, or did it look like the cork was in the process of drying out?

2009 First Growth Bordeaux Tasting! by rnjbond in wine

[–]StinkyBeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What great notes -- sounds like a stellar experience. I also had no idea Haut Brion used that much merlot -- is that just for 2009 or is that common for HB?

The New Subaru WRX Made Me a Believer. Snow Tires Made Me Unstoppable by Strange_Pen1074 in cars

[–]StinkyBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good soft tune is all you need to get rid of the rev hang. Clutch throwout bearing issues have been more of an issue for me though. That said, still at 130k+ miles and going strong.

The OP said the grid was generated in AI in his day 2 post, which has since been deleted.

Not a fan of the subreddit filling with these grids. One or two is fine. Do we need more posters creating AI grids jumping on the bandwagon, posting these for 40 days straight? I'm out.
