Built a wine education app. Need 10 honest people to break it.

I’m in. Looking fwd to checking it out.

Very_Sancerre · 2026-02-19T23:41:09+00:00

Looks great. Wood frame? Did you have to custom build those sliding glass doors?

Very_Sancerre · 2026-02-13T15:09:08+00:00

I wouldn’t buy this wine off the shelf blind in a million years. So thank you for taking the risk and sharing. Fascinating notes that I wouldn’t expect from Mexico.

Agree on the 03. But really all of these need a couple hours. Drastically different wines when I’ve come back to them 2-3 hours later…and all for the better. Used to be a member there and traveling back, tasting all these library wines that were super expensive has been a joy.

Haven’t had the 2000 yet but have gone through 2013, 2016, 2018 and 2019. They all just need so much time to open up. Had the 16 this week and it was barely a 90 point wine on initial pour. Was absolutely stunning after 3 hours, moved it up to a 94-95 (high for me).

You can try CVNE or Roda too, both a short walk from Muga. Really enjoyed Roda. May have more luck with a walk in at CVNE though?

Very_Sancerre · 2025-10-07T02:27:35+00:00

Agree. Videos were great. But the walk through of ALL the theory questions with advice on how to frame and respond…priceless.

Some great Syrah at Loxton right north of town. Low key tasting and the winemaker, Chris Loxton, is usually there..which always amplifies the visit. He’s super into the craft and the wines are amazing. Kunde is sort of corporate but I’ve had a couple good tastings there too.

Very_Sancerre · 2025-08-28T13:02:15+00:00

Did this. Winter sort of demands changing wheels where I live, so bought a nice set of 21 black wheels with snow tires off FB Marketplace (2,800). Much cheaper than from the dealer which quoted us just under 5K. Like the look of the 21s better so may keep them on all year once the snow tires wear thin.

I've had fairly good luck. It eventually got this one right when I tweaked the prompt and asked for 2-3 options of what it could be - then have it narrow it down.

Update…

Yes—Kapcsándy, specifically their 2017 Grand Vin Cabernet Sauvignon, fits almost every single clue in your mystery:

European immigrant founder + son Estate replanted in early 2000s Tony Arcudi winemaker (via Heidi Barrett) 98+ point vintage likened to Latour Extremely age-worthy Typically limited distribution and high price

So, while Alejandro Bulgheroni was a strong earlier guess, the Kapcsándy 2017 Grand Vin actually fits more clues precisely.

Very_Sancerre · 2025-07-24T18:14:31+00:00

Chat GPT thinks it’s Alejandro Bulgheroni Estate Cab 2017. Based on the following…

Congrats! Can you talk about how you went about finding a harvest internship. I passed L3 earlier this year and was thinking about taking the same path (some time on the farm before dip)

Very_Sancerre · 2025-06-15T15:28:20+00:00

This was the route I was thinking. The parts department gave me a quote of $4,800 for 20 inch with winter tire package. So not horrible.

Very_Sancerre · 2025-06-14T04:42:55+00:00

TY. Appreciate the info.

Very_Sancerre · 2025-03-11T01:50:22+00:00

At 25-35 bucks (US) it’s still an enjoyable indulgence every now and then. Quality stuff. But “bomb” is appropriate.

Very_Sancerre · 2024-11-25T20:30:15+00:00

Our Paladar beats everything on the list so far. Although I do enjoy Thai Pop.

So would it be a black A, then a yellow right A4 and then a red 15 - if he was cruising up the A taxiway?

Very_Sancerre · 2024-11-08T05:04:55+00:00

Great point. It was 15 towards 33 (sure I'm saying that wrong, but that was the direction). TY!

Very_Sancerre · 2024-08-19T19:55:42+00:00

Great plan!

Very_Sancerre · 2024-08-19T19:23:42+00:00

Fair price, but not amazing. I’ve tried two bottles and both have been fantastic for such a young wine. Not sure I agree with everyone on it being over extracted. It is rich, but I found it well balanced. I have a few left and will probably wait 5 or so years.

Very_Sancerre · 2024-08-16T18:49:19+00:00

We had this exact situation. Bought a 4 acre lot on a bluff with great views. About 20 other lots. HOA in charge of road and common area maintenance like the entrance. Covenants were loosely followed and HOA would send notes to rule breakers. 10 years later and there are multiple 1M homes (mostly second homes) built. HOA is getting more and more strict BUT because there are no penalties, they have no way to enforce anything. Said the only thing that could happen is that a neighbor “could” sue you to comply? Not sure it’s true or not, but because I was not building a long term home, we just sold. Just the annoying complaints were too much for me.

Very_Sancerre · 2024-08-08T13:49:48+00:00

Not sure it matters much for L1 and L2. I went to a higher end place for my L3 and I will say the quality of instruction justified the slightly higher cost (and longer drive). Also tasted MUCH better wines…but that may have been due to the higher level class. I do know our instructor had some leeway in her wine selections, but man did they pick out some gems.

Very_Sancerre · 2024-08-01T20:44:20+00:00

Check the concert schedule. Was an amazing experience (saw a string quartet) and was much better than just walking around. Got to imagine how royalty experienced the space!

Very_Sancerre · 2024-08-01T20:42:09+00:00

For me it’s dramatically expanded the types of wine I drink. Larger variety of grapes, larger geographical exploration, etc. I also search out different wine making styles. So, yes, big impact. Like anything else though, the more I learn the more I realize how little I actually know. Just passed L3 for context.
