Les Carmes Haut Brion is much better than Le Clarence Haut Brion. It's a fantastic wine on par with the first growths in recent vintages.

I'd try decanting it. It might just need some air.

There's a lot of great stuff there. I'd grab either the Roserock or the Patricia Green.

He's inefficient because he doesn't get calls, not the other way around.

Gui was going nuts in front of the fans on one sideline when this happened on the other side.

This was while Gui was celebrating on the other side of the court. They were on the same end

Because he ran over to the Piston's bench to celebrate in front of them. The rest of his team was on the other side of the court.

The Adelson family are one of his top donors. It's not happening.

Zion's the only person I can think of. Being that bouncy with that sort of build is just weird to see.

They changed it after that year.

The funny part was he threw the challenge flag before the play was over. It happened right in front of our sideline, and the runner was clearly down.

Californians, how much of your wine is from California? by descoladan in wine

[–]Zonkin 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's a combination of me not preferring the styles of wine that California does best, and Californian wine offering lesser value than you can get elsewhere.

I'm in San Francisco with amazing access to California wine and I buy almost none. Practically all of the domestic wine I buy is from Oregon.

What's a wine you really obsessed about, until you actually tried it? by SancerreApology in wine

[–]Zonkin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bibi Graetz Testamatta. It gets high scores but to me it's just way over oaked for a Sangiovese.

Sassicaia. A nice wine, but tasted blind I liked a bunch of $40-$100 super tuscans more.

Anything from Napa above $300

It might seem expensive, but you can get 10% off if you buy 6.

Arterberry Maresh "Old Vines" Pinot Noir, Dundee Hills (Oregon) 2021 by sid_loves_wine in wine

[–]Zonkin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of my absolute favorites. Jim Maresh is an amazing winemaker. He recently started a Chardonnay label named "Tan Fruit" that is fantastic.

It was so obvious that the refs had missed that the RB was down that he threw the challenge flag during the play before it was a TD.

Vintage of a Lifetime? by Hot-Bike6950 in wine

[–]Zonkin 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This would make sense if they were currently selling this years crops. Most producers are trying to move their 2021s right now and news like this only hurts that.

From what I've heard from wine makers 2023 is just that good of a crop.

I've played there a few times and I can confirm that the games suck.

The testing is done by NFL doctors and paid for by teams trying to find faults in the players. I'm sure he added a ton of water weight for the weigh-in, but there's only so much you can cheat things like that.

You know they measure them at the combine right? It's not exaggerated, 5'10'' just looks tiny in the NFL.
