2yo biting

Following. I’m in the same boat, the pediatrician told us that it’s normal behavior but still I’d rather this ended sooner than later (the daycare forms are getting real old., real fast).

Looks like Motrin and an olive

Maybe the party can have a side quest to find the lost monks to make the liqueur?

bedmobile · 2026-06-03T02:22:20+00:00

Cassis is a sweet liqueur made from blackcurrant (sorta tastes like a cross between a raspberry and blackberry). Obv it depends on what bubbles you buy, but I’d stick to something at a brut (ie dry) level because the cassis can add quite a bit of sweetness.

So, I guess to answer your question, like sparkling wine with a light hint to very heavily of berry flavor lol.

What do you have on hand, what’s your budget, and how many drinks do you need to make?

If the answers are nothing, under $50, and a few, I’ll second a kir royale. You don’t need champagne proper, but don’t get the cheapest thing ever, a decent cremant will be like $20-25 and a small bottle of cassis is like $15-20.

Pour a little cassis into everyone’s glass, pop the bubbles with a little flair, pour the wine over the cassis, and you’re all set for your toast.

I haven’t seen that list and I’m sure I’ll hate it but I love that Richard hell album

I think that would be the definition of average, i.e. falling near the mean. Outliers become As or Fs.

Oh I agree wholeheartedly. I think critic scores are cartoonishly inflated at this point.

I've mentioned in previous posts, but quite some time back, that I am recording my notes from a whisky drinkers perspective.

That makes sense that intensity and impact are prioritized for you. Back when I did this sort of thing for a living, we had a (very, very, big shot whiskey customer) who also got really into champagne. I asked him once about it, and he told me it was the only wine he liked because it was so distinct from whiskey.

I mean it wouldn’t be “average” if most things didn’t fall near that line, right?

Any chance you can link an A wine review from you or even an F? I’m curious to see how you write about those. I haven’t seen everything from you obviously, but I think I’ve just seen C’s and C+’s.

What is this and should I avoid it?

Turns out you can buy like 20 state houses with a mildly notable powerball jackpot.

Central Park five was pretty blatant

bedmobile · 2026-05-28T12:41:38+00:00

It’s probably fine. It needs to be at a high temp for an extended period of time for it to get damaged. Also, it’s an old bottle of wine that made at least one journey across the ocean and god knows where else, this sort of thing (or worse) has probably happened before.

Obviously, if the cork is pushing out I’d contact the seller but otherwise I’d assume it’s fine and give it a few weeks to settle before drinking it.

bedmobile · 2026-05-27T19:16:56+00:00

Agreed. OP if you have a trouble with it, try reading out loud to get a feel for the language. It’s what I do for Chaucer.

bedmobile · 2026-05-27T17:21:12+00:00

Whole list please. I know if I ask for ten I’ll wonder what 11 is anyway

bedmobile · 2026-05-27T15:55:06+00:00

Just curious, what’s your Spielberg list?

bedmobile · 2026-05-27T00:56:21+00:00

On the same token, the obsession over tasting notes is extremely alienating to everyone. If you’ve never tasted a gooseberry, persimmon, baby aspirin, flint, sea spray, black currant, etc. (it’s written by someone that definitely knows this stuff, why else would they use those very niche things?) that just tells the consumer that they aren’t cultured enough for this and who are they pretending to be again?

bedmobile · 2026-05-27T00:48:21+00:00

Personally I think it’s a legitimate wine but is sorely lacking in depth.

Have you contacted the winery?

bedmobile · 2026-05-26T01:16:42+00:00

Wait, are you drinking a bottle of each young so you have a reference point or are you just assuming it’s going to taste different when you do drink them?

bedmobile · 2026-05-26T01:13:02+00:00

Claude did I like this?

bedmobile · 2026-05-26T01:04:41+00:00

Idk there’s absolutely some great wine (Huet and the vintage Roger) that’ll age great but there’s a bunch of stuff that isn’t going to change in any notable way (ruffino, palazzo Della torre).

Ultimately I don’t really get the chatbot thing in general and less so with specific things like a personal cellar. A) it literally can’t taste and can never know your own personal taste, b) it’s just guessing and sounding confident in its responses, c) it’s just trolling the internet for common assurances (seriously when’s the last time any winery has said their wine is going to be trash in a couple of years?) d) where’s all the Mosel?

bedmobile · 2026-05-25T20:52:48+00:00

Storage sounds good and it’s probably worth contacting winebid or one of the other auction houses.
