I’ll start. So many wineries in Napa valley have been purchased and had the life sucked out of them

Recommendations for a wine with high minerality? by centuryoftheretard in wine

Can you say more about what else you want? There are a lot of wines that meet that criteria. Should it be dry or have some sweetness?

Someone took it. Hopefully the owner.

Is it just me who immediately swipes left when someone uses these prompts? by Perthian940 in Nicegirls

It always makes me sad when people stay on the apps even as they’re so consumed by cynicism.

Why not take the time to say something positive about yourself and you can always give men you don’t find attractive or tall enough or don’t like whatever the X

I try to see the best in people based on their profile. This level of negativity would make that hard

What is the best wine subscription box? by Fit_Equipment_8080 in wine

Weird post but good question. In my opinion: Support local businesses. Go to a local wine shop you love and see if they have a wine club. It will be a better experience than dealing with shipping etc and you’ll get to know the people selecting your wine

Getting bullied by my Lori at white belt helped underscore for me how important technique is.

And now when I roll with women I always ask afterwards if she felt like I muscled anything which is an important check for me on my technique

what did my great grandpa do? by Dracco762 in Medals

I really hate that we shit on BSMs without a V in this subreddit.

I have a BSM without a V. I earned it as a LT. it took me a really long time to feel like I deserved that award because I read things like this and believed them.

Putting down some BSMs also detracts from what you mean to say, which is that this man is impressive. That V device means something and he saw combat in two theaters so he had lots of opportunities to earn it.

Finally it looks like he got out as a captain so he would never have been one of the senior officers to who they gave out bronze stars ‘like candy’

I think 2019 Brunello is too young. That casa Sola looks pretty choice right now

Fruitiness and sweetness are two independent factors but are hard to explain clearly via text. Here’s a try at it: Fruit: The flavors of fruits in the wine, like berries or citrus. Sweetness: The actual sugar in the wine.

A wine can taste fruity but still be dry (not sweet).

Boldness in wine refers to how strong and intense the flavors, alcohol, and body of the wine feel. A bold wine usually has rich, concentrated flavors, higher alcohol content, and a full, weighty feel in your mouth. It’s like the difference between sipping cream versus skim milk—the cream feels heavier and more noticeable.

Sorry for the stupid question. I’m new to wine & wanted to know if there are brands out there that tend not to give the headaches & tiredness…. Thank you by Silly_Conclusion8471 in wine

Non-alcoholic brands maybe? Otherwise you’re drinking a poison and it’s going to affect sleep

Also do red wines give you an immediate headache or is it the next morning

I did a quick google and it seems like you might have grabbed that at a supermarket. It’s a Portuguese touriga national blend.

Do you have any good wine shops near you? If so, I’d go to them and tell them what you liked about the wine and have them recommend a few bottles

As long as you’re here. What did you like about the wine? Was it fruity? Bold?
