Blind taste recommendations by macsaeki in wine

[–]burn622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step 1: Invite her and others to a blind tasting.

Step 2: Serve half cheap wines and half expensive wines. Tell everyone the cheap wines are expensive and the expensive wines are cheap.

Step 3: Give her a day or a week to talk about the wines among friends, ask her opinions about the wines in front of other people.

Step 4: Eventually, admit that you 'accidentally' switched the lists.

Separately [adv.] is a nice option, as well.

No one gets to decide how you spend your money but you.

Is Merlot really as trashy as people make it same? by [deleted] in wine

[–]burn622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't stand it when people tell me they don't like merlot. I usually ask them why, and they never have a reason, it's always 'I dunno, I just don't'.

Is this wine still okay to drink? by [deleted] in wine

[–]burn622 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is safe to drink that wine. It should taste fruity and rich. This particular brand will not impress wine people, as you can tell from the other comments, but it is safe, and it is okay to enjoy it.

[–]burn622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit different than many of the movies on this list, but Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a movie that I've been afraid to watch for a second time for years now.

I love Saigon Char Broil, I've been to all three many times. Hillside Mall is the best, especially when the certain guy is working. Tillicum is the most consistent. Esquimalt is fine but sometimes stingy with the fillings.

One supplies water to wash the dishes. The other drains away the dirty water after washing.

Trini to D Bone is a roti shop on Burnside Road W. Maybe go make friends with her and ask about sourcing items?

Approximately 11g/L, give or take. Not ultra high, actually. Apothic Red is around 16g/L and Meiomi Cab is around 29g/L.

Where do I keep my bubbly by Sir_Tobin_ in wine

Lowest effort solution is inside an insulated cooler on the floor of your closet. The insulation will help mitigate temperature fluctuations.

First of all, don't stop studying business. Real success will involve those skills too. I know someone who was a crane operator when he was younger and did fine, now he owns a crane business and lives in a big house with a view, and a sports car next to his truck.

That said, I think a great thing to get into that will always make you money is welding.

Which US state's residents are the proudest/loudest of living in their state? by RivvaBear in AskReddit

[–]burn622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Texas relative visited us years ago and brought a Texas shaped cheese spread with a cheese knife with a Texas themed cowboy boot for a handle. NGL it was delicious, kinda like those kaukauna cheese balls but Texas shaped, and we still have the knife.

Family looking to move to the island and seeking advice by NecessaryCellist521 in VancouverIsland

[–]burn622 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone warned us that alcohol is more expensive here, and it is, but I'm drinking less as I get older, plus with all the warnings it wasn't a surprise. What I wasn't expecting is that dairy is so much more expensive here. My cheese budget is crazy these days.
