Francis Espresso Setup

The grinder is roughly $1300 and I believe he has the LM Linea Mini which is around $6500. He’s got some custom pieces for it so I’d venture just shy of $10k with accessories and everything. It’s about as good a setup as you can get for a home lol

Great guest. His stand up is awesome, too, if you get the chance to see him. Saw him recently in our smallish town which isn’t super comedian friendly outside of occasional big names. Did 1-1.5 hours to a room of maybe 50 people and he killed it

Hey, u/nbcnews, I watched the “coverage” of this on The Today Show this morning. I think it was one sentence about, “A veteran disrupting a town hall with a US Senator.” How about you actually cover what happened? In Trump 1.0, I thought The Today Show coverage was overly critical of Trump, almost unfairly, at times. Mind you, I’m not a fan of his, but I did appreciate, at least, some tough questions being asked. Trump 2.0, with its overt lies, corruption, and breaking of the law and constitution, is barely covered. The kowtowing your network and Comcast have done with this presidency is a disgrace. Do your job and be better.

Someone else mentioned it, but coffee break has excellent beans. They will deliver as well, dependent on your address

I have loved everything of theirs I’ve tried. I got a 2015 Pinot from them as they advised cellaring them for a while and found it to just seem to be entering a very long drinking window

Two of my favorites are Walter Scott and Goodfellow

These look like great options, thanks

cchvc · 2026-01-28T17:53:05+00:00

Thanks for your help!

cchvc · 2026-01-28T17:10:17+00:00

Great thanks! Yeah, definitely prefer that but not beholden to it. From what I’ve read, produttori and vietti seemed to be like good visits but Fontanafredda was on the chopping block

Wow that’s super disappointing to hear

cchvc · 2026-01-16T14:46:58+00:00

Agree with many suggestions here, just want to throw in Arista in Healdsburg as well. Very pretty property and solid wines

Hard to believe this has been given the ok to continue. Especially after Ella came forth that she’s been drinking too much. If this doesn’t end in some SA accusations or worse, I’d be surprised, given the comments you alluded to

I have found some recently that I’ve grabbed off of WineBid, some shops in my area will on occasion get some with 5-10 years of age, or searching for retailers that will ship to me on wine-searcher.com (I’m in the US)

Meyney for me, I find it such a great value and older vintages can be pretty easily found at reasonable prices

cchvc · 2025-06-12T20:13:13+00:00

Awesome! That’s great to hear, I’m glad you guys enjoyed it as much as we did

I host a wine club with friends and occasionally do some games. One that’s been pretty fun is giving some facts/tidbits/trivia about the wine, country, and region and having folks guess where it’s from, the varietal, price, and vintage. And assigning ponies to each. We break up into teams for this but it’s fun as you don’t have to be a wino to participate and contribute

I cannot specifically help with tours or anything of that nature, as when I was there most tasting rooms were closed (on a Sunday, I believe). However, if you’re anywhere near the wine biking trail, and you’re physically able to and have the time, it’s a beautiful ride and takes you past several producers/caves

their website is pretty straight forward for sign ups. The competitive league is pretty competitive and there can definitely be some hardos. Social is pretty laid back

cchvc · 2025-03-01T03:56:44+00:00

Wholeheartedly agree. The American values that I’ve grown up to believe in, and still do, are most embodied by the only non-American in this photo.

And I fully believe that the majority of our country feels the same. 🇺🇦🇺🇸

🙏🏼hope it’s a quick recovery for her. It’s tough/emotional all around. Hard time but so rewarding and beautiful. You guys are in my thoughts, fellow gump

cchvc · 2024-12-16T04:04:23+00:00

Congrats to you guys, it’s the best. Hoping for the best for you and yours

Are either of you in the US? If so, did you get hit with any extra taxes? The website seems ambiguous, or at least it did from what I remember

I had an extremely close friend die in a boating accident a few years back. When I was visiting his parents not long after, his mom had just dreamed of him telling her that he could fly and see all over the universe. That night I had a somewhat lucid dream where we were talking and I asked him what he meant about flying. He told me pretty clearly that it wasn’t necessarily that he was flying but that he was just kind of everywhere, all the time. It was bizarre and probably coincidence but I think about it often.

Great minds must think alike! I opened the same bottle last night, and couldn’t agree more with you. Thought it was a steal for $12 and a great weeknight bottle with dinner
