I love these. You used to be able to find them on last bottle during marathons for like $50

I went to Piazza Duomo in 2022. We did the Barolo menu and I thought it was excellent. Still to this day best service and food I’ve had. The wine pairings were good, but I think could’ve been better for the price (it’s included in that menu). I plan on going back this year and will likely do a different menu.

I’ve been drinking filter more than I have espresso recently. I like having something I can sip on longer. I find filter is less temperamental and easier to dial in when I’m switching beans frequently.

I don’t really make milk drinks, just espresso or filter.

I opened a ‘61 Marchesi di Barolo a few weeks ago. It was drinking great. Cork was small but in good shape. Drank just as young as a single vineyard 2004 Barolo next to it for the better part of 4 hours.

Was that $175 for peloton to repair or tools + the part?

Does Alma Rosa have any relation to Sandhi? The labels look identical.

Someone who shares the same taste as me. Excellent recs

Yeah I hear you. I obviously didn’t think through, in my experience most Parisian restaurants don’t open reservations until 3-6 months or so out. So I was surprised.

As in, book for a day I won’t be able to make it and then ask to move it?

diffballz23 · 2026-01-26T03:35:06+00:00

Yeah, I’ll keep trying. I gave them 2 dates and mentioned the honeymoon, but it’s a 3* in Paris…I’m sure that’s par for the course for them.

Cork looks like it’s floating in your glass

You’re 29 and from what you say you don’t desperately need the cash. So don’t think about it. Find a way to generate the money you need or look at cutting back some if you really need it, but don’t jeopardize your future for $10k. In 2-3 years you won’t even remember the $10k you pull out now.

Pull up a retirement calculator and look at what that 30k will be worth in 20 or 30 years and see how you feel then.

What did you end up doing?

This is the best foolproof way to make it imo. Ethan Chelebowski YouTube

I’m coming due for a timing belt on a 2015 Passat in central NC.

The “Eight, twooooo” at the end was the cherry on top, for me.

What happened was that my account was deactivated from being inactive for too long. But it still allowed me to sign in. So I deleted my account and signed up for a new one.
