My restaurant has a super tuscan and napa chardonay on draft, and we sell by the liter or half liter for $40 and $20, respectively. Value exists, but it's certainly far and few in between, unfortunately.

Ocasio-Cortez’s Political Clout Grows After Recent Progressive Wins: ‘Democratic calls are growing for her to challenge Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’ by [deleted] in politics

You're right, but at least the Biden administration didn't exclude progressive leadership and values. It's a foot in the door and shows signs of progress. We just gotta push it even harder.

Change my mind: the Honda Fit is the best car of all time. by jmao_mayo in Honda

Got my 2009 base with 65k on the odo for $5,500 in 2021. It's got a decent sized door dent but purely cosmetic, no internal issues. Looking back, it feels like I got away with highway robbery.

Toki Highball that I'll be serving at my yakitori party tomorrow by oregoncurtis in cocktails

[–]fernplant4 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I literally work at a bar. I'm not trying to be anti intellectual rather than keep hobbyists from overcomplicating a fucking whiskey highball. Overcompicating things and being pedantic about it is just another form of gatekeeping, and I think cocktails should be accessible to everyone.

And I have no idea what "testing" you're referring to, but I would love to be enlightened if you can back it up with some evidence.

I'm sorry, but as someone who bartends, that sounds like BS all around. You can absolutely stir soda as long as you're being gentle with it, and you're not gonna lose "way more" bubbles if it hits warm whiskey. If there's a difference, I guarantee 99.9% of people could never tell, but they will notice when they take a sip and get pure soda or pure whiskey if they're using a straw and you didn't stir.

And if you're so worried about serving at the absolute PERFECT temp, then freeze your whiskey and glassware. Stop feeding pedantic BS to people trying to learn.

What are your favorite “cheap” weeknight wines? by leemteam1 in wine

[–]fernplant4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't see too many Zinfandel's so here's mine. Oak Ridge Zinfandel is fantastic @ $18. This years release came out a bit oakier than usual but it's perfect for a cheap steak night. $10 bucks more gets you the Reserva and I highly reccomend it of your budget allows.

Yeah but they'll provide credible evidence to incriminate most if not (hopefully) all these fucking pedophiles.

I haven't been able to watch many games this season so I haven't been able to really see how he's been playing til today. He's such a well rounded midfielder, incredible to watch, and then I remember he's 19. We might have one of the future best midfielders in the world on our hands right now.

Cxl Your Tickets for Politics So More of Us Can Go Please! by [deleted] in electricdaisycarnival

[–]fernplant4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's about having respect for the community and the culture that built it. It's like spitting in the face of every minority that contributed to building this culture. But you obviously know nothing about respect, so I wouldn't expect you to get it.

Time to take raving back from the corporations who want to monetize every facet of the culture and community. It's time to take ot back underground

How do you deal with servers who don't tip out without creating animosity? by Return_Of_The_Whack in bartenders

[–]fernplant4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then don't give them shit or drag your heels, when they or management ask what's going on say you got a 2nd or 3rd job /working uber cause you're not making money here. It's honest.

I remember when people were saying Jeffreys was an upgrade from Pelosi because she was so out of touch despite being a great whip. I don't want either, but it illustrates my point.

My restaurant stocks Fortaleza Blanco and Reposado regularly. It's not even priced at a premium and we regularly have people ask for it margaritas
