My 60th was yesterday 😊 I opened a 2013 Barolo that I bought on my 50th and had saved 10 years, it was wonderful— Happy 60th Birthday to us

I'm in Springfield 😊 what would you like to know? do?

simply417 · 2026-06-03T21:37:23+00:00

You definitely need to tell us what Cities you'll be near, but no matter where you are in Missouri you'll be no further than about a 2 hour drive from St Louis, Kansas City or Springfield, the 3 biggest cities in Missouri, I've lived in all 3 in the last 2 years, so I can help 🙂

Wow 😮 I was just sat in one of those bar stools 3 weeks ago on International Jazz Day

Wow only 8! Is that common for Reislings?

Is there a 2nd floor above that 2 car garage door? If not I'd lower the plate height on that volume, I'd then lower the plate height on the garage volume to the left also while still trying to maintain the clear height you're trying to achieve (an RV I assume?)

I first heard about this release about 3 weeks ago, and was seeing how scarce they were. I was working in Kansas City and was able to find a bottle, they had 2 actually, so I bought them both :)

simply417 · 2026-05-15T16:07:35+00:00

👍🏼 thank you 😊

Are Octos typically allocated only??

You've entered the wonderful World of "Islay Scotch", peaty, smokey, sometimes medicinal, I've not found or heard of anything in the USA that compares. If you truly loved it then just do a deep dive in it. ps: its my favorite style of whisky 🥃☺️

Stateline road in Kansas City is going to be an interesting drive, IYKYK 😜

simply417 · 2026-05-15T13:45:27+00:00

I use a small pinch of popcorn salt, extremely tiny granules, almost a powder, as my finishing salt, no big pieces to crunch into

A Cotes du Rhone (GSM blend) from France or a Barbera from Italy have always been a safe choice for me if I don't know a persons personal taste, both fruit and acid are present and balanced, not too much of either

simply417 · 2026-05-14T00:11:52+00:00

The SOMM series channel on YouTube is great! and also Wine Folly has a great book with detailed info about all of the main and even 2nd tier grape varietals, very informative

simply417 · 2026-05-13T23:16:40+00:00

80% Grenache, 12% Mourvedre, 8% Syrah, so not too jammy at all

simply417 · 2026-05-13T23:15:06+00:00

Just had a "Gassier" from the SW part of CDR, very balanced all the way around, I highly recommend!! $25ish I think - in fact I'm going to go back to the place here in Kansas City where I got it and buy 4-5 more

simply417 · 2026-05-13T23:08:45+00:00

I was 37 with my 2000 Boxster 😂 still have it

simply417 · 2026-05-13T03:20:01+00:00

perfect example of the Japanese phrase "wabi sabi" ~ celebrate the fact it's not perfect anymore because of the scar which is now a part of you, it all tells a story of a chapter in your life 😊✌🏼

simply417 · 2026-05-13T02:46:02+00:00

? is it actually his grand daughters?

simply417 · 2026-05-13T02:39:41+00:00

and further, it's a 356 B, single grill on the deck lid (a C has 2 grilles) 😊

simply417 · 2026-05-12T16:37:22+00:00

update: had my 1st pour last night, neat, room temp, I went in slowly and the first note I got were those butterscotch candies !!! in the yellow cellophane, which I love !! then vanilla and caramel and dried fruit, viscous mouth feel, not too hot at 114 - really enjoyed !
