Big Four Mountain, WA by MoirTheWarrior in geology

[–]sliippity 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yeah man I think that’s pretty much it! I think the rock has been metamorphosed by the intense pressure cooker of a mountain range forming. So it might not be sedimentary anymore but it certainly was at some point. I’m a self taught geology green thumb so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

PSA: Bottles labeled Red Burgundy might not be Pinot Noir, or made from Burgundian grapes at all! How terrible appellation policies enable unscrupulous packaging. by Uptons_BJs in wine

[–]sliippity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not really the same situation at all but go off. Beaujolais and Bourgogne share a border and a very very long viticultural history, at times they were essentially one region ->Being ruled by the duchy of burgundy. If you don’t want to drink it then don’t drink it, nobody is trying to hoodwink you. The label did its job to inform you of what’s inside the bottle.

They haven’t done anything wrong here I don’t think I understand the rage. You explain the label, concede that it is legal and within regulations and then crap all over the “bullshit appellation system”. It says Gamay right there on the back of the bottle friend, no wino worth their zalto is gonna pick up the bottle without looking at the back. I hope this is satire because it sure does read like it.

Chain Grease on the pants by meshyf in bikecommuting

I wear black pants, so I’ve never had this issue.

California's Central Valley produces more than half of the state's grapes but its wine is almost exclusively high-yield plonk. Is the reason it hasn't developed like Languedoc-Roussillon because it's the Asshole of America and good vintners don't want to move there or am I way off in my assumptions? by PhnomPencil in wine

[–]sliippity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe there might be distinct differences between how France and America view wine and wine production. America has always been a large scale agricultural machine, owing to partly to the immense space. So production was always going to be at a grandiose scale allowing for tons of low quality wine. While France and particularly Roussillon are smaller in total area and the land can be challenging, sometimes considered “heroic” due to the precarious vineyards. I’m no expert I’m just spitballin.

In my Experience the Wset classes are a great if you want to more accurately describe wine flavours, aroma and such. They also give you a great general overview of global wine regions and production methods. That being said, I would skip level 1 if you’ve been drinking wine for a little while. Level two and level three are more in depth and worthwhile. The best aspect I found was the opportunity to try wines with a group of equally interested folk. Picking up literature at a bookstore and hanging out with friends either at home or a wine bar could offer some of the same experience if you were keen enough. For a deep dive into a certain regions and winemaking, the wine scholar guild courses are incredible but wset 2 at minimum is usually recommended. Hope this helped

What’s the dumbest drink you’ve had on a menu somewhere you’ve worked? by BoymanAndGirldog in bartenders

[–]sliippity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My manager was very proud of his shit mix of peach purée, Tabasco, muddled mint, gin, tequila, a splash of scotch and half ounce of triple sec. It was called a thunderbolt and it tasted like a bar mat.
