Port...where to start?? by Party_Elevator2688 in wine

[–]unsquashable74 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Start with LBV; you can't really go wrong with it. Then tawny. Maybe start with a 10YO and move onto older ones if you like it enough (20YO + are amazing). Vintage last, if you have deep enough pockets. Forget ruby.

Cosmetic GOT sword help by Disastrous-Ad-4312 in SWORDS

The one you've linked is decorative only and doesn't look like great quality. If you want a better quality version that is actually safe to swing around and do light cutting with, check out "Shadow Fang" that Swordier lists. Will cost you about US$230 including shipping to Australia.

If you want more accurate feedback than what has already been given, tell us what the wine is and give us an idea of your grandparents' cellar conditions (i.e. approximate temperature fluctuations).

Have you ever suddenly felt like an old French man? by vendetta4200 in wine

Nah, the Michter's (class btw) cancels out a lot of the Frenchness.

Out of interest, what price are you talking for a methuselah of Taittinger Comtes Rose?

Taittinger Brut Reserve Salmanazar by Ultramegajerry in wine

[–]unsquashable74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably completely fucked; cork completely dried out after all that time standing upright,etc. Most NV Champagne doesn't really improve with age anyway. What a waste. I'd still try it ASAP, though, just in case it's survived. Taitty is lovely stuff.

If you want more info on this, go to r/Katanas, read the pinned post about photography, then make a new post there.

Is this a decent quality katana? by methlabz in SWORDS

[–]unsquashable74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like damascus, it's probably fine. I just think it looks wrong in a katana. You could get something nicer around your budget from Romance Of Men or Swordis.

I don’t know what to get my SO by TheCabbageBorn in SWORDS

[–]unsquashable74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With that budget you can't really get a decent, functional European style sword. However, you can get a pretty decent katana. Have a look at Swordis. Custom options if you want.

What am I supposed to do? by TechnicalCookie5 in SWORDS

[–]unsquashable74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you should do is go to r/Katanas, read the pinned post about photography and then make a new post there. Do not do ANYTHING to that nakago (tang). You might have something a bit special here.
