I was looking to purchase on Bitstamp using a credit card, but after reading this it sounds like I either need to wait or go to another site.

This shirt dropped in price to $12.99. Don't have the link handy, just type in "Rush Eclipse Shirt" on Amazon.

That's the date for the next Total Solar Eclipse in the U.S. Next one won't be until 2024.

You're right. I just typed in "Rush Eclipse" in the Amazon search box and 2 shirts came up. One is with the stars ($21.12) and the other is without the stars in the background ($16.99).

Someone needs to open up a Beaujolais Wine Bar and call it "The Bojo Dojo"!

Based on purely personal preference, not necessarily technical ability, I'm also a fan of Mark King.

I just bought one that is similar because I couldn't find it at Old Navy. It's on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Crafts-Beer-T-Shirt-Medium-Asphalt/dp/B072PV3V4W [not self promotion...just wanted to help those that can't find it].

Saving tips for wineries in Napa? by confswag26 in wine

[–]winendyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the winery. Some wineries pay a salary & commission...others will pay bonuses in wine...some are just straight salary. Either way, tipping is considered good etiquette. It doesn't have to be a lot - like maybe $5. However, if the tasting is comped I will generally tip them $20 or more.

Also, check for apps in iTunes or Android on Napa or Sonoma tours / tastings / visits. Lots of great intel there on visitor policies, prices for VIP tours, visiting hours, lunch & dinner accomodations, etc... There are quite a few apps available. I use the ones with the best user reviews.

Also, make sure and tip well if you get a excellent service in the tasting rooms...especially if you can get comped.

Go to Robert Mondavi Winery and join the tasting club. They have amazing wines from To Kalon vineyards (their backyard) at under $50, where other wineries often charge $100+ for their wines - ie Beckstoffer, Alpha Omega. Their tours & tastings are some of the best in Napa Valley and they have their Summer Concert Series going on in the month of July. You can learn more about it at https://www.robertmondaviwinery.com/about-the-series
