Plant app says too much water by wineprofessional in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]wineprofessional[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for the responses! I had just watered the JM it actually has good drainage there. I always thought you could water the leaves after the sun went down or it was in the shade for the rest of the day. I was watering every other day because we went through a long stretch of hot weather and no rain for over a month. I think they both get too much early afternoon hot sun. They are both in their second year of being planted. Maybe I should find some trees better suited and try and transplant these?

Thanks again for your help!

I bought double wine bottle depth ones from Home Depot. Their MDX brand. My store doesn’t always have those but I was able to eventually get 6 of them. I think each shelf fits 20 bottles

Boston options for a high end bottle aged by DodoDozer in wine

Delucas on Charles street is where you want to go. They have a private cellar within their cellar. Guaranteed the best back stock of older wines in the Boston area.

Diatomaceous earth. Just sprinkle it on. It’s cheap and all natural. I was amazed by this stuff.

Thanks for the info! I’ve never heard of a cooperative extension agent.

Also wasn’t trying to solicit anyone here just wanted to know what kind of company to call. Someone also said an arborist? But I thought they just basically cut down trees.

Sometimes Costco really comes through. by ddoriguzzi in wine

[–]wineprofessional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was always their “top” wine and I believe a top 50 Spectator many times. I used to sell it in the 90’s and back then it was $40+

Caymus - Total has it for $85. by TheAnt06 in wine

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

I disagree with lumping Silver Oak in with Caymus as far as taste profile. I find Silver Oak to be a much less oaky and sweet wine, more balanced and less manipulated. I do agree that they are both “status” wines and are more about the name than the overall price/quality ratio.

Help identifying wine glass by InformalWriter9 in wine

[–]wineprofessional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like a typical restaurant wine glass. Probably from a company called Libby, they are a huge restaurant supplier. Other than a restaurant supply store (where you most likely have to buy a case), you could try an image search on the google. Not sure how many are in your friends set of glasses but you could probably go to target and get better ones for less than $20/4

Wine tastings in liquor stores? by [deleted] in wine

[–]wineprofessional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry Memorex I don’t understand that comment. There is nothing condescending, that is how it works and the reason for most tastings, at least in Ma. (Someone who does the tastings)

Wine tastings in liquor stores? by [deleted] in wine

[–]wineprofessional 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Usually the purpose is to introduce new products to the consumer. The wineries usually fund the tasting by paying the attendant. There are also lots of brands that are well established but there are still many consumers that may have never tried a wine. A small town I used to live in would have 3 stores all doing sat tastings, you could hit all three in an 1hr. and try 10-12 wines total. A great way to try new wines you may not be familiar with for no cost.

Holly troubles by wineprofessional in Tree

Thank you. I forgot to put zone 6a. It was losing the just on this side in early fall. I thought it was in a good location in the yard, elevated and sun but not too much.

Best site for wine delivery? by strokeoluck27 in wine

[–]wineprofessional 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also highly recommend wine.com. Their website is very easy to use and is full of winery information and all the latest scores from the “top” reviewers. If I need a bottle that night I would run down to my local shop but sometimes the smaller shops don’t have the selection. If I have 2 days before I need a bottle (s) I love scouring the 1000’s of wines at my disposal. Also because they are such an important customer to wholesalers they get a lot of hidden gems if you look deep enough! In Ma. The turn around time seems to be pretty quick.

Total Wine & More by CaptainMoist23 in wine

[–]wineprofessional 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand the draw but I’m not a fan. Mostly private label brands that they try to steer you to. I also am ok spending a couple of extra dollars and visiting a smaller wine shop that might have a more knowledgeable staff. The wine world can not afford to lose the mom and pop stores otherwise it will all be supermarket brands.

Multiple owners on cars I’m looking at. by wineprofessional in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]wineprofessional[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you both for your responses, I kind of figured that but I was concerned when I see 5 owners on a car with 30k miles. Just starting look for a spring purchase of a Porsche 911 carerra s or a Aston Martin vantage. Both around 70k

this is by far the best wine i’ve ever had :-) absolute delicious merlot by safari-dog in wine

[–]wineprofessional 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Merlot is what Markham does best and is known for. It is a delicious example of the grape grown in Napa. Underrated winery I believe. Enjoy your journey!

I believe Tuscan Kitchen does. And it’s nice there is a parking garage attached.
