Thanks - found that one last night as well. Will give it a try.

Wife and Mother in Law really like the Cup Cake wines.

Aren't those insanely expensive? Might be thinking of another, but I thought those were never below $50.

I want to go to Jamaica. For reals tho.

And I signed the petition too...

I don't deserve Jamaica.

I recently went to a wine tasting party where the hosts had about 10 bottles of Pinot Noir and the labels were all hidden. Everyone tried them all over the course of the night and scored them from best to worst and gave their favorite. Surprisingly the $7.99 Turning Leaf received the most first place votes. It was pretty funny. Most of the bottles were over $20, a couple were over $50, and the $8 bottle of Turning Leaf was the most popular in a blind taste test. And I have to admit, I was one of the ones who selected the TL. I'm not much of a wine connoisseur though, I drink craft beer mostly.

All this to say, Get some TL Pinot! :good!:

It's something you won't understand until you get older. I'm not "grey headed" (yet) kind of the so-called salt-pepper color.

Right there with ya, big guy.

Some of these young whippersnappers need to get off the 'blue hair' train when it comes to unis and personal gear as well. Love me some gray and orange. My closet was loaded with Nike - before the announcement. My eyeglasses and sunglasses are even Nike. Not so much with the sticks - more of a Ping, Taylormade, Titleist guy.

Age is in the mind. Don't go there. Adapt and grow every single day.

Haven't heard of that one. Will check it out. Thanks!

Andy Katz just basically said that the Marquette job is Cuonzo's to take. Decision within 24 hours.

 

[Vols4us]

Yup. Marquel Harrell from Creekside. He'll be a Vol.

Gotta love that offer list. Glad to hear he may be on board. k:

 

[InVOLuntary]

Adding it. Is it good?

I'm more into reds than whites but I've tried the merlot and a blended red and both were outstanding for the $$.

No, I would never pay $50 for something not single malt. Average $12-15/bottle

Turning Leaf has a 3 liter box that is very convenient. We normally have one of those or Barefoot for our nightly heart remedy.

 

[Vols4us]

Much appreciation to all on the red wine recommendations from my RF brothers. Have enough options now to float a battleship; well, at least a little rubber ducky in the tub. After some trials I can take the better ones back and bump the Wine thread back to relevance again.

Gonna wait till tomorrow to take it when that buyout goes way down to screw us further.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Practice today?

Duuuuude I've been looking for a .gif of that.

Like many, I have mixed feelings on the result of this. Just do not trust Bama Dave to make good decisions yet.

Chris Mack Xavier/ Jim Crews St Louis come on down

Since this is the about everything thread - I need your recommendations for Zins, Merlot, and Pinot Noir under $25. The wine thread in The Pub is dead as a door nail. Thanks for your help in advance.

Also - all basketball haters may exit at this time.

My opinion
7 deadly zins
Any old vine zinfadel is good

Any Pinot from Oregon. New Zealand is starting to produce some good ones too.

I do not like merlot

Kinda general, but not sure what is available there

 

[tntar heel]

I have tickets 3rd row on 3rd base side for Rays vs Blue Jays. Price vs Dickey

FYI, you can take food into the Trop. We used to stop at subway prior to going in and it saved some $$. Have fun.

Heard that on Baynews 9 this am. Wife is happy, she works two blocks from stadium and gets to deal with all the traffic.

Going tomorrow night too. Hope to get JP Arencibia's autograph.

We sat by Toronto's dugout at Cincinnati 2 years ago. Yelled Go Vols at him and he came over and spoke to Jr. Good guy
