Originally posted by Rizzo in a box you seem to have the same general taste that I do, you would probably also enjoy Grenache and Syrah. Merlot, cab, malbec, grenache, syrah, those are my five basic red wine grapes that don't do me wrong. Of course there are hundreds of varietals, some very obscure and limited to region, but you can't go wrong with the "basics", so to speak.
once you get the grape types you like you should hone in on some regions, france, italy, california, chile, and spain are my top five. not only are there differences in the soil ("terroir") but different countries have different standards of doing things. Italy and France are pretty traditional but also experiment with and use high tech stuff, Californians are either uber scientific or are meditating outside naked with their grapes. Australians are almost all about technology, consistent good wine but nothing special, no soul. you get the idea.
the most important thing is age though. the difference between 1 year and 5 years is pretty huge, the difference between 5 and 10 is light years. 10-15 is the sweet spot for red wine, any older than that and you're really gambling. Not all wines are meant to age forever. But god damn, a 13, 14 year old bottle of wine is an entirely different affair than a normal table wine, it is pure ambrosia.
don't get caught up in the trap of buying big brand names for stupid money! One of my favorite wines/good deals is a Cali Syrah/Mourverdre/Grenache (Oak Meadow), 2003, $9.99! Have had many similarly tasty and priced wines from Chile. Finding amazing, underappreciated wine for wino tier prices is a lot of fun. I'm pretty sure most people that spend $50-$70 on a bottle of 3 year old wine have never had a proper glass of wine.
Yeah I've been pretty diligent about my trying out new stuff. Yeah wine a 2 years old or less, i n not wild about unless I'm already drunk. I did try a syrah that was good. Layer cake 2014 Argentinean malbec. 7 deadly Zins red zin from Lodi. The sanctuary pinot noir. Menage a Trois 2015 California red blend. The bottles of Sanctuary pinot noir.
Yeah it sounds like we have very similar tastes. I like complex, but I also don't want to have to choke it down.
You have any other standbys that they generally have at ralphs/trader joes? -
2019-01-24 at 1:42 AM UTC in The Retarded Thread: Sploo Needs AttentionBut yeah...trying to explain to some druggie dumbstruck why I won't drive 20 min away for $6 bucks profit...is maddening.
"What do you mean? I'm giving you 20 bucks?!"
" ....yeah dude but the profit in making is $6. I can't pay $3 in gas to drive to you man. Even if I wasn't driving, I usually don't do less than a bill man. I can't drive for $6... "
"Where are you getting 6 bro? I'm offering you $20 cash MONEY."

You're joking, but that was pretty much every other day for me for the last 4 or 5 years. "I'll give you 10 bucks if you can bring me a $7 sack. My paycheck just doesn't go thru till 9am..."

Big town, big quantity, and being a cheap jedi who's whittled down prices over the last 15 years also helps. -

2019-01-23 at 6:42 PM UTC in Random ThoughtsFuck no. God. I mean maybe I'd feel differently if I was born that way. Maybe I'd use voice to text to be a writer or something. Maybe I'd discover some profound truth in having to depend on the kindness of strangors. But that would be a tough, tough life. All things considered, I'm pretty well off and I've come fairly close to killing myself because of how shitty life was at the time. I can't even imagine not having the ability to take your own life. I have no mouth and I must scream. Blah.

I do have family in Austin, Houston and New Braunfels though, and my grandma isn't doing well, so sometime in the next year I might take you up on that. -

And despite evidence to the contrary, most people here are decent, and if you have a question about anything, there are probably a couple people here who can answer it.
Also you can say whatever you want without worrying someone will try to have you fired for it,
Wait....where's the oyster? -

Define "ordained", please.
Idk anybody who makes there own church can decide on qualifications for their priests/whateverthefuck. Some churches pretty much just exist as an affront to organized religion. I think this was one of those. But in a lot of states, it's still legally recognized, as long as the "church" is recognized and you have any sort of documentation. I'm still not sure why anyone needs some big muckety muck to get hitched. Should only need witnesses to sign off. -

2019-01-23 at 6:13 PM UTC in I have a legitimate complaintI mean ive seen people that look very similar to me. But not exactly me. With the massive number of genetic combinations and the billions of people on earth right now, the chance of there not being a handful of people in your immediate area with very similar characteristics is small.
I was convinced that weed allowed me to see things microscopically, but it was simply that I was able to focus more closely. The same way a clock or metronome seems to slow if you breathe and focus on it enough. It's almost certainly not a psychic phenomena. With the billions people on the planet, you don't think all these people levitating shit would've taken some video of something completely unexplainable, just to ruffle some feathers? -
