The Gipper Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 I will be having absolutely nothing on draft night....except maybe some Dasani Water. I have to do a blood draw the following morning and must fast for a minimum of 12 hours. And yes...that basically sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just right near there a couple of weeks ago....but did not stop in. We stopped into Sattui, Peju, and Robert Mondavi wineries, all nearby, instead. We also were at the Castelo Di Amorosa....a bit further up the road. Others that we stopped and did tastings at were: Cline, Jacuzzi, Etude, Trinitas, and Jamieson . Yes, there is a very, very nice winery named Jamieson there in Napa....not to be confused with the Jameson Distillery in Midleton, Ireland....which I have been to as well. Also....the Jacuzzi winery IS...owned by the same family that invented the Jacuzzi. In fact....THE very first Jacuzzi ever built is on display there at the Jacuzzi winery. A Jacuzzi is not actually the pool or tub itself, but is the device that causes the pool to "bubble" for lack of a better term. And here is the inventor with the original device which is on display there: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE FOLLOWING WILL BE ABOUT SOCCER, DON'T READ IT, GIPPER Well, I can see how you play a 2-2-4, even a 3-2-3. But 4-1-3? I imagine it is more likely a 2-2-1-3, with 2 strikers and the other 2 somewhat behind and close to the sideline like wingers (I had too look it up, I don't know the soccer positions in English...)

Yeah, close the sidelines, get the defense to open up a little, flank from the sides or push down the sideline and swing back to the middle after the defense is drawn away. .

I am not the one you have to worry about. I have no control over what content goes into these threads.....but the guy who does have control is vehement about not having soccer talk on this forum. It usually gets shifted to the Barber Shop. Plus....all the winery talk may give it an extra push. But...maybe the beer talk saves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wine equivalent of getting an autograph from the President. Not sure if you know, the "Hills" part of the name is from the family that bankrolled the vineyard and winery, the "Hills" of Hills Brothers Coffee. My wine for tomorrow night- 2014 Napa Cellars "V". "Our V Collection—meaning “five” and named to honor the original five acres of pristine vineyards where Napa Cellars was founded—offers a distinct collection of sub-appellated wines from some of Napa’s most sought-after regions."

That is not atypical. The greater percentage of wineries in Napa use grapes that are grown offsight. I learned this in talking to several of the sommeliers. A few do as you say: have an onsight small plot that they have basically for show. A few actually do grow their grapes on sight...but it seems to be a fairly small minority.

TexasAg1969 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Best kept secret in California is Amador county where they have several small wineries that just sell local. Deaver makes an excellent Petite Sirah at a reasonable $27 and several of their wines just got golds in the SF contest. Their Angelica Port got that rare double gold as did their Old Vine Zinfandel. The Angelica comes from 100+ year old Mission grapes. http://www.deavervineyards.com/product/Angelica?pageID=D0CCF0EE-99BC-6069-32A7-F4401F5F777E&sortBy=DisplayOrder&maxRows=10& Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canton Mike Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Sorry Bill & Larry, but I can't stand wine. Maybe it's because I drank (in one sitting) an entire bottle of homemade "bathtub" wine when I was 18. An old guy at work made it. I got out of bed the next morning & fell on my *ss! That is still the ONLY day's work I ever missed due to drinking. That sh*t was nasty! Beer, whiskey, & whisky NEVER did me like that. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike That was probably your problem Mike- having a bad experience with some cheap crap wine. One of my college roommates swore off wine for a long time after a similarly bad experience involving a bottle plus of Taylor (New York, not Portugal) tawny port. I couldn't drink gin for years after one 4th of July binge 40 years ago that involved a large quantity of Gilbey's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was 19 my college roommate told me we were going out to get a cheap drunk because his hometown girlfriend had called to say she was pregnant. I drank a gallon bottle of Gallo Vin Rose and stayed sick for 3 days. Meanwhile he ends up going home and BS's the father by painting an eventual trailer home life for his daughter and grandchild and convinces them to put the baby up for adoption. 'Bout 4 months later she calls to say she's had the baby. My roommate is passing out cigars and reconsidering fatherhood, but in the middle of it all he tells me the baby was 8 lbs and whatever ounces. I then ask how that could be since the baby had to be 2-3 months premature. He had not thought that part through and did not know that had to be a full term baby. He called her back and confronted her with it and she admitted to knowing she was pregnant by someone else before she even met him. He was spittin' mad, but I had to remind him they deserved each other since he had lied to the girl's father and not informed them he came from a very rich family, not a trailer park like he was painting. They deserved each other. One liar found another. LOL! Meanwhile it was a good 7 years before my wife took a wine tasting class and brought a couple of fine Bordeauxs home. Certainly was not Gallo and it was then that I found I had a knack for appreciating a fine red wine. It was the first wine I had had since that night of Vin Rose. PS-she ended up in the trailer park with the real father. (Well I don't know about the trailer park part really, but it makes for a good ending) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total Wine has it in N.M. but not near here. EDIT: Found the Clio in Austin....................will get a bottle next trip there. The 2012 they carry has a 96 rating by Wine Advocate. looks like a winner Larry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
