On the topic of me wearing men’s things I don’t wear men’s watches but I am wearing a blue men’s T-shirt to match with my comfy ladies grey sweatpants.
i dont think it would be out of line to name the establishment?
Also another check mark for escorts over civilian dates
https://banks-nearme.com/chase-near-meAnother good New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. And currently a really great price. Someone else came along and filled their cart up right after I took this picture.
"Landlust" and "The Crusher" ... does this say something about the minds of grape growers????
Cote des Roses Rose
Languedoc, France
$26 in BC Liquor Store. On sale for $23 til Saturday. I'm picking up a few :thumb:
A very pleasant dry Rose that I had with a light Italian meal recently.
My guest thought it was 4 * .
For those that want an actual drinkable white and not some silly "Summer Sipper" with an AV of 11.5-13%, while staying on a budget, then 19 Crimes Hard Chard is the winner. Regularly $18.99 bottle at any Government store (currently on sale for $16.99 for a couple more weeks), IMO this full bodied white punches WAY ABOVE it's weight class. And at 15-16% AV depending on the vintage it's not for the meek.

Think La Crema Russian River Valley.
Think Wente Riva Ranch.
Think Kendall Jackson Grand Reserve.
Fuck, even Rombauer to a lesser degree.
These start at $35 bottle and climb up from there.
You're all welcome.

I think it was you who recommended the Alta Maria Chardonnay last year. I liked that one.
So I gave the 19 Crimes Hard Chard a try last night. I had 2 glasses... yowza.
That wine hit me hard. It’s probably best I didn’t wander around the board last night. There’s a good chance I’d be in perbatory right now. I know I gave a buddy a really hard time last night... poor guy. But I meant almost everything I said.
Alta Maria is a nice budget friendly favourite of ours. I think it's still going for 14.99.
Oh Yeah!
For the less initiated 19 Crimes HC is best consumed in moderation to begin with. It's a kicker. Like I said in my OP, it ain't no "silly 'Summer Sipper' " Riding bicycles and any sort of ladder work is highly frowned upon.
Glad you enjoyed it, and condolences to your buddy.
A summer wine thread isn’t complete without Gamay. A red that is great chilled. This is a favourite of mine. 32$ at Swirl Wine in Yaletown.
Is that sort of like not wearing white past Labour Day?
Hell if my meal called for a Pinot Gris or Rose in Winter, I’d serve it.
Too many BC wines to list, I got emails from Kettle Valley and Burrowing Owl with their latest releases.
