re: On average, how much do you spend on a bottle of wine?
Posted by Pettifogger on 5/7/24 at 7:34 pm
I’m always on the lookout at small upscale restaurants that don’t get their reserve list cleared out frequently because they’re in seasonal tourist areas, etc. (but if their wine program is iffy then that comes with it’s own risks).

Yep, they know you are doing that too and they create the list accordingly (for better or worse depending on their motivation)...

My problem is that i have issues justifying 50+ everyday wines that would be better with at least some bottle age, and i just can’t maintain enough aging wine to stockpile enough for daily drinking...

Depends on the host and event
My wife’s weeknight girl stuff, a 18 dollar of rose or two we buy by the case
Normal casual dinner gathering, some 35 dollar crowd pleaser type
I’m going to a wine dinner with some more semi-serious wine people this weekend, so 50-75.
I rarely buy wine spe...
re: Princeton professor tells Twitter user he can’t discuss music because he’s white

FWIW I don't think the professor is necessarily racist.
This is, ironically, more the product of mostly-white fringe leftist academic thought than racism, IMO....

The original comment was black people dont comment on raising kids in response to the racist woman saying white people shouldn't comment on a rap song. That is racist. There is no defense of it not being racist, and these weak attempts to defend it are sad[/quote]
Sure there is.

re: Former Georgia Lt. Governor Duncan will vote for Biden
Posted by Pettifogger on 5/6/24 at 1:57 pm
They strongly dislike each other. Kemp is essentially campaigning against Biden through releases on immigration/etc. on a weekly basis.
He's not going to vote for Biden. And if he were inclined to do so and Raf was going to as well, Kemp would probably switch to Trump out of spite....

Expected it not to have the ring of truth, but I think you're right.
Especially in this era where there are thousands of stories of some pissed off attendant dramatizing or fabricating an interaction and getting the benefit of the doubt even with lots of fellow passengers contesting the airline's...

It's probably Indiana for me
