I will add GR to my list on my friends next trip. Old Mad Joy and Grace and Grit sound really interesting. Thanks for the recs. @Tiger Refuge shared his affinity for OMJ with us awhile back and when I found it in NOLA, I leapt at the opportunity to try. He was not lying. Happy hunting!

ShocksMyBrain 9,362 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Funky Buddha was acquired by Constellation. Same company that owns Ballast Point, Corona, Modelo, etc. Sure would be nice to see some Last Snow pop up on the shelves. One of my favorites from GABF.

Constellation also owns Meiomi wines, their Pinot is hugely popular. They also own High West distillery, which I wasn't aware of; and would explain why we haven't had any trouble getting their stuff in lately.

ShocksMyBrain 9,362 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I just can't get my wine buddy into good beer. He hates big ass stouts and wasn't impressed with Serendipity(mo' fo' me). He seems to mostly enjoy berliners and goses and the like. We had a Yazoo rep drop off a 750ml of their current Embrace the Funk sour brown/flanders, and he looked like he was going to die it was "so sour". It was a pretty bomb sour...as good or better than La Folie. Put a big ass Napa cab in front of him and he'll be all about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work him out on the well-aged nebblolo varietals (e.g. a Barolo), and then introduce a big ass stout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I LOVE it when this thread branches off. You guys know a lot more about wine than I do, but 2 random wine thoughts: 1) Anybody ever had a really smokey, funky pinotage? If you like Islay malt scotches and rauchbier, find one and try it. 2) The Longhorn steak house in Dublin, GA was *awful* last night, but their house cab was shockingly good.

I fly into Reno tomorrow. Hope to score something cool(beer) when I'm in travel status on the way home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where I'm headed with this soooooo... 2) Oregon! Beer everywhere! Prime that liver pump... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the only control is multiple herbicide treatments. It's very, very persistent in forested areas. It's rhizominous, so it'll hang tight and out compete a lot of stuff.

Alabama's probably the cheapest state in the Union, but they're spending huge money to protect their pines. Every eradication method, so far, risks eradicating everything in the area.

As a kid, I found NV the perfect place to shuffle my feet across the carpet and shoot sparks with my fingertips. Skoal! Every chance you get.
