But not the clear one or the one with the natural nipple. Everyone know that this one preserves the subtle flavors better. Well, everyone who knows as much about ripple as me!

Sweet. Thanks!

I hope the bottle hasn't turned though.

I guess if it has, I can always mix it with some strong coffee and call it Cripple.

The wines picked are the traditional cigar paired wines. Most are highly acidic to clean the mouth and/or have a non-competing flavor profile.

I would not get too fussy on pairing a certain wine to a certain cigar. Use your initial gut instinct and smoke what you like and drink what you got!

really? champagne? i would have thought the bubblelies would be kinda weird.. but i guess some pop works with cigars so why not?

Sure, Champagne is excellent with cigars. That being said, buy Cremant, Blanc de Blanc from France or Cava from Spain. All three are much less expensive than Champagne of similar quality and you'll enjoy them.

I couldn't get your link to load, but if it is the Riedel Somm. BDX glass, you are fine for all red wine. Pinot Noir/Burgundy glasses are rounder bowls, but the BDX glass works.

Port glass looks like:

Do you have a decanter and cheesecloth?

Yes it's the Riedel Sommeliers glasses and no I do not have either a decanter or cheesecloth.

Many of the joke in Sideways probably escaped 90% of the movie goers.

Duckhorn, by far, Merlot was and is their claim to fame, although they branched out lately into, you guessed it, Pinot Noir (Mendocino). Merlot can be great when done right, like anything else. Cab Franc, same as for Merlot, needs decent heat to ripen properly, both sometimes taste green and vegetal when underripe. I am guessing you're drinking Loire Cab Francs? Some are excellent.

Not really a guess since I know you're not a fan of CA wines and only Loire outside of CA makes great single varietal Cab Franc. There are small batch and affordable Cab Francs produced in Napa, but I am not sure they reach Right Coast.

Read that Marty's moved to a new location, they used to have great selection of wine.

Bad behavior starts at the top and trickles down... Blind leading the blind model never seems to fail... Same as in Sideways...

I picked up an almost vertical of Diamond Creek wines from the early 80's to mid 90's for a steal a couple of months ago; not from Marty's.

Sauternes, Ice Wine, Asti, Muscato, and Madeira to start. Depends what kind of cake. How rich, which flavor...

If the behavior modeled is poor, then leading by example is detrimental. If one reads many of your posts it becomes very clear very soon that you fit that mold. You seem very comfortable ridiculing and using a condemning language. I do not know you from Adam, but I wonder what inadequacy you are living with to cause you to project as you do.
