Most already can't. They think they ballin' (sic cuz you know them finance bros like to flash and talk gangsta) when they pick a $200 bottle at the restaurant that is $40 at the distributor. Or a $75 bottle that's $25 at retail.

I usually just defer to the waiter/sommelier to pair what we order... And I've gotten disappointed when they produce their low priced bottle of house wine that's absolutely outstanding AND completely unavailable for me to buy to take home (damn laws)!

Also, I watch several "grounded" sommelier YouTubers and it cracks me up when they do the blind comparisons (you know, the $25, $250, $1k comps) and the general consensus falls somewhere in the middle to lower end. I'm just looking for pairings. Had a nice Italian Cab Sauv (Umberto Casari Liano $25CAD) last night that I picked purely for the Butterflied Ribeye (heart shaped, get it?) and sides. Wife and I loved the depth. Legal aged daughter with an immature tongue did not... She prefers Zinfandels and Roses.

The Govt of Ontario does that, too. I really wonder how many fall for this crap. I can voluntarily donate my tax return to them. Silly fools! I don't pay my taxes in advance and owe at every filing (benefit of self employment).

Well... What about when they analyze a vintage that is in peak form, break it down to its molecular structure, and then replicate it? Ultimately, it's chemistry. We'll end up with the question of "soul", or "wu" (Chinese/Japanese for "holy/spiritual" and linked to Buddhism), or "wabi sabi" where the imperfection or surprise is welcomed over the mass produced and engineered. It will come down to art but, and I know you know this, the masses don't recognize art until someone tells them on tiktok or whatever venue they subscribe to.

You mean this autistic fuck? The lying (didn't have an OS when he sold to IBM), cheating (in business and relationships), scamming (funds the WHO and vaccine corps profiting of illnesses and cures), diseased (both in the head and other ways, ask Melinda)... Isn't? Nah. He's taking his revenge from being denied a date at prom.

(Yes, that's a real pic from 1985 or so).

Honestly... I know you've been saying this for years... And far as I can tell it's an original. You're the origin. And it's a banger! Just wanted to let you know.

Because everyone uses X on a mobile? I have a keyboard for my tab, too. And what about when you use an extension to automatically share/post a post from another service (like WordPress)? This seems like a rather ignorant/unclear and short sighted post by someone who shouldn't be in charge of the X algo. Oh, wait, I'm posting on NOSTR so... Don't care.

I'll be midcurving my rib eyes to my mouth tonight. My Coldcard just doesn't work as well with dinner and the wife would look at me weird (not the image to go for on Valentines).

The problem is not the answer... It's the question. When talking "gay" you're talking "fruits" and for that we got two (long ago decided by globalists)... Which one do you choose?: 🍆 🍑
