Participantmaurice is still cheap, at the local costco it might set you back $5. To be honest I haven’t been in there since you were in college. If that’s your last exposure, you gotta come give it a try. It’s an entirely different world now.
I love this property and facility, you can get a massage, a fantastic meal and stay the night. It probably hurt for the sacramento bee to write this, but a Temecula Winery won winery of the year for the state at North America’s oldest wine competition, two years running.

here’s their website
and some pics just to show you what I’m talking about in case you are confused why a cosmopolitan gent like myself stomps on these grounds, scroll through, it should get you in the car.

I like going there, love the food, but there is better wine in the valley IMHO and it can get a little touristy and seeing kenny g perform in the vines isn’t my cup of tea, but if your vision of my viticultural region is $3 maurice carrie, you gotta get in the car and come check it out, while you weren’t looking, it grew up.

ParticipantJosh, did you get the Ghost pines merlot or the cab? Even as a cab guy myself, the merlot was the one to go with, and like a lot of wines, that was a one vintage tip, it’s been a year since we collectively raved, all bets are off once the year turns. But your love of bordeaux’s tells me we have a totally different pallate, mine is more regional, french wines often taste a bit tinny and light to me, so I save my money. I’ve tried, gone as far as a mouton, D’issan margaux, and many others that set me back a pretty penny but weren’t in my wheelhouse. I still like the cali stuff, a nice Dunn or Joe Phelps and I’m happy at fraction of the price so it works for me.
I did read that the austrailians were having such a wine glut that they were selling it for almost the cost of the bottle and cork, importers were paying $1.80 a bottle. Based on your post, maybe it’s time to expand my horizons and take a few risks while it’s on the cheap.
I know it won’t be in your wheelhouse but for some readers, here’s my latest tip on the local scene. Little winery up here recently opened, Robert Renzoni vineyards in temecula. As many of you are aware, I am a regular up here, hitting the tasting rooms a couple times a month going back 20 years when tasting was free. There’s a lot of buzz amongst the locals regarding this place. After drinking his wine at a pairing dinner and at a local eatery, The g-friend and I decided to check it out the other day.
They are tasting out of the barrel room as the tasting room has yet to be constructed, the polish isn’t on as far as the facilities go but homeboy makes a mean red, right out of the gate they got it going on, so it’s only gonna get better. They picked a terrible time to start a business, but hopefully talent keeps them afloat. It doesn’t compare to the resort style tasting rooms on Rancho cal, but it’s also not flush with bachelorette parties, desperate housewives of the O.C., and the weekend rookie drinkers. He didn’t have a red I wouldn’t buy, or should I say didn’t buy, I also left with a couple of jars of his mothers marinara sauce. Everyone talks about buying american, well, this is as domestic as it gets, so get you but up here, stimulate the economy and start drinking. That’s my tip of the day.

Participant[quote=briansd1] Kids will grow up thinking it’s OK to be chubby. [/quote]
Maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad place if kids thought they were O.K., obviously the fine example of women’s fashion magazine models have done wonders for the mental health and self image of young girls.
Who cares if she likes second helpings, who cares if Obama likes an occasional marlboro. Vices make us human and a hell of a lot more interesting. I guess I have to quote a more mainstream poet, Billy Joel, “I’d Rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.”
Naw, Allan and Flu like mixalot more, so for the guys I’d prefer to drink with “So cosmo says you’re fat, well I ain’t down with that, so your girlfriend rolls a honda, playing workout tapes by Fonda, well Fonda aint got a motor in the back of her honda”

ParticipantNone of the above. On another thread regarding the surgeon general, you talked about being an example, well, be one. Having the ability to avoid the temptation of apple pie is worthless when you cannot resist the temptation of taking something that you didn’t earn.
What is it, I have come to understand karma, I have come to the point in my journey that I realize how important it is to love yourself, be the guy you look up to and understand that riches will never bring you respect. I have a dedicated windex bottle and roll of paper towels near my bathroom mirror, just to clean my mirror after kissing myself in it, cause I loves me some me and I kiss myself often. In the real world, I’m a hero, every guy wants to be me, I wasn’t born this way, I was given good advice and it is my obligation to relay that advice to others, nothing I say is original, it is all recycled. Giving people advice to be the same way as those you have no respect for will give them the same results.
brian, it’s in you brother, I see the internal conflicts in some of your posts. You despise greed and fear, but it takes over sometimes. Watch out for envy as well. Just wake up tomorrow and be the best person you can be, give more than you take, and at the end of the day, if you don’t like it, if karma doesn’t reward you, go back to being part of the problem, I’ll still accept you, because I’ll know you still have it in you, you just haven’t figured it out yet.
