Other than that QOTD: The last thing I think about when it comes to a tie, is the four in my wardrobe I bought for work but don't need. (it's not such a good answer but it's the truth)

which Vayniac scares u the most?

LOL … if u were old school u would know the answer … 🙂

Very nice to see “Central Coast” replace “other California wine”

That's what I'm talking about…40 comments in 20 minutes…

me, too.

when is the heat episode?

probably … 🙂

whatever happened to Ken P?

Your Guess is as Good as mine……. :o)

Thank u so much!

Best thing about a tie is that I don't have to wear one. In fact it would you would kind of stand out if you wore one in Wyoming. 🙂

Did he really say “a good amount of nuts in my mouth”?

“Real beer” is beer made by someone who is trying to make beer as opposed to someone just trying to make money. PBR, Bud, Coors, Miller and all the other commodity brewers don’t give a damn about their beer; they only care about how much product they move (hence the incessant advertising for a remarkably undifferentiated commodity: they want to sell more watered down urine than the next guy). Anything else is real beer: Sierra Nevada (the granddaddy of modern craft brewing), Sam Adams (the biggest craft brewer but still a company that cares about their beer), Brooklyn, Victory, Boulevard, Real Ale, etc. I haven’t had Upslope, but I’ll keep an eye out for them. My daddy always said that life’s too short to drink cheap beer. God bless him.

This is a serial post….thats all

California Love! Good to see CA continues to evolve. A coworker of mine may be the reason why Kendall Jackson is so successful. She drinks it all the damn time. I've been trying to get her to try anything else, but she steadfastly refuses. Sigh…maybe if I told her one of these is distributed by them, she'll try it!

QOTD: A tie…well, I think which of my three siblings is my favorite is a decided 3 way tie!

Hope I can find that Maldonado Chard in MS.

Gary, Maldonado is pronounced “mal-dough-NAH-dough”. Think of the professional baseball player, Candy Maldonado, who played from 1981-1995.

This is from their blog…
Hey PBR-faithful,

With all of the news swirling around about American-ownership and the purchase of Budweiser by InBev, we thought it was a good time to clarify some things about Pabst.

1) Pabst is owned by a charitable trust based in California. The trust is actively involved in the support of medical research and eduction. We are American-owned and we are not owned by Miller.

2) PBR is brewed in 6 different brewing locations around the U.S. in facilities owned by Miller (a few were actually Pabst breweries at one time). But all of our beer is brewed under the supervision of Pabst’s own Brewmaster, Bob Newman (come meet him at the GABF this year), who won the Large Brewmaster of the Year at each of the last two Great American Beer Festivals. He and his staff ensure that all of our beer meets your and our high quality standards. Every can, bottle and keg of PBR is brewed in the U.S. using proprietary formulas which have been in place for over 150 years. In other words, just because we don’t own the buildings doesn’t mean we don’t brew our beer!

If you have other questions about us, don’t hesitate to post them here and we’ll do our best to answer them. In the meantime, do your part in setting the record straight when you hear things that contradict the facts we have communicated here.

First off I hate ties…. But I thought the Cutler/Orton trade was a tie… I loved Orton from his rookie year and even though he got tons of bad press I always thought he was great. Being a Bear's fan I was excited for Cutler to join the team because I thought it would be good for Orton. He was never going to get a real chance for positive press in Chicago. Coming to Chicago I thought was a great chance for Cutler to kind of grow up and mature. Both happened. Suddenly just the change of venue made people start to talk better about him. Cutler had to find out how ANY chicago QB is going to get treated by the press. I think the trade was great for the players, the team, the fans and the league. Overall it was a tie….

I'm glad you brought up Eastern Europe – my roots are also from there, and I just assumed their wine is unknown (by me) because it's still c-r-a-p. But your comment about mustard and olives and an Eastern European flavour has sparked my curiosity. Can you do a show on some of these wines?

Chards – I was trying Chards this winter, looking for an oomphy white wine and I found plenty, but the oomphy ones tend to be your hated oaked wines. And I have to say, much as I wouldn't want to taste oaked white all the time, I find them a very nice change once in a while. And boy, with the Chardonnays you can see more than with other varietals how one grape can produce so many different tasting wines, to the point where they might as well be completely different varietals. I tried the California oakeds, the Canadian unoakeds, and some Chablis. So now maybe I should tie this in with your QOTD, what is a tie? A tie is when you're comparing things that are so different from each other that a judgment one way or the other would be unfair.

i love you too peace

qotd: Me & friends threw a dinner party where we made a foie gras ice cream in a maple honey reduction sauce. We paired it with a Chat. Roumieu Lacoste Cuvee Leon 2006 Sauternes vs. a Tokaji 5 Puttonyos Aszu 2001, and while they were very different, the over all consensus was that it was a draw.
