    Acoustic guitar recommendations?

    I own Taylor, Gibson, Martin, and Blueridge. I love them all, especially the Taylor. But the "names" are quite pricy. For $800-$1000, you can find a spanking nice Blueridge. Like others say, though, I would generally recommend handling

    Weingut Keller Rieslings?

    Agree with Keith that the vdf is no sub for GGs. Also agree that the GGs can be more impressive than enjoyable. To answer your question: I thought the 2012 Hipping Kabinett- H was sensational a little while back.

    There are many ways to drink wine

    Did that harmonica play incessantly in your ear after you finished the bottle all by your lonesome?

    Eminent

    This looks worthy of a ride... if I can find some. I surly will remember to search as the Pete Townsend/Who song is already bouncing around in my brain. It's a put on...

    “Always chew your wine like a food, smell it like you would a lover, & taste it when it’s gone.”

    “Always chew your wine like a food, smell it like you would a lover, & taste it when it’s gone.” I tried this the other day. The problem is that I reversed the order. I got tongue twisted so bad that I almost choked to death. Note to self: follow the proper sequence when attempting this.

    Time for a new hobby

    Keith, I am thinking of how many 60 to 80 year old bottles of perfect Bordeaux and Burgundy I could buy for $42780. Or maybe five years worth of best in the world Riesling.

    Lafouge

    This has been countered, at least aromatically, by the new scratch and sniff labels.

    Come Clean

    I thought he was a little generous as well. The Conseillante, at best, is a 'tweener to me as I thought it was one of those spoofy wines that I could at least drink if I had to. Still had a hard time with it though. Dumped almost all of my bottles.

    Lafouge

    Boy do I love them. Fresh and yummy. I have loved the 2009 and 2010 Pommard Chanlins, and the Auxey duresses les duresses and la chapelle

    Dinner in Beijing and Shanghai

    I had amazing food at both restaurants at the Fairmont Hotel in Beijing. Wonderfun Chinese food in the basement, and The Cut steakhouse was awesome. If your travels take you through HK there are tons of one, two and three star restaurants. I thought Amber was incredible with its two stars...

    My first Young Egon Muller...(and my first post)

    Great question, I didn't think of it that way. I never bought young as they are 3x more than I pay for other stellar Kabs. From time to time I picked up older bottles from small offerings.
