400 calories for a tortilla seems high.

Have you seen the size of the tortillas they use, Ian? They are 13" in diameter. In fact checking this post, I ran across this tool that claims 290 calories for those tortillas, so let's adjust my numbers a bit.

Jim, I hesitate to comment as I'm surely in a small minority but I just can't visualize California Syrahs gaining any real viability.

I love the domestic Zins, Durifs, old Cabs, and a few dry-farmed Merlots and Pinot Noirs, but the domestic Syrahs just have not thus far rung my chimes.

P.S. I quickly submit that I haven't had the pleasure of sampling yours!!

Oh right, Chipotle. I was thinking generic tortilla. D'oh!

Which reminds me, I want to start experimenting with Indian flat breads at home. I wonder if you can make sourdough chickpea flour starter. Hmm.

David,
Folks around here make up alternate personalities all the time.
I just want to play, too.
Best, Jim
The majority of the people who post here were thrown out of the "Basement" by Robin Garr many years ago. What you may think of as "alternate" is actually their true selves. Disorder without fear of contradiction can lay claim to having the lowest median IQ of any group of posters on the internet. They were banished to the Basement and from that low station they sank to an even lower position in the food chain.. Chris Coad related this truth to me.
Anyway Jim, looking forward to seeing you and your charming wife in a month or so. Try to keep better company.
 
Where to begin-many old memories in this thread.

1) Jim I hope you look as young as you did in STL those many
yrs ago-was it 10 or so with the Col-BTW what has happened to the
the Col and his pickup?

2) Lou bringing back the old WLDG days-how nice it is to see
doghead posting again. Not part of the NYC crowd I have no idea
how sice he was but it is great to see Robert interested in posting
about wine again.

3) Ian-have you tried the chickpea pancake that Nice does-called
Socca I believe-we bot a socca pan at a brocante mkt in St Remy
but haven't been able to replicate it in the WFO yet.

4) Yes Happy Birthday Jim-love how you have followed your dream in
wine and glad I have been able to follow it via the wine blogs over
the yrs.

thus the one barrel in 2011. BTW with the Monkey in charge of distribution we'll never see any.

Mark,
He retired, bought a mini-van and now is a traveling consultant for the Army.
However, his primary occupation is being one hell of a grandfather to two very beautiful kids.
Best, Jim

Pete, have you tried any of Steve Edmunds' Syrahs? You've been hanging around here enough to know that his Syrahs appeal to the great many Disorderly palates that frequent this place.

Happy Birthday, Jim! Any guy who wears purple Converse is ok in my book (and my daughter's, too).

Larry, I believe I may have quite a few years ago but none recently. I don't think there is a distributor for them here in Houston.

Given the high regard expressed here, I'm sure I would like them.
