re: #751 LudwigVanQuixote

Well there are snobs and then there are snobs who actually know what they are talking about. I don’t claim to know wine beyond what goes well in certain dishes that I cook - and what I tend to like… However, more than once I have gotten a good recommendation from people who know their stuff.

In the scotch world, I call it the Chivas Regal effect… There used to be tons of yuppie scum who felt that the big shiny box and big add campaign made this into the pinnacle of scotch… proof that if you over charge to the gullible and take on airs you will make money…

I just let twits be twits…

Though to be fair to Jim in Virginia, root beer and vodka, would not be my first choice of beverage.

That’s cool! Hi Ludwig!
The funny thing about Napa..In the 70’s when I was just a kid Napa Blew up..I mean seriously blew up..The whole Valley changed…Celbrities, Corporations, Actors, directors, famous chiefs, Julia Childs..I mean everybody that was anybody set up camp in the Valley…It’s cool..But I reserve the right to mock all things and people in Napa…My Home…
Anybody else mocks my town we have an issue…
