I have a completely unsophisticated palate.

I have just the thing for you.....

To me, surf and turf means Tuna and Chicken cream 'o mushroom casserole.

It is a chilly 60 degrees in scottsdale. Ty may have to break out the comforter..the cardboard box isnt' well insulated.

Let's talk again in July

If things break the way Ty wants them to...ty will be in Yountville.

Which winery?

None.

French Laundry.

I was out there last fall; I would never pay the prices at French Laundry. No offense. I have no problem paying a lot for a good meal/experience, but that is ridiculous. We ate at Bistro Jeanty…it was fine. Also ate at The Girl & The Fig in Sonoma....not as good.

You guys are making me nostalgic. I miss biking across the coastal range -up Old La Honda road, along skyline road then down into Pescadero, the eucalyptus trees... 60F on a bright crisp January afternoon. Good times.

OK, because everyone is bitching about all the politics, I will keep with the California (now bankrupt because of so many entitlements…sorry) theme. Rand, you are now getting closer to my favorite part of the state; the Carmel/Monterey Bay area. I went to the 2000 US Open at Pebble when Tiger won by about 14 strokes; one of the best weeks of my life.

Go a little further south to the best part, Big Sur. Ty, that is one place I spent too much on a hotel but was happy to do it…so I am not always a thrifty Minnesotan. Stay at Post Ranch Inn if you ever have the opportunity.

A little further south is the Sideways (the movie) Wine Country. I enjoy this area more than the Napa area. Very low-key. The Napa area gave me the same kind of headache I get when I am forced to go to the mall. There is too much going on. Too much traffic. Too many assholes. I found it to be a lot of work….it was exhausting. Again Ty, no offense.

You make large assumptions about where i've been. I've been to every California Super AVA. Was just in Temecula visting their wineries.

Again, the reason to be in Napa/yountville is the French Laundry. When any of those places have a 3 star Michelin i will be there for a couple of months.

Big Sur:

Just don't go back to Big Sur,
Hangin' around, lettin' your old man down
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Baby baby please don't go
Oh baby baby please don't go

Licked asser.

I don't think this winter is so terrible. hell, it's almost february, the days are already getting longer.

we had a lot of snow at first, then one short, intense cold snap. but overall, this winter seems not nearly as crushing as last year.


wait - maybe it's the anti-depressants.

All this......from talking about the weather.

Of all people, you should be happy about the topic switch

The Obama Administration is expected to announce next week that CO2 emissions are slowing the increase in days getting longer. This affects the middle class in an especially dire way. They are putting Biden on it.
