The Official Wine Thread

[Omega Male]

Damn, it's been a minute since our last Paso visit, but WTF? Not only are they charging for tastings, it ain't cheap, and some want payment at booking? I said it over a decade ago, it was only a matter of time until they Napa'ed Paso.



Does this mean everywhere is going to be full of douchebags? (Myself already account for, of course.)

Have you booked Somm's Kitchen yet? Ian will make you holler.

 

[Piobaire]

Does he do lunch? If so, we'll hit it up. We're going with friends and are only solo the last night. My hope is to get Six Test for dat Michelin star dining.

One night's dinner shall be wasted on ******* fried chicken. I keep reminding myself they're good people and I stand to inherit 100k or so in whisky from him.

 

[Omega Male]

Yeah he does some great wine lunches, just keep an eye out for your dates and get on them early because they sell out.

Somm's Kitchen - Paso Robles, CA

Ian Adamo has traveled the world learning about and working with wine while simultaneously working in the front and back of the house at several Michelin star and James Beard awarded restaurants. Join him at the 14 seat counter where you can enjoy Michelin style food with well thought out wines.

Mrs. Piob and I are talking about maybe flying over again in February solo. Nothing beats sitting in front of that big fireplace in the courtyard at Cheval when it's 30F and you have wine.

Group got together possibly the last time as a group as one is moving. Also, go ravens as we live in Boston now. The Napa pictures aren’t a group because we got lazy and drunk

Last one in our friend group got married this weekend. First time since Covid everyone has been together, so a good chance to open the mag of Cristal I got with my trumpbux. Had it stashed behind the rest of the bar for the IC

I’ve got the wrong friends.

Me too, very few even came to my wedding! To be fair it was across the country and most of us were young and poor at the time.

Mozel tov! Impressive you've never had a GSM before. I plan to create my own blend, MSG, fit for Chinese food.

I’ve had many 60’s and 70’s Barolo and this was one of the freshest and brightest bottles I’ve had yet

here’s the color of the wine from a video I shot while it was being decanted
