Damn Tex you had a good night. Not too shabby, and dinner was just as good. How was the Leo Poy? Had a 1999 Nicolas Potel Nuits St. Georges Les Vaucrains last night. Really lovely bottle. Really showing well for the vintage. Not roasted or stewed in the least. Probably not built for 20 more years, ...

Able to snag a sixer of these. Apparently no more available in the NorCal region....... 7EC073BC-B017-4D19-A9BD-F57CD253FA7D.jpeg did you hear, our buddy from los gatos was able to grab almost a case of 2015 Thibault Liger Belair Richebourg on clearance for 299.97/bottle. Coming to a Wine Spectator...

And depending on the audience, I would up the gochujang by double.

that sauce sounds like it would be good on anything... was it really viscous once you reduced and strained or still loose?

Fairly viscous

Circling back around... The finished product was very good and we fed a pretty good crowd of adults and children. I will say that the injection did not have any major affect on the flavor of the pork once it came to temp. I pulled the shoulder after it rested about an hour and the flavors just weren...

So I’m curious Tex, how did this turn out?

Pretty good. I’ll post a detailed impression when I get home.

Anything out of ordinary with your chimichurri prep?

TIA

I have been following all the "Fusion" BBQ here in TX in general, and in Austin specifically, and wanted to try my hand at something new for tomorrow night. Plan is to inject a 10lb shoulder with a Korean "BBQ Sauce", rub with simple sea salt and evaporated cane juice, and then rest in the reefer ov...

Can't be 100% all of the time.

As an aside, the strawberries look fantastic.

I cooked a 'Jorge' last weekend on my Ranch Kettle. Four hour heavy salting and then a hard direct sear for 3 minutes each side over post oak and then indirect on the cool side rotating every few minutes to even out cooking. Took it to 125 (about 40 minutes total) and then rested for 10 minutes unde...

In addition to external signs, you might factor in is radioactive isotopes (if I'm recalling the physics correctly). All wines produced from 1945 on have at least minute amounts of radioactivity from Hiroshima and Nagasaki and later tests. That's one of the ways it was possible to confirm that Hard...

Cost Plus World Market also has 50% off the SZ Tritan Forte Red Wine 8 pack that brings it down to $30. If you are a member of their club, you also get 20% off that price.

Wife had a $10 credit, so we got 16 stems for super cheap.

Bill Tex Landreth

Jud, reach out to Denny. He has been several times in the past few years. He and Sheri go for like 10 days at a time and spare no expense.

Bill Tex Landreth

Brisket looks legit there Don.

Bill Tex Landreth

Jean at Alpha Omega would be a great resource.

Bill Tex Landreth

Wow.

That really limits this to a very select few. I had an open order with my local wine guy for the 2008 Salon with the hopes that it would show up in regular distribution channels like DP and Cristal. He obviously had not heard this from his distributor. Guess my order won't even get a nod.

I agree that their SB is the best that I have had full stop.

Showed up in DFW for $21.99 a bottle.

Bought one to try tonight and will report back.

Has anyone ever tasted the HSS and the Odette Reserve Cabernet? Both are now at similar price levels, and the vineyards are separated by what, two miles at most? Would be interested to hear anyone's experiences, thanks... That's actually a great comparison. IMO they have similar styles, more classi...

Bill Tex Landreth

As stated above, the wine is readily available at retail. Texas has seen recently HSS, One Point Five and Red Shoulder Ranch at price points well below release from the winery.

Bill Tex Landreth

Daughter not a fan of onions, otherwise I agree they are good in there.

Very nice

It looks great. If you want a faster version, Ferran Adria uses potato chips (!) instead of thinly sliced potatoes. I haven't tried it myself, but I probably will next weekend.

Bill Tex Landreth

Given the 40+ year track record of Chateau Montelena, how can anyone state that from an objective perspective "nothing extraordinary 'yet' in Calistoga"? It is fine and well to have personal opinions but going based purely on personal opinion is really misleading to the OP. I am pretty sure that co...

That looks pretty nice, Bill. We’ve been eating a lot of these over the last week

I have an over abundance of farm fresh eggs to the tune of 20-25 dozen a week from the ranch. Have to eat them every way possible.
