Never heard it called an onyx banquet table either. Sounds painful.

Pretty sure it wasn’t his wine cave. Anyway, I don’t think anyone here has a problem with wineries or tourists traveling to them, but when phony socialists use them as fundraising venues, the irony is too much to ignore.

A Sodomite cave bound fund raiser? Shades of a Caligulan orgy?
Boot edge edge has now really gone off the farm.

“phony socialists use them as fundraising venues”

Like George Orwell said in Animal Farm,

All animals are equal,
but some animals are more equal than others.

That blew my taste buds out on hot food and Southeast Asia and Western Pacific, I like Indian food too. Be that as may...my taste buds are shot and good wine is wasted on me. So I don’t get all ga-ga and googly over wine at all.

Besides casked wine feels sort of astringent on my tongue (like vinagar)so I usually mix it with store brand diet lemon-lime soda to make it at least palatable. Mixing cheap cabernets with the lemon line soda, reminds me of that Cheerwine soda pop.

Maybe it’s the tannins as Burgundy seems at least palatable, but I prefer it spritz style as well.

If you want to make an interesting vinegar open a bottle of cab leave it open I put it in a dark place like a pantry closet and let it sit there for a couple of months and it makes it very nice wine vinegar that you can use for cooking.

I once heard that if you took all the food that is turned into booze and used it to feed people there would be no hunger.
Is that still true?

Oftentimes at restaurants that serve wine in the $7 - $15 range for a glass most often I’m not impressed. I can buy a bottle of red wine $3.99 for about the same quality and get more product too.

This Catholic Church I was attending to serves communion wine from a chalice. The wine is so awesome and without the bitter tannins taste of so many commercial wines. I would buy it if they sold it. There are monks who produce wines for communion but I don’t know at this parish.

“That’s a creepy title. I don’t think I want to know about this.”

And how the f... do they know what I ‘need to know’, or what you ‘need to know’? And how do they know it’s the same for both of us?

I’m getting sick of those headlines.

“The wine caves also feature an onyx banquet table to reflect the chandelier’s lights and bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon that sell for as much as $900 a pop.”

...about $897 more than I pay for a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Benedictine wine is often used as an element.

I used to see it stored by the case in the storeroom of a parish church I once did some electrical work at.

Subsequently, I went to a home Church where we took communion and they used a really nice tasting wine which turned out to be a Benedictine as well.

Would that $900 wine make enough difference when mostly they are using it to try to get the spooge taste out of their mouth?

Ripple wouldn’t work for that?

It's not just that.

It's that that is his qualification for the office.

The room sounds beautiful. Boot-edge-edge is trying to lure regular folks by doing this?
