11685. alistairconnor - 10/15/2004 11:03:45 AM OK, OK, let's do it to the hilt!
Simonnnet is also the sole producer for the bottle fermented Crémant de Bourgogne in Chablis - a skill that dates back the heydays of the Sparkling Chablis.
I entertained but dismissed the idea that there might be some Crémant de Bourgogne produced within the Chablis appellation, (which might be termed, improperly, sparkling Chablis) because I had never heard of such a thing. In fact, there is indeed one winemaker who makes one.
Technically, this confirms my assertion that there is no such thing as a sparkling Chablis. I will give you credit for knowing that there used to be such a thing (I had no idea you were so old!)
... so let's call it a draw.
-- any remaining bottles of sparkling Chablis would be quite undrinkable by now. (probably taste like piss actually) 11686. neato - 10/15/2004 11:38:59 AM Non Non Non! Alistair wins. Heydays does it! 11687. angel-five - 10/15/2004 2:01:56 PM Sure, sure, sure. But can they make a sparkling MD 20/20? 11688. wonkers2 - 10/15/2004 2:19:17 PM $2-buck Chuck with soda water. 11689. angel-five - 10/15/2004 2:44:20 PM Y'know, I have yet to try any two buck Chuck. Someone gave me a bottle for that express purpose (of course, they are a proponent of it) but some foul bastard guzzled it one night before I got to it. 11690. neato - 10/15/2004 3:16:46 PM Can someone tell an ignorant antipodean what a 2 buck chuck is? 11691. angel-five - 10/15/2004 3:49:23 PM Charles Shaw wine, which is sold at Trader Joe's for $2.00, is a wine that is often remarked to be of a much higher order than the price tag implies. All the people I know who claim to like it are cheap bastards, though. 11692. neato - 10/15/2004 3:51:05 PM Ah. Thanks. 11693. Magoseph - 10/15/2004 8:23:59 PM Hi, everyone! 11694. Ms. No - 10/15/2004 8:35:51 PM Hi Mago! How's your Friday?
11695. Magoseph - 10/15/2004 8:44:08 PM It's going nicely, Ms. No. Since it's raining and cold, I'm happily listening to my friends while reading my forums and checking the TV news. How is your weekend shaping out? 11696. concerned - 10/15/2004 8:54:51 PM Re. 11691 -
Wonder how much it costs to actually produce that wine? For American beer, it's apparently less than 1 cent per 12 oz can. 11697. angel-five - 10/15/2004 8:56:42 PM The only thing I've heard about two buck chuck is that they make plenty of money off it.
If it's like other mass market wines the bottle probably costs more than what's in it. 11698. arkymalarky - 10/16/2004 12:03:03 AM I've got to grade papers all weekend. Bob got his done before he left work. He makes me want to puke.
Ulgine's aim post reminded me that there is a white commode on the side of the road on my commute. It's complete with the lid and everything. I don't know if someone thought it was a good place for a rural Arky reststop or what, but it's been there several weeks. 11699. arkymalarky - 10/16/2004 12:03:40 AM It would make a good marker in giving directions.
"Turn left at the white commode...." 11700. wonkers2 - 10/16/2004 4:52:40 AM Actually, it costs $3 now. The chablis isn't too bad, but the red is hardly drinkable. 11701. Magoseph - 10/18/2004 7:32:11 PM Hello, where is our friend Mac today? I'm raking leaves and I’m thinking how nice it would be if I could start a garden, as Ms. No did over the weekend. 11702. Ms. No - 10/18/2004 7:47:10 PM Great weekend, got lots done and I've been thinking of my garden all day. I can't wait for the gardenias to bloom. Mr. C who owns the property next to mine is a good ol' boy from Tennessee and was quite pleased with the southern flavor of my planting. I've no idea if gardenias and hydrangeas are common everywhere, but they remind me so much of my grandmother and the Carolinas that I just had to plant them. It's a bit dry here in California for hydrangeas, but that's what the garden hose is for.
Celebrated my nephew's 4th birthday last night although today is the actual day. He helped with the garden and played with Billie on Saturday which thrilled them both. I came into the living room where they were sitting on the couch together watching The Lion King and he looked up and said "Billie likes me. Look! Her tail wags when I pat her butt!"
The new neph is cute as a button. He's got the most intense focus and he was grinning and giggling last night. He's going to be another giant --- he's only seven weeks old and already wearing his 3-6 month clothes. 11703. Magoseph - 10/18/2004 9:31:49 PM It looks as you gave the happy parents some time off yesterday, Ms. No. 11704. Ms. No - 10/18/2004 9:36:44 PM Mostly it was everyone hanging out and doing home projects and cooking meals and watching baseball, passing the baby around, wrestling with dogs, playing board games. Quite a satisfying trip.
