The 25 year wine was from Napa and Tepper was given crap about it not being from around here but it tasted REALLY GOOD and it shut people up lol.

Most NC wine is terrible. Childress gets away with some decent pinot grigio but generally speaking the climate and clay soil isn't good for making the traditional varietals.

$75???

That wine better taste God-Tier.

You do realize that $75 is not remotely near the top end of pricing for wine right? Before I got out of the service industry I poured 2k bottles of wine, and in my last gig was routinely pouring 200 dollar bottles of cabernet savignon to higher end regulars. Just fyi.

$75 for a "Red Blend?" There's no indication what percentage of which varietals, or which grapes even came from Napa. I'd take a hard pass.

Conversely, $45 for a Napa Chard is a damn good deal. Chalky means the grapes were grown in limestone rich soil, which is a Napa staple. So it will be drier and less buttery, but still a quality bottle. That'd be my choice.

And you couldn't pay me to drink a California sparkling.

Before prohibition NC produced more wine than any other state in the nation. Sweet dessert wines were more popular then, I guess. I've never had a scuppernong I could stomach.

Well to be fair a bottle that costs $200 at a restaurant is usually only like 50-75 retail.

    • The problem with all those scenarios is typically that you don't find out the player is a problem child until too late. The team trading him to you has zero reason to be honest about that. Even his teammates are likely to be fairly tight lipped unless it is off the record or it has now become widely known how bad the player's attitude/issues are. Think about Brown specifically. He wasn't widely/publicly known as a nutbag until late in his career, although ample evidence existed prior to that point.  It makes sense. Like a teammate or not, it's not wise to be out there blabbering about locker room issues in front of the public. Not a way to endear yourself to current or future teammates.
    • I don’t remember what I said this year. I had us winning 6 last year. I was optimistic a little.  I probably said 6 or 7. Wasn’t feeling optimistic so much this year. 
    • I mean if you look at Bryce’s stats before last week, he was ranked damn near the bottom of the league in every category so you can’t fault people for thinking anything positive is bogus. I’ve heard several analyst say they don’t know how to rank the panthers because we are a confusing team. One week we look like complete dog poo the next we win 30-0. Sure we beat a horrible jets team, but what was it, 13-6 or something like that? Beat the pack, but how good are they? They lost to us and the Browns and tied with Dallas, are they frauds? Would we have beat the bills with Bryce, I doubt it. Barely beat a 3-5 falcons team in OT and those seem to be Bryce’s best games. To me, the jury is still out and I’m optimistic, we beat SF and Bryce plays will il start to really believe.
