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.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
