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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
