Awesome! I know mk and ecib are in. My Pinot Noir journey just began with a dinner I made for my wife, kale, portobello mushrooms, Couscous, grape tomatoes and tofu paired with Sean Minor:

Woohoo! Good start.

Dude you are going all out. I'm having mine with chicken soup like a heathen.

This is what I'm on:

I think it's been breathing for like, 25-ish minutes. I think 30 is the rule of thumb . . .

_refugee_  ·  3969 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Oh damn is it? I only let my wine breathe for like 15. I am now sipping. Doesn't seem to hurt it though. You have nicer wine glasses. Are you able to get on IRC? Having trouble.

I can't get on IRC. I dunno, it seems to be something I've heard, but I might just be pulling stuff out of my ass.

puts on "well-i-heard-it-on-the-internet" voice

Well the internet tells me it doesn't matter. So there!

No but really, the internet tells me lots of things and then bartenders at wine bars tell me other things, so I'm not sure who to believe here.

Also, yeah. No one can get on IRC. :(

I have had a recent love affair with kale. Kale is a big commitment because you have to boil the attitude out of it before sauteƩing it -- Your whole menu above sounds certain to bring on labour.

I keep the attitude and don't boil it. It's still quite good. I also enjoy kale in my juice. I use kale, apples, whole lemon, beets, romaine, celery, and a little ginger and grapes. So good.

Get some Pinot Noir. You have a little over an hour. No excuses!
