Big difference in ABV though. Wines are 13-17%. No beer’s hitting that either haha. A bottle of wine definitely has more alcohol than a six pack of beer

 

And you can’t really “pair” beer and liquor to food the same way you can with wine. All I’m saying is it’s really not comparable to other things that you are mostly slamming because you want to be drunk, there’s a whole other experience you’re paying for as well, and I do consider that to be worth more money than beer or low-to-mid shelf liquor, even though I’m broker than most of you and can’t afford to do it but once in awhile

 

it looked like the actual take out boxes too

 

I use Nadia’s standing desk now. I’m always sitting at it.

 

I’m sure everything Randall is saying is true, but it’s just so lost on me.

“it’s not just a drink, it’s an experience” just sounds like something a snooty person says to not feel silly buying a $200 bottle of wine lol

To each their own though

 

One last point, wine is meant to be shared. $200 wine is really like, 5 people drinking one $40 glass, which probably still sounds outrageous to someone who doesn’t generally do that - but when people are celebrating and they come to a high end restaurant they usually don’t give a fuck about $40 haha. Let alone the fact that often that celebration dinner is hosted by like, one of the richest people in their whole social circle lol and usually they pick up the tab

 

I respect your different opinions, just more so sharing what I’ve learned from having a career-related excuse to indulge something I’d never get to experience otherwise. I used to think like yall until I tried more fancy wine lol.

for the “experience” bit, put it like this - I love weed because it augments / boosts food and music, both in terms of how much detail you notice and how it magnifies your sensory response to it. It’ll take an average meal or an album I’ve heard 1000 times and make it feel like the first time I’ve ever tried it, or, make me hear/taste it in an entirely different way. Wine is exactly like that with food, except not because you’re “high”, because of the chemical reactions happening inside your mouth instead

 

I don’t even care about good craft beer anymore. I have the few I buy and then also buy ic light. I enjoy wine but I’m never going to spend more than $30 on a bottle.

 

I’ll even meet yall halfway and say expensive wine is not as worth it if you’re not pairing it with anything. But the experience of pairing good wine with good food RULES cause you taste everything in fuckin layers and waves of different flavor profiles rather than just one flat taste

 

I'll disagree, both because there's entire cuisines based around being simmered/braised/etc in beer...and there's plenty of complimentary cocktails to tons of food (was just at a Tapas place that paired every dish to a suggested cocktail). But, for the low-to-mid end places, yeah, wine is WAY easier to match up

 

I won’t buy shit liquor because hangovers suck, but Bacardi is fine by me lol

 

I spent like a decade making my own beer, buying the craziest expensive stuff, etc...and nowadays aside from a crazy good barleywine or gueuze, cant really say I ever want more than like a Spotted Cow or 5%-ish IPA

 

Anxiety attack Friday night. Yay

 

My brother and his ex-gf were big on the foodie side of things; so when we'd do family vacations, they'd always pick a place for one night and we'd just drop $$$ on a meal. Like one of them was a Scott Conant (Chopped judge) restaurant. And the food was CRAZY good. Squid ink pastas, live mousse, etc; Absolutely the "experience" side of things. But, its also not something you're supposed to do daily or even weekly as a normal person.

 

Oh with food I totally get it. Like that part tracks with me. Just not wine lol

 

Yeah, I dont even like wine, so I'd be such an easy mark for those mid-tier places to upsell my table on a fancy bottle. But having been deep down the beer and cocktail rabbit holes, there's absolutely a time where a $30 glass makes sense. Just sometimes you have 3 mid glasses before you find the one worth it

 

It sounds like his favorite word to misuse

 

Okay what the fuck is live mousse? Moose? Mouse? None of these things sound feasible

 

Agreed

 

I've never bought shit liquor in my life. I've bought shit beer but the quality drop in liquor is just too severe for me to be getting $10 handles of floor cleaner instead of $25 for Tanqueray or whatever

 

I’m at like some hipster bar and they are playing charli xcx this is real

 

Meant to be chicken liver mousse. This is like Schmidt on New Girl not knowing what the girl is saying when she says "Mick Mouse". What other shit do you hear on Chopped or Hells Kitchen?

 

I'm ngl i think I'd rather take my chances with the live moose

 

The bar closes at 12 and they are playing pink pony club to end the night

I LOVE THIS PLACE

 

Good morning to those dumb enough to go ice fishing this early
