    A Man, a Cabinet, and Too Many Bottles

    This has reviews embedded but no selling you anything. I have an offsite, and then several onsite cookers, I moved from my last house where I had built a dedicated cellar. This allows me to designate location (bin, cooler), the inbound gives you simplicity by just taking a pic and it does most...

    They call me a lot of things, but you can call me Tony.

    I had heard rumor of this dancing thing, but have only seen his better half Charlene cut a rug. @Tony Caggiano - is there some deep code behind mentioning “animator” twice, the first in caps? Is this like Three Days of the Condor (great film) where you are a deep placed agent and you use...

    A Man, a Cabinet, and Too Many Bottles

    @logangrantgray Great call out. I use Cellar Tracker for wine and have for years. Optical character recognition (easy to put in new wine), flexible cellar design (you can organize the way you want), good filter a sort options, and affordable, makes it a great app for tracking wine.

    I see a forthcoming summit! FE Outrider Paso pig trip in March. Lots of people passing through your area - including the host and Quartermaster, @Dave Costarella. Consider the possibilities!

    Philosophy of Nice Bottles

    @bgrolmus - that’s a great architecture. My regular guy pour is Michters, or if I can find it cheap Weller Reserve, and then my mid-range to special is Chicken Cock, Hemingway Rye, in that level. If I go higher end, Weller 107 is one of my favorite, and anything up the range from there.

    I am also in Russiafornia. Orange County is home, work is Denver, KC, D.C., and India. I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley, moved and lived lots of places away, and came back here and placed wifey closer to her folks. Where are you?

    Great Recent Wine Choices?

    I have not @spencer - sounds awesome. Should I go? Are you Tampa based? I was lucky - there were four of us and we called ourselves the Consortium - we gathered all myriad of data on weather etc and made some educated bets, sometimes the same, sometimes we struck out alone, bought scale and...

    Great Recent Wine Choices?

    @spencer I’ll drink darn near anything. Pour me a sub $20 Meiomi Pinot and I’m good. Find a Goldeneye Pinot for under $40 and I’m skipping to happyville. Oh, and don’t let the label fool you. I was trading Bordeaux futures back in those days, as a side hobby, so this bottle was a lot less...

    Lawyers, Guns and Money??

    You can never carry too much ammo. You can never shoot too many times. You can never use too much caliber. You can never be bad off with great counsel. So…. Take more ammo. Shoot until it’s down and shoot one more time. Shoot the caliber that makes you smile, not the one people see as...

    What is an Expeditionary Logistics Quartermaster?

    Somehow, I see a Rigby .416 Rogue being re-imagined for deep aquatic use, coming to a theatre near you….

    Gear Q&A

    @cody.rowe15 My $.02 worth: I would go 12 inch on the 8.6 barrel, steel given the twist rate. I would go 16” with a Proof Research for .308, which means a longer hand guard. I would go 20” with a Proof Research for 6.5CM, and keep the same hand guard as the 16”. From personal experience the...

    Holidays are over, wine gifts have been consumed with joy and smiles or cellared with anticipation of more of the same in the years ahead. So, as wifey curated a simple fare for dinner, venison over a baked potato with some spinach and broccoli as sides, I was compelled to hit the darker...
