@ba1 it was uberX-priced. No surge. Great question.

The Dave Mathews winery is pretty decent

B2, I don’t think it’s really “appalling” worthy - they know they aren’t that good, it’s more about the experience and getting out of DC

Build a spa instead or a brewery

Did he at least manage to get his equity out?

OP i am doing a wine tour in CVille soon. Did you find anything in particular you liked?

If Dave Mathews’ winery is decent then they’re shipping all the good grapes in! Most wineries have contracts for grape supplies - not sure what it’s called. But it’s definitely a thing at the bespoke wineries in Cali

@sm1 we have only been to one winery in the area, but my understanding is that there are several good choices

OP what do you mean by uberx priced?

Anyone using Edward Jones? Feel like we did a mistake and rolled over all my husbands retirement accounts from different employers and our kids 529 under them Jan 2020. Since then market is down and accounts lost20%. But the fees every month is pretty high around $200. I am worried to move it to fidelity or some other place and manage myself(not very confident), then I have to sell all of the Edward Jones managed funds and buy new. sell low buy low makes sense but don’t want to loose anymore.

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship.

He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
