Finally tried the Trimbach regular Gewurz. Slightly disappointing and can’t hold a candle to the regular Zind-Humbrecht (it’s the bomb outside GC or cuvée) and not even close to their Cuvée Des Seigneurs de Ribeaupierre. Having said that, appreciate the classic dry Alsatian style of rose petals and lychee without the residual sugar. Couldn’t find a tech spec but I would guess 3-5/g per liter

Desi folks - question on travelling outside US while you're on L1B visa. I have my valid visa stamp till 2022. Do any of you know if we can travel to India in Dec and come back in Jan? Or is it affected by the Trump executive order that was passed in Jun that said non-immigrant workers can't enter the country till Dec 31? Just wondering if I leave for holidays, will I not be allowed back. Any sort of clarification you might have is helpful. FYI - I was in US before that June ruling came out. Thx

Anyone else waiting on BEC results?

Paralegals: My firm is looking for a paralegal, and I see the job posting advertising the salary as $65-$75k, with benefits. Is this a good salary for a paralegal (Greater LA area)? I’m not the decision maker, but it’s been a few weeks with very few applicants. I’m curious if there’s something hurting the firm in its search.

I just had a colleague ask me my opinion on a few cars since she’s buying her daughter’s first car. Went through a few brands trying to get a sense of where her mind was, and as soon as I mentioned VW she said “oh, they’re owned by Mercedes and we had bad experiences with Mercedes years ago.”

What comically incorrect car things have your coworkers said to you about cars?

How long do you let your wine decant before drinking/serving?

Love Spanish/Balearic wine, my go to is currently Sa Vall Selecció Privada from a Vineyard in Mallorca.

What other Spanish wines do you recommend?

Laila Blueprint Cabernet 😍 I swear this is the best wine I've had in years.

I am looking for wine decanter tags that are writable. I’d like to find a vintage looking silver option, but they all require engraving. I’m looking for something writable that I can change the label on when I host wine parties and I have a couple decanters on the table. Anyone have something similar and can share a link with me? I’m struggling to find anything that will work, other than writing on clear tape with a sharpie marker 😐

NYC wine club meetup?

I keep getting sour wines. I’ve never had this issue before but the last few bottles I got (store shelf, nothing too fancy) tasted like they were opened and left out. That gross stale sort of sour taste… but the cork was in tight and sealed. 🧐

Let’s talk decanters. Does anyone have a specific shape they recommend over others?
