Auxerrois is a wonderful grape.

@Chap your Laguiole put a smile on my face.

Here’s mine, Laura’s, and her dad’s:

@goosehd Beautiful Collection!

[endo]

This one is also very nice, especially when you’re sitting somewhere in the sun.

[goosehd]

@endo even bad wine is good sitting in the sun and even more so with good company. Cheers

[goosehd]

…also bad wine always tastes better when it’s the second bottle. Not going to speak about the 3rd…

[endo]

Wise words, my friend.

@endo I think we will use our trip to Südtirol in July to fill up on some wine

on the controversial topic of white asparagus - please pair with Roero Arneis grape, like from Vietti for example...

[endo]

I don't know what's supposed to be controversial about it, but I'll try it.

[goosehd]

@endo …back to white versus green asparagus from the TVAT tour…

Something we as mods fully get behind compared to other controversies that pop up on occasion.

Edit: forgot the bit about my region’s white asparagus is superior to your region’s white asparagus.

@goosehd You don't know what you're talking about, man. Come visit us during Spargelzeit and then you can join the conversation.

[goosehd]

@endo those kinds of words start many fights that can only be settled with drinks and laughter whilst eating good food. I may take you up on that to settle this debate…️

[endo]

@goosehd and we'll skip the asparagus and get straight to the wine, okay?

I thought @Anesthetist started a thread on interesting bottle openers, I couldn't find it.

Tibaldi is another good choice…

Speaking if (recent) favourite wine bottles we had - went to Greece on vacation around 2014, visited a little wine shop in Athens, had boxes shipped to Berlin, forgot about it and let the bottles rot in the cellar.

Amazing entertainment in the company of friends (and food) in Scotland…
