    Just watched an ESPN:60 on Bledsoe losing his starting job due to injury to Brady.

    Pretty funny stuff. Jeremy Schaap and Bledsoe getting sauced on vino and talking shit about Bellichek. Damon Huard makes some appearances as he was the third QB on the Patriots that season.

    Bledsoe takes this wine shit seriously. He runs some serious smack on California wines. Schaap asks to compare various coaches and players to wines. Dude is quick witted.

    And that Doubleback is goddamned delicious. Knocked back copious amounts of it and Leonetti at a charity event a few years back. Cuog knows how to turn good grape.

    Cali wine can get old fast as a lot of the stuff that distributes widely has a pretty similar profile, but its hard to knock it when you put boots on the ground and find all the smaller producers doing more interesting things than cab and chard. Cali wine is stupid overpriced though.

    I dumped Leonetti. Too pretentious and middling for the $. Go Long Shadows for special occasions. Tickles the palate without puncturing the wallet. For everyday fare, Mix Master Brian Carter delivers supple elixirs. Smooth finishes. Merlots that drink like Cabs and vise versa.

    Like I said, I was at a charity thing - got way too drunk on Doubleback and Leonetti and spent way too much money on auction items.

    I like Boone's Farm best.

    Or maybe the Throbber is poor and sophisticated. Maybe rich and sophisticated. Might be poor and unsophisticated.

    You just never know.

    If you ever see any you should try Petaluma Gap pinots. Its a new appellation, like 2019 and they are my favorites. Fogline in particular is incredible:

    I’m OR Pinot Noir or GTFO. We’ve gotten to know some of the owners and wine makers a bit.

    I like variety and containers that don't break when you are stinking drunk.

    So two quick (not quick cause I’ve been drinking too much) stories.

    Went to Vancouver. We weren’t drinking age in Redmond but were there. Right before the boarder my buddy gets spooked because I have yay and oxcy and I don’t remember. Snort some quick lines and eat the oxcy and cross the boarder. We apparently pick a Canadian holiday and can’t find a hotel so we park in an underground parking lot of some nice ass hotel. We get shitfaced and observe all Canadian women have ass for days. At this point we decide to find the street of whores and drugs. I find a guy to sell me some meth and shortly after that I brown out. Brown is not passing out but shit happens, a lot of shit, and life continues and you don’t remember shit. Apparently I ran across the street after scoring and my buddy can’t keep up.

    I come back to reality and I’m in the precinct and the cop asks me to empty my pockets. I place a bag of meth on the table and realize I’m fucked. Cop asks what that is and I said I asked for some smoke thinking I was getting some weed and that’s what I get.

    Cop takes that shit and puts it in his fucking pocket.

    I get thrown in the drunk tank and next morning they release me. I have no fucking clue where I am and start walking towards what I believe to be where I came from. Catch a taxi and drive to down town and after 3-4 blocks we find the fucking hotel. I walk down and sure as shit there’s my buddy fucking passed out in his car.

    We drive across the boarder and they stop us and take the bottle of bones that was for my mom.

    I haven’t been to Canada since. Love that Canadian ass though. In a better state of mind I’d be sharing pictures but I was def a drug addict then.

    Story, kinda a story, two.

    My mom use to love her some Carlos rossi. Before I got back on my hustle, debts needed to be paid and actions forgiven, I had no money so id steal my parents get you fucked up meds and then fill my water with 3/4 Rossi and 1/4 juice and while we hung out in front of the house before we go to parties or drug houses, I would finish the Rossi.

    This went on for awhile but never took more then a water bottle full as to not bring attention to me consuming moms feel good juice. She just thought she consumed more each night then she did.

    CSB, I know.
