I'll talk about my wine experience tonight to take up space.

I've never been much of a wine guy, so I thought, "hey, it's fathers' day. I should get a shit load of wine!" By the way my dad and I had gotten some tall boys before this during a 50 mile bike ride. We went to a French place, and I first got a red. It wasn't bad, but red wine always seems like it has some chalky texture or something to it. Then I tried a chardonnay. Holy shit. This grape juice is amazing for whiskey people. So after several glasses following a 4 hour bike ride, I was a little drunky. If you're ever dehydrated and feel crazy, skip the water and head to the wine first.

That's my filibuster for the page 180 cause.

Happy fathers' day to any fathers on here!

lol this was an underappreciated post.

now i kinda want to go for a run and then drink some wine.

Me too! Minus the run.

This was indeed an underappreciated post. Sounds like a POPPIN father's day.

I am a fucking massive wine advocate. Just got into Vinho Verde style white wine (Portuguese). Getting very hip right now, just copped some on sale at Whole Paycheck. Cheap, has a few bubbles, but not full on champagne. A little bit sweet but not overwhelming.

Also, sauv blanc of course. Dry and crisp, not sweet. Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc is a perfect mainstay.

For red, you need to splurge a bit more than on white if you want a delightful experience. IMO, of course. If you feel like treating yourself go to your local wine store and ask them to pick out a nice Cabernet Sauvignon for you. Pair with a RIB EYE or some dark chocolate and berries.

TEAM WINE!!!!!!!!

Wow great input. I only do wine if I'm at nice restaurant, but it's slowly catching on. I just can't do a lot of sweetness.

I'm glad everyone enjoyed my slightly buzzed post from last night haha.

I'm right there with you. I'll take a dry red over anything sweet

Ty for this. I wanna step up my wine game bc I know fuck all. My auntie and uncle took me to Napa a couple months ago and it was heaven. But I haven't had a whole bunch of wine since then. Maybe cuz it seems like quality wining on the reg costs some considerable dinero idk

Yeah there are plenty of good affordable/cheap white wines, it's not even worth big spending on expensive ones. I wouldn't spend more than $15 on white wine, ever. Oyster Bay Sauv Blanc is $11ish if you find a good shop. Vinho Verde starts at $6 or $7.

It can't be a more expensive habit than fine whiskey drinking!

I dunno, my regular scotch bottles run me somewhere between $40 and $60, but I also get like 20+ drinks out of that. I definitely spend less on alcohol than some of my friends who drink ~$10-15/bottle wine, on a night for night basis.

Mmm yeah I guess it depends on your level of intake

Just poured the last of the makers mark and found a quart of craft lager that I forgot about in the fridge. I guess I'm going back to back fun nights.

Worst case scenario is that it isn't and we have to wait a day or 3 more. There really isn't much downside to banking on Monday

[Mikey]

Wasn't there a prediction somewhere that we COULD get our scores even on the 24th?

You drastically underestimate the pain of thinking you'll be getting your score on a certain day, and then it not happening.

Listen to Bearly, guys. It's seriously one of the worst things ever. I drank way too much to cope with this letdown.

Just got an email from LSAC saying a hold was placed on my account; apparently I didn't fill out the certifying statement verbatim, so I just have to copy it down again and send it in via post... Severe moment of panic when I got the email though! Doesn't sound like I should have any delay since I'm sending it out today.

Thinking back, I think I just forgot to sign it. I remember making sure sure everything was right with the statement!

My first post as a non-lurker... of course it took something extreme for me to speak up. I too received a similar message today, and I'm so confused by it. I can say with near certainty that I copied the statement verbatim and signed it on test day. I assumed maybe I had missed a filler word or punctuation or something, but when I asked via email today they said "the test center has reported that you provided neither a certifying statement nor a signature". !!!!!!!!! Freaking out because I know that I did. I re-wrote and emailed it right away of course, but I'm just so confused..

New poll. Good god i love me some new poll.

That could just be a stock answer they give everyone? No need to freak out just yet. As long as they haven't lost your answer sheet or anything knock on wood you should be fine.
