Yes, she likes where we live a lot.  I was thinking about places to visit.

There is a tiny town in Hawaii called Hawi Hawi that she likes a lot too.

And she ADORES Austin, TX and keeps wanting me to move there ....

Ha!  I know that ain't true.  Y'all wandered around this town for days and never found a place to eat that impressed you even a little bit.

It was akin to our visit to New Orleans ... we were staying with a friend of my wife's and she claimed she KNEW where to dine.  I took a couple blind shots myself on my own and did as well.  The Lady drove us about town, for some obscure reason, and pointed out this and that, like an office building was somehow notable.  Yay.

I had better food at this tailgate I attended there once.

I think we did the catered taco buffet for that one?  Their food is good, but I really wish you'd been here for a game where I did BBQ.

For the Notre Dame game a few years later, I smoked SEVEN briskets and we still ran out before the line was finished.  I spent something like 1.5 hours slicing brisket that day, brutal, but man it turned out great.

I'm sold on Texas BBQ brisket because of Fox Bros.

Every brisket I'd had before that was dry and tasteless.

Yep.
Bald Greg still remembers your generous donation that day, and the reciprocal agreement to show the Badgers game. :)

In fact we turned that into part of the business model, offering up extra TVs for "purchase" for specific games, for those attending the tailgate party.

That's great to hear. I was happy to do it, particularly knowing your cause.

Korbel is pretty fun, it's a nice place and they do walk ins, or used to.  Their wines are "meh", but OK for the price.  They are allowed to called their stuff "California Champagne", which is an oxymoron of sorts.
Definitely a great stop. Beautiful old property and building right on the Russian River. They also have a little deli that's nice if you build your visit about lunchtime. While nobody is super excited for Korbel champagne, it's a good place to go if you're there. It was the first time I've ever seen a red wine champagne.

Real Champagne is made from Pinot noir, Pinot meunier, and Chardonnay, so there.

Agree. And many people (I doubt anyone here is guilty of this, of course) don't realize that white wines are made from red grapes. So it's not like a red champagne should necessarily be as notable as it was, but I've only seen one other of them anywhere else since.

Only sparkling red I've ever had was Lambrusco.
