Ditto. I haven't been buying cases since I started watching my wine budget, but I like to buy a case when I find something I like.
For a reasonably priced but good prosecco, I would try Zardetto. Specs warehouse usually has it, around $12-14 a bottle.

Hello 1,:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: post club.

Welcome to the big leagues ;)

I've tried Zardetto - it's good; there's one I like better (can't remember the name right now) that is usually in the $14-16 range.

I figured it had to be good.

They aren't bad at all. Not the best ever, but for airport barbecue, it's decent. And that's not pulled pork. It's chopped brisket. The baked potato with chopped brisket is the best thing there, in my opinion.

CUN I might brave or MEX but the border, where a lot of Spring Break kids go for cheap drinks, is not a safe place with the gang wars.

Yeah I wouldn't go near the Mexican border towns these days. It's a shame, because that used to be a cheap and easy way to have a quasi-international experience if you happened to be in South/Southwestern Texas.

St. Arnold (Patron Saint of Brewers)

I pray to the Patron Saint of EUAs on a daily basis. It generally works out quite well in my favor. Got my latest upgrade e-mail right on time yesterday, exactly five days before Monday's ATL-IAH flight departs.

Not sure if it fits your needs, but I use this Briggs & Riley bag as an overnight bad (it's perfect for mileage runs as well).

I have been looking at this brand as well. They seem to make very high quality bags. Thanks.

The one I like has been too hard to find lately. I buy cheap stuff for mimosas (add a bit of Grand Marnier and it tastes amazing) but need a bit better for straight drinking ;)

Check this out.

We can order this at our grocery. It is worth it.

LMAO! You forgot several other incredible destinations on Colgan Air, including DRT, which still holds the record as the longest turboprop route out of IAH — and in the summer, the most turbulent, as it frequently encounters quite a bit of rough air over the desert areas north of Del Rio.

All Rudy's locations sell gas. It's really more of a barbecue place that happens to sell gas, though, rather than a gas station that happens to sell barbecue. I rarely, if ever, drive past one and see someone pumping gas, and their gas is usually more expensive than other competitors in the neighborhood. The food there is pretty good though.

There's one not too far from IAH When I was recently there with J.Edward he slyly got me to order way too much so he could enjoy the left overs (we ordered about 9 pounds of BBQ for 5 people)... :rolleyes: Their creamed corn was AMAZING!

I must try their creamed corn. I've never had it.
