Christianity should catechize us in open-handedness with our rights—a willingness to give them up for the good of another.
Our cultural addiction to *self* defense is evident in the greedy way we scrabble for and clutch at our rights, whether to bear arms or to choose.
We are spending a lot of money with them this summer and it just feels gross to be bullied and taken advantage of, especially when you’ve been a loyal customer for years. We just want to talk to someone and be taken seriously…
We have used and appreciated @Airbnb for many years but are currently mired in the most miserable dispute and going in circles with “customer service” that is clearly intended to be so horrible to navigate that people just give up.
@alancornett Looks to me like they ship everywhere except these states? If I’m not reading it right and they won’t ship to KY, let me know. I’m headed home to California this summer and this shop is local so I could probably make something happen.
@alancornett I don’t have many of their offerings, but if you ever find yourself in Portland…
By the way, take a look here. It’s a mix of old and newer releases, but some things that definitely aren’t available anywhere else: https://t.co/LmSA3PVTzv
@alancornett Beyond age, their single varietals and use of prime wine grapes rather than just ugni or other normal cognac varietals are so interesting. I love that they didn’t settle for status quo but pioneered something new based on what was available locally using old techniques.
@alancornett Oh no! American brandy is a category to drink!
I had a pour from my pre-gallo XO and it was better than I remembered. Went down a rabbit hole looking for their pre-sale releases online. A rarity in American craft distilling where the story is amazing and the spirit better.
