    • Torbreck "RunRig" 2018.  98% Syrah, 2% Viognier.  Fantastic, elegant, long finish.  $495 on our list.

    Muga "Prado Enea" 2014.  Beautiful wine from Rioja, Spain.

    Lopez Heredia "Vina Tondonia" 2006.  Gorgeous wine.

    Krug Champagne.  $375.  Stellar.

    Rauzan-Gassies Margaux 2005.  Absolutely lovely Left-Bank Bordeaux.  $295.

    Very good night for wine sales, despite the clearly-faltering economic landscape.

    Godspeed. Salud!

    Our Lord Himself chose to make the miraculous creation of stunningly-excellent wine His very first public miracle and Our Blessed Mother understood its rightful use and enjoyment well enough to ask Him to intervene.

    THAT is the vintage and varietal I want to try!

    With respect to Our Lord's wine, I am with you :)

    As for optics, there's some excellent stuff there, but I will have to wait until I get my bonus before making such a purchase.  Thank you again for the link.

    • Outrageous prices on the night vision.

    I thought some day, it would become more affordable, but instead it’s going in the opposite direction.

    Cheaper to buy a mortar canon and launch phosphorus flares on parachutes 😂

    Then, once you've taken out a gubmint stooge, you can take his equipment, including night-vision, etc :)

    Actually… if Holosun follows through on their announced thermal red dot sight, there will be a CQB-capable thermal sight for $2.5k (compared to $13k for a moderately high end sniper thermal like the L3 LWTS). It's not cheap, but that is a dramtic decrease in price.

    The caveat is that you better know where your people are because the resolution probably won't be great for "friend or foe" ID.
