Pregame with Wino Friday

Ok 82, enjoyed reading your posts and assuming you know your wine. And wondering if you can advise a relative neophyte consumer on selection of solid cab? If you prefer PM vs this format . Thanks

I will be in town this weekend visiting my parents, and my husband just said he’ll join me. Maybe we can make it down for some drinks. I am assuming everyone will be in identifiable wrestling garb?

The cheesecake or the turndown service?

FYI, I tried to get reservations for the Tavern on Tuesday morning and they were booked. So some of us might move to Local Whisky about 6 pm. My wife is not a big fan of Doggies, she calls it a dungeon. And she isn't wrong...
From the sounds of it, my gang will be eating bar food, so Doggies…or LW?

My friend had the beaver burger once, wouldnt recommend it, his had a hair on it.
 
During Thanksgiving someone posted a thread about giving thanks. I posted that I was thankful for what could happened to me . I was recovering from being run over by a pickup truck as a pedestrian.
My family gave me Iowa tickets for Christmas not knowing what my recovery time would be.
I'm glad to say "I'll be there" on Friday, albeit with healing clavicle and shoulder.
Maybe I'll try to make one of the suggested social venues.
You sound like a 6th year Iowa wrestler…
 
I’m debating on whether to eat on way up or get something at Local Whiskey. Do you think it’ll be busy and a long wait to eat there?
It is a crap shoot. My plan is to go and try and if it is too busy then grab some fast food somewhere and back to Doggies. It is pretty big there. Though I am not sure what the student bar population will be like.

You aren't eating at Sheetz at the light?
I was up your way yesterday. Great driving weather. Stopped at the Anytime Fitness in that mall across from Sheetz to get an old man workout in.

Friday nights are a big bar night in state college, but the kids don't come out really until 10 or so. There are several good eating options near these places, so if things are busy at one, you can try another. The Indian place across from Local Whiskey is pretty good. Lupita's on Beaver is the most authentic mexican I've had in SC (though still not really in the top quarter of mexican I've had elsewhere--the tamales are great). Allen St Pizza is new, has decent pizza and wings. Margarita's Pizza on Beaver is the closest to "NY style" these days. Then there's BRGR, Pickles, The Corner Room (if its open, a roll of the dice). Champs has good food (on Allen), I like the Shawarma cart on the corner of Pugh & Beaver. Tadashi (on College--if you want sushi, it's the one on Atherton) is some mighty fine Ramen. Hell--5 guys is good too (and I sometimes see our wrestlers there--though probably not before weigh-ins). Snap Pizza is good, and you can support Roman.

Don’t mention the Swarma truck to my wife! It was just outside our hotel window last Friday night and kids were there yelling until at least 3 am! She is a light sleeper…..


In my day the Skeller filled up early afternoon on fridays! I did many a case study there.

What time? I was at the strip mall several times yesterday. No Sheetz for me. Well… I would but my girlfriend would probably kill me if I tried to get us Sheetz tomorrow. Lol

I was late. No way I was getting home early enough to get into the Y. Probably around 830PM.

Back in December my wife and I took our youngest granddaughter to the Nutcracker in Pittsburgh. We tried to stop and eat dinner after the ballet, but my granddaughter kept insisting she wasn't hungry until we got close to Ebensburg. I ask if she wanted a couple dogs from Sheetz, "Nooooo!" Where do you want to eat? Texas Hotdogs by DelGrosso's.
She just wanted a banana split. I would have rather stopped at The Meadows for the ice cream, but the kid gets what the kid wants.
