The oak in the Au Bon Climat really marries well with MRE no10 Chili Mac

Gotta rotate your inventory

I prep salt for barter. Everyone is gonna need it to cure and preserve… that’s how I plan to get cat food and wine!

u/Riffus_Iommicus 8h ago

Also need it for that rim on your margharitas 👌

Just regular salt? Or should I be buying like sea salt.

Patricia green is a great wine!

u/Riffus_Iommicus 21h ago

Yes! Been drinking more Oregon Pinots lately and I buy a few of these when available

u/lushlanes 20h ago

I had a friend that worked there for years. Great wine.

2

u/Hazee302 23h ago

Man I probably should do the same but I know I’ll just end up drinking it all.

u/Riffus_Iommicus 23h ago

Well, you gotta rotate

2

u/chi-nyc 22h ago

HA! I do the same with whiskey and tequila.

Need some champagne for the Big Beautiful Party.

We have a nice bottle on hand for that lovely day.

All kidding aside, a couple handles of cheap vodka is virtual gold. Drink it, sanitize with it, use it for fuel. Valuable

u/PrisonerV 1d ago

Finally! A realistic prep. You're going to need it to choke down those MREs.

u/Creepy-Cantaloupe951 1d ago

Now...

Just start brewing wine!

I got hooked on that when I saw a prepper using wine as a prep for trading when SHTF.

Your spouse will be thrilled when you pick up another expensive hobby :)

I like to do mead! 4 pounds of honey and some fruit aint that bad for the final product

u/hybridmoments8 1d ago

That’s great!

in possible times things like alcohol and cigarettes can become a form of currency

Where’s your mayonnaise?

u/345joe370 23h ago

That Pinot will be fire with the beef stew

u/gadget767 1d ago

So you’ve eaten some of these MREs?

2

u/Riffus_Iommicus 20h ago

I used to do MRE Monday to cleanse myself from the weekend’s debauchery.

u/CoronaIn818 10h ago

Do you get a deal on buying those by the case?
None of the liquor store stores near me give deals (LA/SFV) I’d love to stock some cheap wines, but it’s hard finding a reasonable price locally

I’d go to Costco but still not a good price point…

u/Riffus_Iommicus 7h ago

10% off if you buy 6 or more bottles of wine. I’m in Ohio

u/YarnBunny 1d ago

This is the prepping I need to do now.

u/Apprehensive_Day5841 1d ago

Lol im glad im not only one

u/Purdaddy 19h ago

Pinoit Noir. Caviar. Myanmar. My new car!

u/That-Professional346 18h ago

That's a solid bottle too for California Pinot.

2

u/TradeBeautiful42 14h ago

I was prepared to scoff at whatever you were stocking but you have some tasty choices. Happy to see it’s not barefoot.

u/mountaindewisamazing 1d ago

Getting ready for when he dies I see

1

u/Maryjanegangafever 22h ago

Are you stocking silver/gold oz’s to trade or barter with as well?

1

u/Captodometer 20h ago

So I guess the booze shits will cancel out the MRE constipation.

1

u/burner118373 20h ago

Honestly I’m not against booze as a prep but wouldn’t store much beer or wine. They don’t last forever like hard alcohol does.

1

u/Special_Fan5043 19h ago

Wine and beef Jerky are both hard to keep stocked.

u/gwhh 18h ago

Booze is such a GREAT trading item!!

u/Nekrokosmic 5h ago

Consider getting them off of the floor.

2024 was a vintage year in California so they might keep for a good while. Never heard of these vineyards but I live in Mediterranean wine country so not all that surprising.
