the most likely origin of the quote, given that the it isn't searchable probably due to some odd caching problem, was probably that it was spliced together from two other quotes
the reason for this being that the likelihood of someone being both very serious invested in the arguments surrounding 'parkerizaton' in wine and the arguments surrounding post-structuralism in the anglophone academy in the 80s/90s seems minimal, and that if they were it doesn't make to use these terms
the wine being described would be referred to as 'modernist', this is a fairly contextually lucid term to describe the qualities (lots of oak/alcohol/primary fruit aromatics, low acid/tannin) of the sort of 'international style' of the last decade, 'post-modernist' if it were to mean anything in wine would mean the corrective-minded succcessor to this style
probably also worth noting that describing someone whose insight, such as it was, was to combine such ur-modernist disciplines as psychoanalysis and semiotics as a post-modernist is taking wheen/sokal/etc at their word more than the author, though it does at least scan contextually

amused by idea that poster on wine forum might have spliced two quotes/ fields of knowledge
wd like to make joke about suture & subject as lack & ilx posts as signifying chain, but not up to it rn
agree that term ‘postmodernist’ for lacan is unenlightening cliche (though i’ll take poststructuralist)
since quote unsearchable, grateful you had gentillesse to overlook ‘my’ vapidity/ incoherence
wd hope for high expectations extended e.g. to imago, but i’ll do without the punishment :)

2006 PARAS, Viognier, Mount Veeder, Napa Valley—reg.$38….super special deal--$20.00
When I think about what wine to drink with Thanksgiving dinner, I think of a super dope Riesling. I gave up on trying to sell you Riesling years ago since most of you think that Riesling is for pussys. So, this is definitely the way to go. Estate grown on Mt. Veeder and made by Douglas Danielak, it has a tiny bit of sweetness but stays clean and pimpin’ with bright fruit and good acidity. Flavors of pear, melon, peach, and quince float above a rich but refined mouthfeel.
Remember that when pairing a wine with Thanksgiving dinner, you don’t match the wine with a bland white meat, you pair it with all the other stuff. This wine will go perfectly with gravy, potatoes, butternut squash, spicy stuffing, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie. I’m actually being serious for once. You can drink your expensive Cab, but if you want something that will really pair up with traditional food, this is the one. It is nowhere near being over the hill at six years old, and is vibrantly alive and pumping with fresh fruit, bright aromas, and a long lingering finish. Plus, it used to be $38. Jim Paras is retiring from the production end of the wine biz, and is giving me some ridiculous pricing that I am passing on to you. You know you don’t want to pour your expensive stuff for all the turkeys that come over in flocks, put ice in their wine, pour brimmers, and can’t comprehend what class and style are.

2012 KEENAN, Merlot, Napa Valley--$38.00
The last few months we’ve been finding some killer Merlots. Selene, Farella, etc. This month it’s the Keenan. I’m not gonna waste too many words here since most of you don’t give a shit about Merlot. But for those who do, this is the dope. You don’t have to come to our Merlot party. It’s just a bunch of super cool, really hot nerds that love having sex and don’t follow trends or fads. Merlot..It’s the new Cabernet!

2006 DAVID FULTON, Estate Petit Sirah, St. Helena, Napa Valley--$45.00
Last year we described this wine as a giant fire-breathing mule with glowing red eyes and a giant harness of pig skulls on barbed wire pulling a huge Fulton plow. This year it’s even more ominous. Blackberry, black cherry, black plum, black pepper, and raspberry are supported and amplified by perfectly integrated oak, bruising tannin, and spine tingling acidity. This is one of those wines that only pussies pass up. This wine is the reason why we drink red wine. Try pairing it with food, but you better get your big pans out, scorch fat, and shake your flavor shakers. Don’t be a pussy.

I know how the numbers work, which has brought to my attention that many of you are cheating on me. Most of you live in another state, and at the very least, another area code. So, it’s not like I can have “the talk”, throw down the ultimatum, and insist that you never bang another wine shop. And if you are whoring around another shop and getting some wine on the side, that’s fine, but be sure to call your ex-bottom bitch at Groezingers for some of that old fashioned cork tugging you love so much, those chug-a-lugging teary eyed gagging noises, and the steady flow of great small production wines.

el tomboto steak rub wins every time. stars indicate optionalness
1 part garlic powder1 part black pepper1 part kosher salt1 part parsley flakes* dash cayenne or peri-peri or whatever hotness, your call* dash rosemary
for a 6-8oz steak I usually use 1/2 tsp of each ingredient, I think. I just eyeball everything at this point. It's just the right amount of savory and heat. People are always nice when you make them steaks but I'm pretty confident a couple or three of the many "this might be the best steak I've had" type compliments were genuine. Mostly because the bar for a well prepared steak is for shit, honestly.
― BRAAAAAAMETHEUS (El Tomboto), Wednesday, 7 October 2015 22:49 (eight years ago) link
possibly not obvious but crucial point - always cook steaks on high or very high, probably 200F+ or 90C+, always aim for medium rare, and always put the seasoning on both sides and rub it in a little bit with your thumb around 5 minutes prior to putting it on the grill. the kosher salt makes the juices rise to the surface which makes the other seasonings stick to the meat while cooking and lets good things happen.
