Yesterday I (30m) hosted my first house party ever! I had 6 friends over, plus my brother and I, for 90 min before I was all socialized out and the party concluded.

It all happened because 2 weeks ago I watched the Ethan Chlebloski video on balsamic vinegar, and I searched and found some traditional balsamic vinegar that instead of costing $33 - $50 / oz, was less than $1/oz! And from what I can tell, yes it is legit. It just is an import blend from multiple Italian manufacturers and sold by a California company called Calivirgin. So instead of a single certified vinegar from one manufacturer that is a guaranteed specific age, it's an uncertified blend of vinegars from Italy that is aged "up to" 18 years which is fine by me if it's 98% less costly!

So after reading tons of glowing reviews for this "Calivinegar" product, I ordered a gallon jug for $125 ($112.50 after a 10% coupon I found after some googling) and I planned to open it at my house party which we did.

It was delicious! Everyone loved it! The label says only 10 cal and 2g of sugar per tablespoon, but it's really sweet and thick, just like the balsamic in the video. I also bought empty hot sauce bottles and gave each of my friends one of them to take home too, and one of their wives texted me after that it was the best they'd ever had too! Then we watched fireworks later that night, and watched an episode of the Orville. Overall, a really really good day. 😊
