I can't believe I'm going to say this, but that picture made me REALLY want a plate of SPAM and beans. Cheers Mikey!!

Isn't Spam a delicacy in Hawaii and maybe the Philippines? Could be wrong, just off the top of my head ...

Not so much a delicacy, but I thought it became popular in Hawaii during WW2 because it was one of the few foods that were readily available.

Bell's The Oracle DIPA....proper...

Scored a few cases of the new 2009 Shiraz from the farm just down the road from our house. As good as just about anything else made in SA, in my opinion.

Lekker spot, too.

Life and Limb after a morning of kayaking:

Half & half with Guiness & Harp x 3 at the ballgame

3WM Hoosier Beer Geek Double Brown...

North Shore martini with garlic olives.

Thanks JP!

Killed off a bottle of Citadelle Reserve with a G&T.

Nice looking score Stretch!

Tonight I am drinking a Husic Cabernet from the Stag's Leap District so a SL alert goes out to Colin and Jeff, both Stag's Leap fans. This is a small production yet luscious Cab nice fruit layer depth on the palate that has a long finish. I will buy any Cabernet that has a palm tree on the label, and a nice score for me too!

Slow drinking weekend here.

Had some Vespers yesterday out on the deck before dinner. That is definitely the house drink here now.

Today I split a Life and Limb while celebrating the wonderful weather.
