nice... seems that one could lay down for a long time as well

I have a few stashed Mikey so I am having one per year of these to evaluate how well they age in the bottle. And yes this puppy could and would taste very nice in twelve years, if I can resist the temptation. I also have a case of the well received 2006 Cardinale which will sit for another five years before I start sampling.

killed another one of these with green curry chicken...

too lazy to take another picture tonight

Star Lane 2009 Sauv Blanc

had some great wine at Emily's birthday dinner, last night. Vieux Telegraphe “La Crau” Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2008 and Saint Gayan Rasteau Cotes-du-Rhone 2007. now having the remnants of a spooky cocktail: a blue raspberry halloween mix from Target, with fresh squeezed key lime, turbinado sugar, club soda and vodka. not terrible.

Bday dinner sounds like it was nice. Spooky cocktail sounds creepy to me...

Nice Greg, Mikey, Dan, Jacob, Al, and Mike.

Cocktail hour! Mandarin Napoleon Sidecars with our very own lemons.

Very nice and different from the Cointreau variety.

I went to the store to get some Mandarine Napoleon and Creole and they were all out of both!

Right now I am having some bourbon with my sweet vermouth.

1 oz Vya sweet vermouth

1 oz Blanton's bourbon

1 dash Fee Bros Whiskey Barrel Aged bitters

I really like the Vya sweet vermouth. Drinking it straight, I like it more than the Cocchi Vermouth di Torino.

They don't put enough Cabernet in those Cardinale bottles, drinking the Pinot now.

Sounds nice! Happy Birthday, Emily!

Pliny the Elder, courtesy of Al. Thanks man, this is really fantastic. From the bottle, this is likely better than Dreadnaught.

more of my favorite IPA, burton baton

Likely?! No question it is better. (Don't tell Shelly)

No way, he is just saying that so you'll agree to send him more.

That's old, alright.

I'll have to grab a Dreadnaught and have Debbie do a taste test between the two.

It had better be double blind!

ya, throw in a couple Blind Pigs...

FFF BrooDoo...

Happy Halloween...
