Voltron Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 You roll large 24/7 Greg. Happy Thanksgiving Cabernet. I meant to mention the bottle came from the Whale Cooler at City Beer Store. This could be a bad habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffy Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 JP's delayed birthday gift: Pappy Van Winkle Eclipse from 2008. Goddamn this is a perfect beer. Wow that does sound awesome Al. Did you get this from City Beer recently or back in 2008? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvdunhill Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Jim, can you also comment on the similarities if they exist? I'm other words, are any near equivalents? Me just killed the bottle of Torino. Shelly, any further thoughts on the Vya sweet vermouth? (I know it's likely been a while) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I haven't had any in a week plus but I love the Vya sweet vermouth. It kinda reminds me a bit of spiced apple cider in a way but that's what makes me like it so much. However, I am not so sure I like the Torino as much as I thought I did. I might go back to Carpano for whiskey based drinks like Manhattans, etc and keep another sweet vermouth (like Vya) for other cocktails. Once I am back in the swing of things, I am going to pick up some Perucchi vermouths (they carry them at Houston Wine Merchant). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I really like the Vya Extra Dry. I going to see if I can find a smaller bottle of the Vya sweet and also a bottle of Bonal tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 My god Al, I could not be more jealous of PVW 50/50. Opened my first Bruery Black Tuesday 2011 with my friend Dan tonight. Trying to polish off what he could not finish, which is a blessing of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) The PVW was really sweet, as in awsum. City Beer started a specialty cooler of aged and rare beers for consumption on premises, not take away. Five or six other 50/50s, from 2008 to 2010, also available. Now chillin in Mayberry with a Stillwater Saison Darkly. Edited November 23, 2011 by Voltron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
