shellylh Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 that's what i get for spending 2 months income on an engagement ring. That is an expensive ring... I would be afraid to wear it. Mark: That drinks sounds good... not sure about the peach brandy but Smith and Cross + Shrubb sounds good. I happen to find some fresh mint and bourbon in the house so I decided to have a Mint Julep*. It was not a bad decision. *Although this does not live up to Al's Mint Julep with a punch (and I don't have any fancy glasses.... yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Nice julep, Shelly. Very pretty and I am sure very tasty. The Stagg julep was awesome. Nice kick like a hoof to the head! I was inspired to try Marc's concoction even without the peach brandy. I made due with a Hungarian Pear Brandy that my Hungarian buddy brought back from a trip over there. Probably not as sweet as the peach, but very tasty and S&C dominated in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Farewell lunch to my law student mentee: Negro Modelo with a chicken & chorizo burrito, and a Rodebach Grand Cru at Rosamunde's along with half of a boar sausage. First time to the mother ship rather than the outpost next door to Toronado. One stop shopping for sausage and beer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 It was great on draft. Nice and tart and pretty light. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffy Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Sounds good....the name kinda threw me off to thinking it was heavy and too filling. I looked it up and apparently it's a light and mildly sour ale. Will try it out next time. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
