What are you drinking tonight?

[waybomb]

Tonight an inexpensive Shiraz from Australia

 

[Melensdad]

As is typical, for me, Kentucky Bourbon.

Started out the evening with Weller Special Reserve (inexpensive but hard to find in some areas) and finished the evening with a limited edition Yellowstone, distilled by my friend Stephen Beam of the "Jim Beam" family. 115 proof, so a little goes a long way, but very tasty.

Tonight we'll try a pinot noir.
Trying lots of different wines. Want to stock up on good stuff.
This Longiria had to be one of the best oinot I have tried.it's on my buy list.

 

[waybomb]

And tonight dinner Shannon Zinfandel.
Only a few more days of Todd wine tasting and it's back to work I go. I think tomorrow night will be Lagavulin and a stogie

 

[Melensdad]

Limited Edition Knob Creek 12 Year

100 proof

Mighty smooth and tasty.

 

[Melensdad]

something like dr pepper the best yet brand

I have to agree with you that Dr Pepper is good stuff. My absolute favorite carbonated beverage!

 

[waybomb]

Had a dram of Macallan 25 earlier at a restaurant.
Noir on the dock with an inexpensive red blend. Not bad at all. Quite good actually.

 

[waybomb]

A French wine tonight.

 

[Melensdad]

Tonight I cracked open a bottle of MIDWINTER NIGHT'S DRAM

It is a highly acclaimed, and very limited edition, rye whiskey. Totally amazing stuff. I've been getting 1 bottle a year for many years. I'd buy 2 bottles if I could get 2 but that is a near impossibility. I'm thankful that my local shop owner is a friend of mine and sets aside one of his allocation bottles for me.

 

[FrancSevin]

Possibly a bit of crow....;

More later

 

[waybomb]

And tonight is Guarachi vineyard red. This is nice. Real nice.

 

[FrancSevin]

The crow went down well in the end but only after a bit of a fight with the boss who is also the wife. I had stepped down as President and my son took over. But he has girlfriend issue ( a really bad girl) so I have filled in. We basically had a disagreement about truth to a customer. Whilst I did win the argument , one always loses to the wife. A Long night and it is better now.

I'm celebrating with a local wine "Bob White." A semisweet white with apple after tones. Hopewell winery in western Illinois near Quincy.

Much better than the crow.

 

[Melensdad]

If you like black licorice then this is your drink. But only in moderation. At 138 proof it’s got a bit of a kick.

 

[FrancSevin]

Thanks MD. Black licorice, real licorice, is my favorite candy.

I've gotta look this one up.

 

[Melensdad]

Boiled apple cider/bourbon Old Fashioned tonight on the patio

 

[waybomb]

Tonight simply some Irish Creme on ice.

 

[olivia24]

I like vodka just a bit.

 

[waybomb]

Whatever this is, it ain't bad

 

[Melensdad]

I just poured a dram of REBEL 10year Special Reserve. It is their limited release 100 proof bourbon. Rebel is inexpensive bourbon so even the limited release is a bargain compared to many brands.

 

[olivia24]

I always stick with vodka, mixed with pineapple, orange juice and cherries.

 

[Doc]

Went to house of wine for dinner tonight. I am not a wine drinker but I tried a couple.
1st was a Pinot noir
Then I went to a Sauvignon blanc. I like it best and brought home a bottle of it with me.

 

[waybomb]

I was thinking I was paying more for the bottle than the wine. But this wine was worth it.Sterling Indium. 2016.

 

[Melensdad]

Went to a graduation party for one of my fencing students. Walked up and her dad said "the good bourbon is inside" walked me in, poured me a deep pour of Blanton's. So it was obviously 5 o'clock somewhere, even if it was early afternoon!

 

[waybomb]

Been raining out so been inside and drinking liquor like scotch and knob. But tonight is nice. So here is a nice example of a 300 case run.
Nice.
The writing on the back claims it tastes of cherries, chocolate, vanilla bean, and roasted fig. Gotta say, I usually don't taste what the vitners claim, but this one, I can actually taste them all.

 

[FrancSevin]

Rebel Root Beer Whiskey.
Stop laughing. it's really good stuff.

 

[waybomb]

I only snicker at anything with an umbrella.in it.

If I haven't said it before I'll say it now....You're a pretty cool guy.

 

[Melensdad]

Last night I had some Thomas S Moore, port cask finished, bourbon.

Simply a wonderful beautiful bourbon.

 

[waybomb]

Went to Schererville to meet some friends that were up in Gurney Illinois for a bit.
Some Italian chain place. Wasn't bad. Had a bloody Mary there; have had much better Came home, and doing Irish creme on ice.
Getting up early tomorrow to had to the rte 12 garage sale

 

[waybomb]

And tonight a pinot noir. A nice one at that.
The rte 12 garage sale was a busy for me. Wife got done nice glass sculpture things. I got a small two wheel folly for one of the outboards to use as an outboard stand.
