We bought a new wine rack this week, so here it is stocked up...



In the process of putting the wine in the rack, we realized we have a fair bit of ice wine (20 bottles - 1/2 bottles actually as these are sold in 375 ml bottles rather than 750)...and the oldest I found in my stash is this 1997 Oak Aged Vidal:



Only one bottle of that and I'll save it for a while longer, but I found 2 bottles of this 2003 Pelee Island Vidal ice wine:



So we cracked one open last night for a drink in the evening, and it was fantastic. Vidal ice wine is a straw colour when bottled, but over the last 17 years this one has aged to a very deep caramel colour:



The flavours have intensified over time...dried apricots, peach...it was lovely.

Not something you would drink a lot of, but as a special treat it was very good.

 

That looks awesome! My wife loves ice wine. I have a few nice bottles of wine that I’ve had tucked away for 10 years or more. Some I need to drink before they go bad.....

 

These are my current dram......

 

and a bitter sweet one for Ardbeg fans........ over 20ish years ago when Ardbeg reopened I purchased a case of each of these...... these are the last but loved every sip .

 

From the first post...

"let's restrict it to those beverages of the alcoholic variety."

 

Picked up an assortment for the weekend.
I’m an ale guy.

 

Settling in to a weekend of disinfecting our household glasses, among other things.

 

Not today, because it isn't 10:00AM where I am yet, plus I am at work and they frown upon the teachers drinking, but I just bought a 12 year old bottle of Jura because the liquor store had no Lagavulin. It's not bad.

 

Picked up a bottle of this Bordeaux the other week to try, since it was on sale:



Tried on Friday night and it was pretty good, potential to get better with time, so went back and picked up all they had left, which was 15 bottles...need another wine rack now...

 

Flor de Caña!!

 

Bell’s Two Hearted IPA.

 

This alcoholic beverage...


And maybe this

 

Drinking on the cheap...Coors Light! No pic needed

 

Back in 1984 I was drinking something else at our fraternity house (see pic below). Not quite sure what it was...but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t Dunkin’.

LATE ENTRY: For the record, I’m not wearing a toga in the pic below because I went directly from geology lab (my degree is in geology) to our fraternity house...no time to fetch the toga from the dorm...gotta party.

 

Downing a couple of pints of the dark stuff earlier today in Tenerife,

 

The boy next door. I don’t see a watch. Was the Fonz living upstairs?

 

‘Looks like you were having a great night!
