    Gorgeous bottle - good luck replacing it! How do you like the Norlan glasses?

    They are ok, got a pair just to try them. They are extremely light, I do find their heavy tumbler version is a much nicer glass.

    Nothing fancy, just some mixing juice. I do like MG, had the most entertaining tour of the factory, it ended with an American party on a mixology 'course' so paraletic they not only couldn't remember how they got there, they then proceeded to fall into the same bush one after the other. It was 2pm.
    Their coach left empty as they had all staggered off in different directions.

    same fancy levels here, a relative inexpensive —but very good— one Shiraz-Merlot-Cabarnet French blend to go with the bison burger ..

    cheers!

    :)

    I've always been a bit gun-shy of blends, maybe I should revisit.

    (Not my picture, in the interest of disclosure: pretty sure it'd raise the wife's eyebrows if I stole down to the cabinet to snap one right now.)

    The new Ardbeg Wee Beastie has been the dram du jour the last few jours, and I'm settling into an opinion of it. Although half as old, it's definitely > half the pleasure of its twice-as-old sibling in the stable of standard Ardbegs, but it's overpoweringly sweet, I think, and doesn't bring as much peat as any of the other Ardbegs. For $55 I wasn't expecting it to be like a $200 Supernova or anything, but it actually reminds me more of a Caol Ila---which is no bad thing, just not what I expected. (I never read other people's whisky reviews before trying something for the first time, as I feel like they invariably color the experience; I see now that other people have made similar judgments, which is vindicating.) Would definitely get this again---and it's probably a good whisky for someone new to Islays who might be leery of smoke, but it's not an Ardbeggy Ardbeg.

    Dark and Stormy, and for once it’s not the mood of Mrs Chunky

    Sweet patio setup down there! I'm a sucker for outdoor entertainment space. Every few months or so I find myself playing with CAD to dream up some new layout for the acreage I don't own...someday though! If I stop buying watches
