@ulackfocus 1985. The year my daughter was born and she was with us to drink it. Unfortunately I have promised her some of the bottles.

 

I have the same issue. Not too many things effect it but it is one major pain in the ass at times. And a little embarrassing at times.

 

Nice! Did you know that was "Wine of the Year" in 1988?

Did it still have the graphite / pencil shavings odor?

 

Not to my nose it didn't. My wife just broke into a big smile when she tasted it. Her comment was that it had "no aftertaste". By that she meant it had none of the bitterness or woody taste, just the taste of the wine.

 

Right now a 'Pen Pal'...Orange peel infused Mezcal, Cynar, Campari - surprisingly good

 

just finished a really tasty double espresso...... when it kicks in I think I'll go chase some cars.

 

Haig Club (and my Datejust again - color matched )

 

Just a good old fashioned Coors, from a can...

 

It's 10:34AM. Which means I'm on my 3rd cup of coffee.

 

Lipton Yellow Lable tea, found all over the world. An old friend when there is no twinnings lady grey available. In just over week from now I shall be swigging beer in Istanbul. All these pictures are making my mouth dry.

 

Going with this Malbec, good daily drinker at about $15. I think some of the best wine bargains can be found in Argentinian Malbecs

 

Macallan single malt and Cohiba cigar after a long day in the office.

 

Had a bottle of 2012 Textbook Napa Cab with hibachi short ribs while Windy had JJ Prüm Riesling (2011 or 2012 - I forget which). Safe to say several bottles of both will be purchased for the cellar.

There's a 1995 Caymus Special Selection for my after work consumption this week.

 

Just an outstanding dram that will put you on your ass in a hurry.

 

That stuff is strong but good. I don't usually put ice in but I do with that stuff. It's inspired me to go get myself a Dalmore 15. Pics to follow

 

The watch and Dalmore 15. Awesome Scotch whiskey

My back yard in the background....



My back patio with outdoor fireplace in the background...

 

You guys are killing me with the single malts! Just fantastic. Well you can guess what I'll be pouring shortly.

 

Atta boy AAAKK!!

 

Lagavulin Single Malt tonight! With my trusty 16610 Sub.. Hearing all the other single malt's being poured so I had to

 

An Islay fan. Good for you. I don't hate them but I prefer Highland malts. I guess I'm soft....
