Love me a good Sauvignon Blanc. For $15 it's tough to do too much better.

It's decent, not that hard to come by. $30-60 a bottle depending on where you get it. Although jokers on the Net are asking a couple thousand for it. It's loosely related to Pappy Van Winkle which USED to be the last stock of the old Stitzel Weller distillery. Pappy achieved mythical status for a variety of reasons and is now made to order by the same people that make Bulliet. This is a lower grade of spec made Pappy. My guess is not as wheated so it has a cheaper grain bill.

Enjoy it, it's very nice.
@Foo2rama you taught me something! I did have some Bulliet a while back (orange label....) and it was pretty decent. Maybe I should get a wee bottle.

Beetroot juice, cranberry juice, water and a little tea, oh how exciting 馃檨
No alcohol allowed due to new meds.
I'm fine really and i'm sure the twitching will stop soon 馃槻
Sorry to hear this. Friday when I get together with my friends from Belfast, I'll have a Guiness & a black bush for you! Btw, my wife still loves the little 30mm Omega you sold me. She wears it often although she does forget to wind it. 馃檮

Bulliet Rye in the green bottle is my go to old fashioned spirit.

Actually about 60% of whisky in the US is made to order from one place. it's pretty common even in some of the supposedly high end brands.

8.5% and tastes similar to an IPA.
Not sure if I'm a fan

Edit: Turns out this IS an IPA.

With my new appreciation for Pinot Noir this one was a recommendation from my aunt to my father and now to me. Nice Pinot that isn't expensive

Started off with a new beer from Southern Tier Brewing Company. The "Nu Skool IPA" (Lakewood, NY aka 5 minutes from my gf's family).

No photo of this one sorry, but it's a nice light yellow-brown with an small head out of the tap. This was a sweet and malty IPA with a great bite. About half way through it was starting to get too sweet.

Next bar I wanted something light and refreshing so a Heineken for me and Miller Light (my go to light beer) for the gf.

And then back to Southern Tier with a Tangier. A Tangerine IPA. Citrus IPAs have been one of my favorites lately.

After all the craft beer I've been drinking this tastes like swill. Good swill.

Looking forward to getting back to some Scotch after I've had to avoid it for a week for Passover!
