I am currently sipping a glass (or three, or four) of Puligny-Montrachet, a stunning white wine from Burgundy.

Ah, excellent.

Do enjoy your Stellas. You deserve to.

Thank you. And you your wine.

Tonight I am drinking Jack Daniels “charcoal Mellowed” Tennessee Whisky. A Christmas gift from my daughter’s boyfriend. (That lad sure knows a way to his daughter’s father’s heart!) (still don’t like him )

Great post - I enjoyed it and hope you enjoy your (gifted) whisky.

Dare one ask why you don't much care for the lad?

And a “DAFT MONK”. Surprisingly good. Although I have had a few!

Terrific label; I hope the beer lives up to the promise of the label.

Enjoy.

For tonight.

No champagne for me, but I have said yes to a 40 year old tawny port.

 

[hassel]

Never brewed my own beer would fancy doing that at some point.

 

[Scepticalscribe]

Forty year old tawny port going down so well that I may risk another.

For tonight.

Very nice! I sipped some Dom tonight as well.
[doublepost=1546337161][/doublepost]For the new year: 2002 Cristal, 2002 Dom Perignon (Andy Warhol Red Label), and 1990 Krug. I'll post pictures tomorrow.

Back to the fruits of the Grain, back to beer tonight.

I am sipping a glass of CBS from Founder's.

 

[PowerMac G4 MDD]

We had these, for the new year. I'm still not really into Champagne, but an old-enough vintage of Krug is pretty nice. I recently tried an '88, and it was great.

Not really a fan of champagne, but good luck to those who enjoy it.

Personally, I prefer a rich, robust red, (such as a Ripasso), or a good white Burgundy or Riesling.

Y'know, I'm not a big fan either. I've had tasty Champagne (clearly), but it's absolutely nowhere as good other fine wines. It lacks the complexity of regular wine, but I guess that's the point: it's for celebration—not contemplation. (The tannins associated with Champagne also slightly trigger my gag reflex.)

The Palmer was a great red. Although I prefer Burgundy over Bordeaux, this Bordeaux was old enough / well-aged. Full of sediment.
[doublepost=1546488345][/doublepost]Has anyone had Kilt Lifter? It's an Arizona beer. I just tried one over the holiday; it's fairly sweet, but it has a nice roasted taste and isn't too bitter.

Hmm. Was not aware Neiman Marcus sold vintage wines.

Last night, I treated myself to a CBS from Founders.

A Riesling - a dry Riesling - from Germany is keeping me company this evening.

 

[Scepticalscribe]

I had planned to have wine last night but ended up sipping beer (Trappistes Rochefort 8) with the carer and her friend (they also sipped and savoured Belgian beer).

Currently enjoying some Yellow Spot. Rounds off a nice week of light grazing on the alcohol front. Though had some tasty poitin earlier in the week.

Ah, Yellow Spot.

A lovely whiskey, smooth and mellow.

An award winning Riesling (in the Alsace style) from Australia: Sevenhill Clare Valley St Francis Xavier Single Vineyard.

Agree re the preference for Burgundy over Bordeaux, and I prefer a good white Burgundy, or proper Chateauneuf-du-Pape (or Ripasso) or St-Emilion to any Champagne.

Currently sipping the wonderful CBS from Founders.
