This was what I had for Christmas dinner. The margaux had gone bad, unfortunately.
After dinner, I had a bottle of Frederiksdal Solera, and it was incredible. Highly recommend trying any of Frederiksdal Cherry wines, never been disappointed.

Hang onto that thing for three decades to find it’s bad? In a year of indignities, that’s one more.
I feel your pain.

16 large at the package store. Straight up, neat in a steel bullet proof flask that sits in the inside upper left pocket of my war torn leather jacket. Perfect for a late night winter stake out hunting down and getting revenge on the Russian mob kingpin that raped and killed my family. Takes the edge off.

live life dangerously....open one, or risk waiting until it has become expensive vinegar.
I decided waiting for wine is not for me long ago, when I bought some cases Latour before they were even produced, too early to drink...guess what, 2 bottles made it to the 'right age'

Speaking of "vinegar", that reminds me of a gentleman I met,,, a number of years back, in the bar of a beautiful hotel in the Laurentian foothills, north-west of Montreal. He and his companion,,, a beautiful young lady,,, had just left the dining-room, and came to the bar for after-dinner liquers. During our conversation, he mentioned how much they enjoyed their dinner, yet, how thoroughly disappointed he was with the hotel's wine-list (and he was 100% right). I agreed with him, and mentioned off-hand that I had better wines at home,,, specifically those two bottles of 1976 Margaux that I mentioned above, sitting in my collection. He immediately asked me if they might be "for sale",,,, and offered me $2k. for the two bottles. I was to say at the very least, surprised at his offer, and responded "but you have no idea if these bottles are still any good".... His response was, "ahhh yes,,,but,,,, that is the charm of the game, isn't it".
Turns out that this gentleman (bon vivant) was a "buyer",,,, "of what I asked?" He responded that he makes his living buying and dealing in fine wines, liquers, liqour, art, fine cigars, etc. The "charm of that game"he said with a smile,,," was that you never know until you've committed and popped the corks, if that wine is still good".
That was roughly 15 years ago, and he was one of those rare people you don't easily forget. I hope our paths may cross again someday,,, and, for-what-it's worth, I still have thos e two bottles of 1976 Margaux.

Eagle Rare 17 year old tonight.
I had a '76 Mouton recently, which was still in a good place... If yours are the 1st Growth (as in Chateau Margaux), they should still be drinking but probably want opening soonish. If they're a different Chateau I think you'd definitely want to try soon.
Just my 2c!

I had some German session IPA that was downright awful. I think this was the worst beer since that odd one where they throw hot stones into the beer during the brewing process ....

I was still living in Indiana when we hosted the Super Bowl in '12. At that time you still couldn't buy any sort of alcohol to go on Sundays which was obviously a massive issue leading into SB Sunday. Well, in the weeks ahead, the Indy Star published an article from lawmakers explaining that public drinking was actually legal, and everyone had basically just been assuming it wasn't forever, so this opened up the opportunity for bars to sell drinks in plastic cups so folks could roam around as they pleased.
My 25 year old ass, deep in the throws of developing alcoholism, decided that meant I should walk around downtown with a 1/5th of Old Grand Dad in my hand (and a reserve in a backpack) finding people who were in from out of town and welcoming them with a shot. It could be argued that the unwilling were peer pressured/berated into joining, but everyone mostly seemed to enjoy it as much as me.
The small group of 40 something Boston Pats bros trying to flex in a bar that I tried to buy a drink for later in the night were *far* less amused when I opened with "**** Bill Belichick, I hope all the bad things in the world happen to him and only him, but welcome to Indy, let me buy ya a round!" They were spending way more money than me, and I was escorted out for refusing to stop demanding they let me buy them a ****** cheap round of beers. The bar was making enough that they told me not to bother paying for the ****** beers I'd been drinking, and those dudes didn't kick my ass like they kept threatening to, so all in all I'd say that was a pretty fantastic Friday.
As for right now? Hendricks dirty martinis while I go at some cabbage for kraut

Maybe one day I will tell you guys about my Colombian necktie scar due to some aguardiente and a couple of bottles of whiskey in Bogota.

Is that Blanton's Gold I see? I have two unopened bottles I've yet to try. What do you think of it? I know it's single barrel stuff, but still.

It's a solid pour with a very good nose and a strong if somewhat abbreviated finish. Glad I have a bottle but it's not my favorite bourbon and I doubt I'll seek more out when it's gone.

I opened a bottle of La Vialla Sangiovese, always a pleasant experience..
Black Raven is a regional brewery that I really like but sadly can't find a lot of in my location. Their Trickster IPA is my absolute favorite beer. The bitter in that beer comes out of the glass, smacks you in the face, mocks you, and then smacks you again. I love it but again, it is hit or miss if I can find it.
Now, I'm not usually one for fruit in my beer, but loving that Trickster and even more blueberries, when I first saw this I just had to try it. And boy am I glad I did!
Not super bitter or sweet. Just great flavor and balance.
