A number of fairly rare rums (I was taken to a famous rum bar on Sanibel Island in Florida for my birthday) have dominated 2010...never knew some could be so smooth!

Exactly to the left of me when I saw this thread pop up. A thrice drained cup of vodka/cranberry (not my usual). A Lee Child novel I am currently reading. My Seamaster, a couple of spyerco's and my great grandfathers marble ashtray ornamenting my desk in the background. My Italian ancestors were marble workers. Behind is a picture of my wife and I. A guitar pick lays about. I have two guitars in this "office" room. I don't claim to be any good.

Tried this 2005 Penfolds St. Henri last night as part of a wine + cheeses appreciation thing, brings Friday night work drinks to a whole new level :o)

Counting down the hours until I leave the office. After a trying week, a date with my couch, a bottle of cabernet, and some cheese is in order. I can usually be found drinking blended scotch, but when I want to feel like I've accomplished something, cleaning up a bottle of wine solo is always a good measure.

The cheese in the pic doesnt do it for me, but boy... The Penfold's. Yah, the Penfolds. I can't believe you didn't save me a glass. It's my favorite.

Agreed. Sounds nice. I'm trying to switch to wine, if anything at all. I've got to slow down a bit. Italian/Irish blood though, not so easy... -_-

You're welcome anytime mate :)

On a recent wine acquisition tour, I came across a new place...

And found these beauties:

I'd be far more impressed if those clowns on MTV Cribs had a bottle of Penfolds rather than this crap:

Oh my my. Sorry to requote your pics, but I think they were necessary. If a $20 bottle of Penfolds tastes as good as it does, I can only imagine.

The clowns have money but no taste; sheeple that made it.

Tonight, Crown Royal, neat. I happened upon four free bottles. :drinks:

No need to apologise mate, we've since knocked off a delightful 389 and for the break up party a late 90's 707. The palettes of each are quite differentiated, very nice :)

I'm going slowly through a bottle of 1978 Napoleon brandy, fell into my lap and really delicious when warmed slowly over a glass of hot water.

A glass of Johnnie Walker on the rocks with a splash of water is good enough for me.

So long as it's Black Label. Apparently JW Black is the drink of choice of Saudi royalty and Saddam Hussein :)

If this doesn't work, just YouTube 'Christopher hitchens favorite drink', great little clip.

My first scotch/whiskey was a Johnnie Walker Red, and I don't think it tastes bad at all. So I'm going to stay away from Black and save myself some money until I start hating the Red :rolleyes:
