    Something to celebrate a big event...

    So the wife and I are expecting our first baby in June. I am looking to buy a bottle of something to celebrate the birth with some friends. Unfortunately, my preferences are so varied, I can't settle on anything. I love brandy/cognac, as much as I like rum, whiskey, bourbon etc. It doesn't...

    What Whiskey, Rum or Cognac are you drinking today.

    Drowning my sorrows at the Packer's loss in a glass of Doorly's XO rum.

    From what I have read, the oat version is being panned by reviewers.

    Anyone into mining?

    I have not done the panning, however i have plans to do so in the near future. Working in the mining industry, I am a natural rock hound. I have some good leads on some promising areas to prospect.

    Sauternes Anyone?

    Moscato is indeed good. I've been drinking this off and on, however, Sauternes has really piqued my interest. I've not had a chance to try Tokaji yet, though TW also carries a few of those.

    Whats in your glass right now?

    Doorly's XO is one of the best bargain rums out there. There aren't too many 6 year+ aged rums out there selling for about $15.00. I believe there are rums up to 12 years in the XO.

    Sauternes Anyone?

    I don't consider myself a wine drinker. I love my rum, brandy (eau-de vie's included), scotch, etc etc. Somehow, I ended up in the wine section of Total Wine today. I ended up buying a bottle of Chateau du Grand Carretey Sauternes 2008 vintage. At only $12 for a half bottle, I decided to...

    I tried the search function a few times and each time I get a "fatal error." Something is amiss.

    What beer did you drink today?

    I finished my last bottle of Kona Coffee, Macadameia, Coconut Porter (Stone, Maui Brewing Co, Ken Schmidt collaboration). Surprisingly, for sitting in the refrigerator for a year and a half, this bottle was still excellent. From what I read, it is supposed to be drank within a few months. Oh...

    2011 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

    It really depends on who entered the competition. If JW decided not to enter, they won't show up within the list of blended. Germain Robin makes some of the best American brandy, however, they are nowhere to be seen. E&J is though....unfortunately. This competition doesn't necessarily give...

    I've got the 8th release. Haven't opened it up yet though. Interesting to see TW carrying this.

    Prepaid debit card for travel abroad

    Generally when I travel abroad, I take 2 credit cards. I call the credit card companies prior to leaving to inform them of my travels so the accounts don't get flagged for suspicious activity. I prefer using credit cards as they are generally safer and it is a lot easier to dispute fraudulent...

    WI weather sucks.....

    I miss the nice summers in Wisconsin (few and far between). I lived way north by Lake Superior. Never failed though...just when you thought it was going to be nice, the weatherman would say "cooler by the lake." Living in Arizona now... you only have to put up with a few months of scorching...
