What's in your glass, tonight?
 

Whether it's with dinner or during a listening session, I'm sure that many of us enjoy a fine beverage of choice...wine, beer, or whisky, among others. I'm currently enjoying The Macallan (Sherry Oak) 18...how about you?

I could go for some egg nog...w/ or w/o...I just love the stuff! :yes:

Well, I guess I haven't quite gotten up to speed with the whole photo attachment thing. :D The bottle in the cabinet is 1.75 liter. :thumbsup:

Gentleman Jack on the rocks!:thumbsup:

Crown & Diet is my normal go-to. However last night was fresh margaritas, the lemon and lime trees are in full harvest right now! :D

2008 De Ponte Dundee Hills Pinot Noir :wine:

http://depontecellars.com/pdf/wines/...info_sheet.pdf

My favorite Oregon winery! :thumbsup:

I'm not familiar with De Ponte. I've had a couple of really good Pinots with great earthiness from Cristom...can't recall the exact vintage, but I'm pretty sure it was their Reserve Pinot from 7-9 years ago. Have you had them to compare?

If that's the same "E's Millionaire Margarita" that you posted the recipe for a while back, you had an awesome drink or two last night - those are fantastic! :thumbsup:

I have had Cristom's Pinot Noir before, but like you it has been several years ago and I can't remember well enough to say how they compare. Thanks for the reminder on that one though as I will have to remember to check it out again next time I am back over in the Willamette Valley.

I moved from the Portland area about 4 1/2 years ago and have taken a long break from Pinot Noir as that was all I was drinking for a while over there. I'm getting back into them again here lately and enjoying it! My other current favorite Oregon wineries are Archery Summit, Domaine Serene, King Estate, Maysara, and Dobbes Family Estate.

The one and only... Which I've taught the barkeeps at Diego/MGM Grand how to make, as well. That's where our little CES Meet & Greet will be held! :p

Thanks for the recs, I'll have to track one down. Of the ones you've mentioned, I see that PA carries Archery Summit, D. Serene, King Estate, and Dobbes Family, although most of the product is SLO (special liquor order), so it's not in the stores.

After 10 days in Mexico drinking Pacificos....

Glad to come home to a glass of Bulliet...

The only thing I can drink out of a can.

Tonight I finished off the bottle of De Ponte I opened yesterday with dinner - but started off the evening with some of R.L. Seale's 10 year rum :yes:

If you really want to have fun with DiSaronno make one of two things: Red Snapper (2part crown, 1part DiSaronno, cranberry to color/flavor shaken hard and served as a shot), or a Flaming Dr. Pepper.

Nice to see some other Scotch fans on here :buddy:

Now that I'm back in the land of retardation, I'm stuck drinking homemade wine and moonshine tonight...woohoo :banana:

Go easy, that stuff will cause Dain Bramage :D

From what I've gathered, thus far, V, you appear to be the (un)official AA bartender! :thumbsup: I've always enjoyed my DiSaronno neat, but I'm up for trying something new...what's a Flaming Dr. P?

Just a can of Squirt !!!

Fill a pint glass about half-way of a lighter beer (light to an amber works well, I like with Dos Equis amber), fill shot glass of 151 and DiSoronno, light shot, drop in beer, chug. It tastes like a Dr. Pepper.

(you can also do without lighting, still tastes like a Dr.P)

As part of our New Year's Eve festivities, we went through a few bottles of our 2006 Hospices de Beaune. This wine is from the annual Christie's charity auction for the 2006 vintage. A group of us bought a half-barrel at the auction, and we hired Jadot to tend and bottle it. We could have gotten a custom label, but the group didn't manage to agree on anything, so this is what we have. It was an enjoyable entree into 2011...

Jack Daniels Single Barrel.............................. :thumbsup:

At the moment, Compass Box Oak Cross.:thumbsup:

Here it was, a little earlier in its life.

Last night was the margaritas followed by dinner with a 1995 Diamond Creek Volcanic Hill cabernet.

Tonight is margaritas followed by a Peter Michael Ma Belle Fille chardonnay. Woot!

A New Year's Eve gift: 2006 Patz & Hall Napa Valley Chardonnay

Tanqueray Gin and Canada Dry Tonic with a wedge of lime drizzled over ice......Yummy:thumbsup:

The 4 wines of the past weekend... also got my buddy hooked into some great tequilas. Woot!

Last night we had a '98 Amarone - it was still a little young - with a veal, chestnut, and carrot ragu.

Before I was told by my doctor to stop sipping, these 2 top my list.

The Martell Cordon Bleu (Ivan, you should really try this) for function and dinner with friends and family while the Cointreau Liquer (always like the smell and taste of orange) for music pleasure in the dark! The DFS (Duty Free Shop) really give me a reason to always bring them home after each trip out! :D

Cheers! :banana:
