Cold afternoon, so this Chai Latte with Rice milk is warming me up a treat.

'I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth.' ~ Emily Bronte

Now there's a drink you don't see mentioned much lately!  Very retro... :D

Sure they take forever to make, but it's all worth it 'cause it's a perfect summer drink!!!!

An interesting blurb on the local Wine Growers website:

By 2009 Americans will consume more wine than the Italians!
By 2010 Americans will consume more wine than the French!

Zum Wohl!!  ;D

Family SonicMan and Family Rock are certainly contributing heavily to those statistics. Prost!

Lis & Sarge - I've been reading these statistics since the late '60s & never thought that we would be approaching the Italians & French (and a number of others, including the Spaniards!) - but, hey - I'm drinking some wine RIGHT NOW - in fact, coincidence for Lis, Ch. Ste. Michelle Chardonnay from Indian Wells - Susan made a wonderful Thai grilled scallop dish w/ bok choy - NOT a bad combo IMHO!  ;D

We Washingtonians are very proud of our Ste. Michelle ever since they won the gold medal for one of their Beaujolais and the French didn't get any medal that year!

So what did I open today? A bottle of Malbec from Argentina: Conquista. It's all your fault, Dear Sonicman, telling us about exploring wines from different countries, thought I try it too. Had some French yesterday, not too tempting, but this Argentinian red is beautiful. Not quite as dry as my favourite Kiona Lemberger, a bit more mellow, gentle to the palate and flowery. And this is a 2006! Wonder what the older ones taste, but that's the best my store can come up with.  :(

Lis - glad that you're trying those Malbecs from Argentia - just can't beat the price/quality ratio even for the larger volume brands that seem to ship to many areas in the USA - in North Carolina, we just get the largest importers, e.g. Norton, Catena, Terrazas, and a few others, but even some of their best offerings here often get 90 or so ratings in Wine Spectator, and are typically less than $20 a bottle - can't find Bordeaux or CA Cabs of that quality for the price - enjoy & let us know if you discover some 'wine jewels' from South America!  Dave  :D

Right now, a good shot of Bourbon -- Pappy Van Winkle 15 yrs old -- 107 proof with a little water to open it up.  This will take the edge off anything.

Tonight, my French girl Stella will be visiting.

No wonder Bunny is offline, probably sleeping a few sips of that rocket fuel off.

I guess you're supposed to eat lobster with it, but I don't have a lobster, so, oh well...

I have had probably two beers in the past 15 years.  However, the other night I had a Samuel Adams Boston Lager® and really enjoyed it.

The rye they make is awesome too.  I still get carded pretty regularly at 35 but 10 years ago there was no getting around it. I went into the local high end liquor store to pick up a bottle of the Old Rip Van Winkle Rye that I'd been reading about.  I placed it on the counter the guy looked at me, looked at what I was buying looked at me again paused, then said that I should be carded but he couldn't imagine anyone under 21 buying a bottle of that stuff.
