What are you drinking?

Glenfiddich scotch, it is Saturday night!

Glenfiddich scotch, it is Saturday night! 

Aaaach......Scotland The Brave.... and all that

(Can't touch the stuff myself, gives me dreadful indigestion What a poor Scot I am )

Draft sake to accompany a hastily bought plate of sushis.

man we went through a lot of Georgian red wine last night, 8 or 10 bottles between 6 people, it was not cool seeing a £260 bill at the end. Those Georgians make some bloody good wine. I don't like to drink much these days but if I do it's usually some red. Starting to find most scotch whisky too sweet, not sure what it is but after a few shots I can't drink anymore and have this horrible sweetness in my mouth, maybe some sort of dysbiosis.

Having read about fans celebrating the anniversary of The Big Lebowski, a film I dearly love, I finally made, for the first time, a White Russian a few weeks ago....just to get into the Lebowski mood. Neither Mrs. Rock nor I were very impressed...good but not quite something we'd drink often. Mrs. Rock, recalling the Brandy Alexander excesses of our wild and abandoned youth, decided the problem with the drink was the vodka: she'd substitute brandy for vodka. I told her that drink was called a Dirty White Mother...a variation of the White Russian. Tonight we tried it...and, indeed, it is much more to our liking. I see wild times ahead

I don't normally drink coffee, but I used to get that specially ground for my french press when I worked next to a Starbucks. Never drank filter drip coffee again.

If you get your coffee from Starbucks and have them grind it for you, tell them to use No7 on their machine. It's a little thinner than their usual French Press grind, but yields a much more flavorful result.

I got a box of assorted Sam Adams beers (stout, porter, ale, lambic, and 2 lagers), and it reminds me why I haven't had any Sam Adams in years.  The balance of flavors seems to be too much on the sweet side.   (OK, "Cranberry Lambic" is right out, but I accept that as a holiday thing).  I prefer a better balance between bitter and malty flavors (on the other side, some beers can taste way too spicy, in some kind of hoppier-than-thou arms race.)  Though to be fair it may be because my fridge is too cold.  They do seem to improve somewhat if you let them warm up a little.  Also, the Boston Lager is OK.

Why the 'shocked face'?    Common combination around the world!

Yeah, the cranberry Iambic was nasty, ruined the economics of the $1/per beer price of the box price at Sam's.  They screwed up their last seasonal box with the Cherry Wheat

Still working on my Christmas Presents:

[toledobass]

One of my favorite bourbons and the scotch that got me into scotch!!!  Hope you're enjoying both!

I've had four days off the old gut rot, which is something of a record for me. But it's the weekend now. Yay! I've been out enjoying Berio's Sinfonia and Strauss's Alpine Symphony tonight, so the other half has stocked up the fridge with Polish beers for a laugh. Currently glugging Zywiec, which is very nice.

[jchen]

Hot dark chocolate. 

[Renfield]

Hot dark chocolate. 

With my throat like it is, that would be ideal. But since I've none in the house, I'll have to settle for tea, or (if I feel the situation is that bad), the dreaded chamomile, which, even though I love tea, is very far from being my favourite herb indeed...

[Brian]

White grape peach juice.

[Dundonnell]

Completely emotionally drained and shattered after overdosing on the last ten minutes of Mahler's Resurrection Symphony, I am sipping some vintage port to settle my emotions

[Sergeant Rock]

Earlier this evening, Riesling Spätlese, shared with Mrs. Rock: one bottle from the Mosel (a Graacher Himmelreich from Weingut Kerpen), one bottle from the Pfalz (an Ungsteiner Herrenberg from Weingut Pfeffingen). Right now, Baileys Irish Cream on the rocks

Hmm, caramel cream is more my style - pity it's only sold 'round Christmastime...
