Anything by stone brewery. At the moment Xocoveza, it's a wonderful spiced winter stout.

Had to buy local tonight, so I went with Gentleman Jack. Tomorrow I'll hit the superstore and stock up on Plantation Rum and a good Scotch or Bourbon.

I was at Total Wine Friday to stock up for my Halloween Party and I was looking for my favorite vodka: XO. They didn't have it so I asked for their absolute "smoothest and best tasting vodka". This is what they recommended. And I can confirm... It is absolutely AMAZING!!! You don't think of vodka as a 'sipper' but this my friends is just that. Although I cut mine with Cranberry & Pineapple.

Learned of this at the Russian Vodka Room in Manhattan a handful of years ago. Been stocking it since. If you ever have the opportunity, go there, and pay no attention to the two huge dudes at the front door in leather coats and sunglasses. Order the frois gras plate while you are at it!

IsMcClellan 12 year good? Not a scotch drinker here, but willing to try it if it's worth it. Received it as a birthday gift

Saw an ad for this the other day and thought it might be tasty. Sauternes is a dessert wine, so it should be quite sweet.

Good Lord, man. That's just wrong.

I give my liver a break of a day or two each month. You know, just to be prudent.

Oh I could START drinking any time I want to

I just don't want to right now

Wait what????

See, a mere difference of opinion, and you have to label me with some button. Next you'll be labeling me for liking the Kings, when you KNOW deep inside they are better than the sharks. Pretty soon, if I don't e-watch games with you, and send e-Old Fashioneds your way, you sick Skunkwerks on me or something.


I *THOUGHT* this was a safe thread

Ohh bringing hockey in to it..you had to go there after the Sharks just got pummeled and lost the two before that to two weak teams. You had to go there. Low blow. Guess your on the wagon and hitting us drinkers down low. Mean side is coming out.

This calls for a drink. I was going to go dry tonight and save my drinking for tomorrow, but what the heck.
