Had some Amalaya Malbec with dinner (Rum and Coke short ribs). I liked the Malbec but preferred my husband's Cabernet Sauvignon (Barnard Griffin) which was excellent - I am going to buy a few bottles next time I am out.
Greg, I'll keep an eye out for the Pedras.
Used the Tom Bihn Aeronaut and ID on my trip last week (6 nights/7 days/3 locations). It was just about the perfect size for that trip (and kept me from overpacking). I think the Tri-Star would have been much too small. Also, the ID is an awesome shoulder bag and holds a ton of goodies!
Nice looking drink Jim.
I am still working my way through Anvil.
Singapore Sling
I used the recipe from "Vintage"
2 oz Bluecoat gin
3/4 oz Cherry Heering
2 tsp Benedictine
2 tsp Cointreau
2 oz pineapple juice
3/4 oz lime juice
2 dashes of grenadine
1 dash Angostura bitters
Splash of soda water on top
The drink is pretty good but nowhere near as good as a fruity drink like the Zombie.
Spending a few days with family in the cabin in the mountains in So Cal. Right now hubby and I are fishing at the lake. It is nice to get a little R&R.
I think the 30 will barely fit a 13" but definitely not a 15". A laptop/camera Retrospective would be awesome. Although I am not sure that I would want to carry a laptop and DSLR in a shoulder bag.
New smaller version of the Think Tank Retrospective bags. I think I am going to get one and sell my Crumpler 5mdh. I love the Retrospective 10.
