Voltron

I don't know much about port, but you should consider when those more recent vintages are supposed to be at their "peak" because K&L indicates some of them are "best after 2020" or "projected to mature between 2030-2055."

I only drank half the bottle so I am hoping it lasts until tonight with a cork in it. It is very dark, much moreso than I expected for some reason, and highly carbonated. Very effervescent and therefore lighter than it looks. It is malty and a bit sweet, but less spicy/holiday flavored than I expected. It's nice overall, and I am curious how it will be tonight.

Have a great one Steve! I'm only a few months behind you to 49. Tell me how it is sometime! Cheers!

Earlier I made some Eva Perons and now I am having a Norwegian Winter Ale

I don't care what Carl Seibert says!

He should have had a nail gun accident on the way out.

I think that is true, Shelly, but I think those pics were from the weekend with his family down south.

Eat Me cookies? Don't follow any rabbits down any holes. Guzzi In Wonderland might be too much for us to handle.

I'm not in a hotel like Jim, but I thought I would have a Sierra Celebration and join in belatedly with Mikey's local brew night.

35oz!? Nice Mikey!

An Aquavit Vesper, which I will call the Aquavesper.

A short but stout Vesper. Ahh, that's it.

Then why don't you marry him?

Apparently it is a trend... http://celebs.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474980952278

Nice looking falafel, Johnny Two-Times!

Keep up the good work, Mike. Claire made some Wake Up Dead Ginger Bread so I am having the rest of the bottle.

I've been waiting a couple weeks to make this one and christmas day seemed appropriate. Ric would quite like it to top off his diabetic delight today. You'll Shoot Your Eye Out! 2oz aged rum .5oz Becherovka .5oz Benedictine .25oz cinnamon syrup 3 dashes orange bitters Orange peel garnish (in the shape of a floating eye)

Prime rib roast, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, green beans and mushrooms, salad and a Bouche de Noel cake. I forgot to bring the HP Sauce though!

Well said. Merry Christmas 'Casers!

I made you a cake, but that red-nosed bastard wrecked it. Happy birthday and merry christmas! Cheers!
