Have a great one Knuckles! Cheers!

Had to look up the Bawbag. Sorry about that, Squire, and I hope it does not set back BrewDoug's first releases too much!

Happy belated Brian! I just saw this and hope you had a good one. Cheers!

Marc is quite parallel. Jim's whiskey skin opened part 2 of this thread on January 2, 2011. Nicely done.

Speaking of x2, I just made another B&R on the rocks. Maybe it is a typo or your hatred of Fernet, Jim, but my recipe said equal parts across the board. I actually think it is one of the nicer Fernet recipes, and coincidentally I made one for Claire tonight.

Joining the Bonal & Rye party, Napoleon style!

Engage Nitro-Visla! Great name, Al, just like yours!

Glad you are enjoying your SF hipster treats and the amazing tunes of the SF Jazz high school all stars, Doug! Happy New Year!

I love drinks with rye in them. Yummy. Greg, I got the Domaine Lancelot-Royer Cuvee de Chevaliers champagne from my wine dealer friend. Here is a link from the importer: http://www.northberkeleyimports.com/Domaine-Lancelot-Royer-V56.aspx

That is one awesome surf & turf Mike! Nice butt, fo sho, Ed.

Definitely in favor of the black bar.

Cheers Mikey! I hope you are having a good day after the epic whisk(e)y NYE! Tim is a nice hubby for sure. Cheers to the Texans.

I didn't really get to celebrate the new year yesterday (and wasn't even with Claire) so we are having a lovely bottle of grower champagne tonight. We also had some black eyed pea soup for good luck. Happy and healthy 2012 everybody!

You're still alive Mikey?! Happy New Year everybody!

Mikey is a New Year's BEAST! Mike Sr. Is a mix master! I love the rest of you even with your limitations! . Happy New Year's everybody!

Happy new year birthday Jacob! Many happy returns of the day. Hope you're having fun. Cheers!

MN is Brandy based and much better in other drinks. I like Jim's concoction. Now I'm having my third Lagunitas IPA at the Fillmore before Trombone Shorty. Cheers on new years eve eve!

I forgot to mention that she's gorgeous! So sublime and healthy looking. Great job so far!

WooHoo! I was having a Navy Grog at Smuggler's Cove and toasting you all just a little while ago! Welcome to the world Esmé! Cheers mom and dad!

The Staxuza

Like the card says, I hope you have a day filled will bliss Andy! Cheers!

Have a great one, Chris! I hope you get lots of platinum ingots and the UPS guy minds his own beeswax!!!1! Cheers!

Me too, and me too!

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."
