Dusty Chalk Posted May 16, 2011 Report Posted May 16, 2011 Earlier @ Alembic: anchor brown & an 'orange & black', which was actually pretty good considering 1/2 ipa; tried Al's pale horse & vow of silence (cocktails), both of which were good, but the pale horse was superb Now: some malty dubbel @ Toronado Sent from mah Droid

shellylh Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 Air Mail, made with Smith and Cross. damn good. Yeah, that does sound good, damn good.
luvdunhill Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 Air Mail, made with Smith and Cross. damn good. I really like S&C. Try it in an old-fashioned, once you get used to it, it's a very complex rum and goes perfect here.
luvdunhill Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 Ok, I lied. After seeing that Marc already tried the HV I reverted to my original plan and made a top shelf Saratoga. i had been meaning to find a reason to open the Cocchi vermouth and wow is this good! I will sample the vermouth solo later but this is an excellent manhattan variation. The Saratoga 1 fl. oz. Rye Whiskey (Van Winkle Family Reserve) 1 fl. oz. VSOP Cognac (G-R XO brandy) 1 fl. oz. Sweet Vermouth (Cocchi Di Torino) 2-3 dashes Angostura Bitters (1 Angostura and 1 cherry) Stir all ingredients over ice. Strain into a cocktail glass. Oops, didn't realize the pic was awful. Sorry. Half a one of those!

grawk Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 Dan, is that the Casa Lapostolle? Upping your game eh what made you go Chilean? I need to try some more Chilean and Spanish reds, yummy. It is. We found a deal on that and bought out the store's stock. That was the last of it. Was a tasty syrah.

manaox2 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 I'm finishing drinking a G'KNIGHT. Its fitting.
Augsburger Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Finished off the LaJota Cabernet and since I read a nice article on Ports decided to crack open a Jecklin Port that was given to me three Easters ago----- Nice color, strange bouquet of tire and hubcaps. Not bad, sort of like Port with training wheels; nice starter on your way to a 2007 Dow or a 1994 Quinta do Noval.
