morphsci Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Posted June 3, 2011 ... buy one of each if the question is a "which should I buy" question. I like this answer the best.
shellylh Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 Question: Norton Reserva Malbec, 2007 or 2008? The one that I really liked was 2007 but I haven't tried the 2008 yet. I think the 2008 is supposed to be very good too. Also, like the Fizz and Romance Jim!
Voltron Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 Beautiful cocktail photos Jim. Stork Club Bijou, but with aquavit in place of gin
Dusty Chalk Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 the vintage really depends on the terroir and the grape. i'd rather drink a 2005 St. Emilion than a 2004 (though the 2004 is good).Right, but that requires familiarity with both vintages. If someone were to pipe up with familiarity with both vintages, that would overrule my advice. My advice is merely of the "in lieu of actual knowledge" variety. It's like those test questions: 10. a. b. c. d. The answer (at the time I was told) is b., because b. is the most common answer in a multiple choice type test. If there was an actual question, with actual answers, and you knew the answer, that would of course over-ride the b. rule.

Fitz Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 One More Compass Box before I get serious.... Mikey don't fuck around.
Fitz Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 It wasn't an order (read: mikey, that guy, he don't fuck around)
Dusty Chalk Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 Yeah, because the other way, there would be a comma after Mikey. Mikey -- indeed -- doesn't fuck around.
mikeymad Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 Sticking with OB drams tonight (original bottling) --> Macallan 18yo (1987) 43% --- still one of my all time favs (why I have a lot of them)
mikeymad Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 It wasn't an order (read: mikey, that guy, he don't fuck around) my bad - all good either way..
Fitz Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 At this point I'd just like to say thanks to whoever told me a while back to try Bluecoat gin, because it's quite nice, and was conveniently one of the least expensive gins in the store at $24 for a 750.
mikeymad Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 Peat and Sherry? - I say YES!! -> BenRiach 1986 23yo 56.1% cask 3182 bottle 55/314 - (bottled for PLOWED also known as the PlowedRiach)
Augsburger Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 Polished off the Tor Chardonnay as the sun was setting then opened up a 2007 LaJota Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. It is drinking nice but not as well as some other 2007 Cabs I have had in the last year. A little too tightly wound and slow out of the gate at this point but should open up and round out the rough edges in a few hours.
Fitz Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 Peat and Sherry? - I say YES!! Now that sounds interesting alright.
