Decided to pick up some local brew in a can (Southern Star Buried Hatchet Stout). To my surprise, it was quite good!!! Glad to see more craft beer being produced in TX.

Fantastique!

Before I order some Griottines Morello Cherries (do I buy a lot and gift them at Christmas too)...might you please compare the Luxardo Maraschinos with them?

I find the Luxardo cherries "waxy" in texture, they have a nice flavor, and are not too sweet.

The Griottines are less sweet, a smoother, less plastic texture and the "syrup" is not as dense or sweet.

Thanks. They come in nice little gift jars too...we'll all have to try them!

BTW: Regarding Chartreuse...a French Master Chef told me yesterday about the existence of a 150 yr. old PURPLE. Anyone ever tried???

The Griottines remind me of eating cherry pie.

Quite a display of power tonight Mikey! The Aviation with lime instead of lemon is very nice.

Next up, a Lot B Old Fashioned to drown my sorrows over the Rangers coming back to win in the 9th. :(

And Griottines will be my next cherries because I don't like Luxardos.
