Grahame Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Cool cup Marc! I have a picture somewhere of me standing next to the real thing way back when though I don't recall a gift shop anywhere near there. Here Perhaps? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkpoint_Charlie_Museum . Visited it when the wall was up, and with Joanne, just as it was coming down. I recall how cold it was, and the incessant sound of people chipping at the wall with hammers. November '89. Wow, that long ago.

mikeymad Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Big Big glass of Macallan 12yo - trying to put a hurt on my 1.75L bottle. Mikey
tyrion Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Preparing for JP's arrival which should be between 3 and 4.
mikeymad Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) Afternoon white: Groth 2009 Sauvignon Blanc (napa) 14.5% (pretty hot for a SB) (going well with the 4yo Gouda) Edited March 19, 2011 by mikeymad
shellylh Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Spent the last three days in Tyler, TX, in a dry county (which means you can only buy beer/wine/liquor at a restaurant/bar) and the best thing that I could find at a restaurant or bar was Shiner Bock, Abita Amber or Glenlivet... so that is what I was stuck with. Isn't really so bad but next time I will stock the car up before taking the drive. Now I am sitting in the back yard, drinking a DFH 60 minute and enjoying life.
emelius Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 & that, my friends, is a pint of Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout...I was tempted to go for a 22oz, but the bartender looked experienced:)...&, judging from the price, they learned from their 22oz Backwoods Bastard mistake:)...
Augsburger Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Blackbird Vineyards Arise taking forever to open up. It's a 2008 and hasen't been open for too long so like Mikey's SB it is tasting kinda hot. Needs moar O2.
morphsci Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Posted March 19, 2011 Previously: 2 Noble Pils at Virgil's and 2 Sake at dinner. Now: a La Goudale
jvlgato Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 Had a flight of beers, each chosen to pair with the course of the meal. What a nice meal. I wish more places would do this!
Aura Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 Crap picture. It's fucking delicious. Earlier - Founder's Imperial Stout.

Dusty Chalk Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 How was that Chocolate Oatmeal Stout? Me: don't know yet, but about to drink something. Probably the Le Terribleah.

shellylh Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 How do you like the Tom Basil Gimlet, Marc? Texas sized margarita 3oz Casa Noble tequila 2oz Cointreau 1oz lime juice Large squeeze of Agave syrup Everything is bigger and better in Texas (as long as you are not in a dry county).
