Every time I drink this, I wonder if I will ever have something so special again. It was bottled in 1965. Some of the grapes for that brandy were picked before WWI, possibly before the turn of the 20th century. The warm, brown sugar, caramel nose, the ultra-smooth texture on my tongue, the feeling as it rolls down and warms my insides.

Being able to have a bottle of this whenever the whim hit...now that would be living like a King!

What, you're out of mead?

I picked up some Cox's Orange Pippins at the Evanston Farmer's Market today, they go great with Port. If it cools down this week I'll open an '83 Harveys or a '77 Warres, if not, I'll probably open a bottle of Malmsey.

I've been up to the Evanston market a couple times at Globe's suggestion. I saw the cheese stand, is it pretty good stuff? I wanted to try some, but didn't know if it'd be worth the somewhat steep price.

I just had a Baltika #9 beer, which is like a standard lager with a shot of vodka dumped in it - 9% alcohol. It looks like a standard lager and tastes like one until that grain alcohol burn hits the back of the throat. I might pick up more of it.

Actually, I have a bottle in my cellar. It's pretty cheap stuff, but keep one around as a novelty.

Sonoma-Cutrer Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2006.

One of my favorite chardonnays, with a balance of all the chard qualities: oak, fruit, butter. All represented, but no single one dominant.

Today/tonight was a mix. Did some tail gating at the University. First stop, wife's company tent. A couple of Coronas. Next stop, tent of a good friend. Some of the best fajitas I've had in a long time, including queso fresco that was in Mexico last night

He had a bottle of Glenmorangie Nectar D'or I had given him for his 40th early in the year. It was a huge hit (thanks Hunts) with everyone and I got the credit. A few Becks. Back over to the wife's company tent on the way out, a couple more Coronas.

Home, and diet lime coke with Wisers.

My ex told me to try it and although I HATE vodka...this is a drink I can sip on a nice summer night and enjoy.
