What are you drinking tonight?

[WelshBloke]

Blackberry flavoured whisky?!
I can hear a wailing and gnashing of teeth from up north and the sound of sharpening claymores!

Hot chocolate made with ceremonial grade cacao. I'm not sure which ceremonies we should be performing but it says "ceremonial grade" right on the package. Got some heavy cream to stir in as well as cinnamon stick and black pepper.

Revisited this bottle tonight as its Friday - do I get my credibility back?

A Danish friend sent me a bottle of that. It's fantastic in hot chocolate! Once my bottle's gone, I'm gonna try making my own with Tyrkisk Peber and vodka. That's where it originated from. It was a bar made concoction til Koskenkorva bottled it.

We recently visited Galena Illinois and while we were there did some tastings at a couple of the wineries.

Tonight's bottle is from Galena Cellars and it is their 2021 Chambourcin Reserve. It's a good bottle with hints of grapes and finishes with hints of smoke and it's really red.

FYI I am NOT the wine drinker in the family my wife is so my observations above may be biased.

We had a great dinner in Galena BITD. On our way to CheeseHead land to stay in a silo converted to a romantic suite at a BnB. Before enduring the impressive mindfuck that is... the house on the rock. Then MTBing cross country to an Apple orchard. We loved it there. I LOL'd when Red Letter Media started drinking New Glarus beer on set. There was no microbrewery there yet, but the bakery was chef's kiss. I have no doubt the wine from Galena is delictible too.

If your winters were not so brutal for a Floridian like myself, we'd be neighbors.

The beer is really good I take it?

Sounds like you had a great time. Do you remember were you stayed back then? We were at the DeSoto House and I'll be honest it was a trip. We had a great meal at Fried Green Tomatoes along Main Street.

It's been 30 years. I don't recall any names of businesses. We were there about this time of year. Beautiful rolling hills and 50s for highs during the days.

As to what we are drinking; My son likes Knob Creek so that's the meta right now.

A bottle of $7 Junmai Sake

Opened another bottle from Galena Cellars this afternoon. This one is their Petite Pearl.

This is a collaboration with the local Blaum Brothers bourbon distillery in Galena.

They aged a French-American style wine in bourbon barrels to balance the fruit and bring out a smooth finish with lingering bourbon notes.
