first batch of mulled wine finished….hic

the wife and i debating whether we should open the bundaberg just now or leave it until tomorrow…..i know the answer 😈

EVERYTHING 😆

As it’s Christmas I’m tippling a bit of Rioja, and it’s bloody nice.

port. will be getting a little something for tomorrow. sloe gin saved for the day.

Champagne for breakfast, Oxford ales mixed case for daytime, Bruichladdich Waves for a nightcap. Hope I can shake the addiction by 9:00am 4th January :-O

I have a weakness for the Baileys. Done a litre already this week…

Currently……….. pints of sherry

“Way more than is probably good for me” would be my answer 😮

Marstons Owd Rodger….

Bedtimes 12 year Jamesons!!!

Crabbies

Trying to drown my cold with Teachers whisky

Ardbeg – blasda at the mo very nice

Rum & ginger ale right now, Jura superstition for when i get home at 2pm tomorrow, followed by a night at the pub!

Anti biotics 🙁

I has just drunken a very fine bottle of bordeaux. all is now well with the world.

I have a selection of beers from the Buxton brewery

Buxton spa
Moortop
Buxton blonde

Good times

Mmmm to the Bundaberg, finished mine the other day, and am holding off on opening the new one, so I’m on home mixed Moscow Mules at the mo, but now that somebody has said Baileys… nope I’ll stick to Moscow Mules tonight after all there is always tomorrow.

I will most probably be doing product evaluation on a case of “Russian Winter ” A 5.4% Stout that we brewed 2 weeks ago. Its abit freash but has been conditioning in a keg for a week, jus got to persuade it into bottles tomorrow

still deciding on the wine… I also have scotch (the aldi 18yo, an ardbeg and the ends of an 8yo bunnahabain) for the late night snifter…

Innis and Gunn

I’ll have those two thanks! The village wine merchant has just got in a LOT of Barolo. Never had it before but a complete convert – not cheap though so it’s got to be an occasional treat. And Innis & Gunn – I’ve a bottle to have with our beef stew this evening.

We’ve got a bottle of cheapish champagne for Bucks Fizz in the morning, a couple of very good 2001 Rioja Reservas and a 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape to see us and the inlaws through dinner and then I’ve got a selection of Adnams ales and a bottle of Rittenhouse 100% proof BIB rye for the evening.

My wife has decided that sherry is her xmas drink of choice this year. ick.

A couple of my best wines Ive been looking forward to:

2006 Bachey Legros Chassagne Montrachet
2007 Santenay Sous La Roche (Possibly a little early, but its one of a case which Im trickling out)
2005 Baumard Savenierres (A GREAT year for Loire)

We had a snowball for the first time yesterday. Retro! Tasted like refreshers.
