Holy crap!We ordered a total of 6 bottles from the distributor, after this tasting at the wine dinner (where each participant might get a total of 2 full glasses
Yes. Tomorrow we are going to MSIL's and help her pull some old books out of her attic. Depending on when her meds are being delivered (she has to sign for them) we'll either bring her home with us and go to dinner at a place in VA that we haven't been to for a while or we'll go to one of the Irish pubs in Nap Town (Annapolis) or Charm City (Baltimore).
This hurricane, tropical storm or whatever it is, should be well in the rear view mirror by then! There's no beach time while these things are churning through.
I feel 2 large glasses of just about any kind of wine. Lightweight here!
Not really, I raise the specific gravity up to produce an estimated 15% ABV. After fermentation It's very dry, to much so for my taste. I generally post sweeten some before racking to produce an ABV in the 13-14% range, Still there's that little acidic bite from the alcohol, that offsets the added sweetness. Bad thing is it's very palatable so you can drink to much before you know it. Unless you knew it was fig wine you'd be hard pressed to know, because the fig flavor doesn't carry through, I'd say more of a merlot?
He spent four years as a Master at Arms (Navy LEO) on an aircraft carrier. He's well aware of the toxicity of the job. Probably why he became a bartender. He's looking at an unarmed security job in the are, which I think is selling himself short, but there you have it.
Tbh, that was the first thing that came to my mind, too...Took me a minute to figure out why it would be so bad to steer someone away from me and why my name was in all caps.
Look, I had a hard day and I'm a little broken right now!
In these parts, upper 90's, because yeah, it's Texas...In other news, Happy Friday, hosers!
Beautiful weather in these parts, and no rain in the forecast. Anyone doing anything interesting this weekend?
@snowbear : do you have a Plan B yet?
Happy Birthday, Bear!
Cool!!
Great place to hike, been there many times but not during this event. The basin trail from the state park to the top of flat iron is a must do for hikers.
