Nice. It's cold and rainy here so I'd normally go for something similar, but I also know that brown liquors will trigger a migraine at times, and the weather plus the stress of a long day tomorrow will surely prime the migraine triggers.
And so it's clear for me tonight. Bombay Sapphire and seltzer with lime. More of a summer drink but I'm out of vodka.
terri, I'm totally envious of that Chateauneuf-du-Pape! We had nice red wine for dinner also - a Slovenian wine called Vinakoper Capris (Refosk is the grape). My boyfriend's father imports wine. Yeah, I hit the jackpot
Now I've got a finger of an after-dinner New York buckwheat whiskey.
