What's new

Whats in your glass tonight?

90+ Cellars Zinfandel. Yum. Hadn't tried it before but it got a score of 91 so I thought I'd try it.
 
Black as ink, with glints of royal purple and gold, it opens with intense, penetrating aromas of dark chocolate, blackberry preserves and cassis, caramel, and a smoky, peppery note. Decadently rich, with 10% residual sugar, and heady, with 19% alcohol, but so delicious. The silky, velvety texture is pure seduction. This has got to be one of the best California Ports on the market.
 
Iced tea because I'm Southern as hell (pun intended)
 
Oops!
Dr's orders - NO ALCOHOL today. Check back tomorrow night.
I had the old, cloudy, stiff lens replaced in my left eye this morning with a nice, new, fresh synthetic one.
They did my right eye a month ago. Having one fixed, and one not fixed, has been a pain in the butttt.

The new lens even corrects my far vision so I can see at a distance without glasses for the first time since I was a sophomore in high school (1967 - Class of '69 Rules!).
I still need glasses for my near vision.

You're the Bionic Man now! Cooooooool! :)

Last night it was some Slovenian wine for dinner (can't remember which one. It was white.) Then I met a friend who was in town for the weekend and I had a margarita. A proper one. None of that frozen or pre-mix crap. On the rocks with salt.

I picked up a Rodney Strong Port. It was only available at the winery. Incredible stuff.
 
Ice water for me tonoght. I feel a good old fashioned cold starting, sneezing, with sore throat and upper chest.

God, I hope it's not the 'bola!
 
I think when I get home from this very long Monday, I'll be cracking open a bottle of Sam Adams Oktoberfest.
 
Last night was a shot of Bulleit Bourbon on ice with a touch of Diet 7.
 
Presently iced rooibos tea. This afternoon shared some 14 Hands Red Blend. Smooth and juicy.
