wine & beer

Hello all, Hope most of you here love wine and some of you may be interested in preparing them in home. For wine lovers, here are some tips on how to store the prepared wine in a wine cellar ( http://www.lancastercustoms.com/blog/wine-cellar/tips-properly-storing-wine-cellar/ ). When I was a...

I'll start. Drank Heaven Hill vodka and Peak Raspberry Ice tea.

I'm a cider guy. I had Woodchuck Hard Apple cider "Amber" made from red apples.

Wherever he may be: Multnomah Whiskey Library, Portland, Oregon

Can anyone recommend the proper way to remove a wax seal from a bottle of spirits? Wax seals are becoming more common now that many legal jurisdictions have prohibited the use of lead. The seal is made from a hard wax. When cool it is brittle. When softened with heat it sticks like hot...

I guess it's because I'm a Wisconsonite, (or is it Wisconsonian? LOL) but I love beer. I talking real ale. As you may know, I'm primarily a pipe smoker, but I truly enjoy pairing blends with micro brews. I've also seen this done with cigars. In fact, the guys at pipesandcigars.com had a...

Tried it after lunch. Kinda like the cigar, good but not exceptional. Relatively smooth with a 6% alcohol content. Might be great after 5 or 6.;)

Was gifted a bottle from a coworker. Any good? DL

I am a long time consumer of cognac, I've paid top dollar for fine Cognac while eschewing the exorbitantly priced brand names. About ten years ago I switched to Armagnac because I found it more enjoyable and more competitively priced. Cognac had undergone a fashion trend towards lighter...

Sounds good.... Anybody? DL

Had my first this weekend. The flavor was great but the beer seemed to sit on my stomach pretty heavy. DL

Whooooo drunk

That time of year is finally here. Getting a little cool in the evenings. Definatley smoking weather. My favorite beer is out on store shelves. Been drinking a few Shiner Oktoberfests lately and really enjoying them. DL

proof. This review took a long time, didn't it? It's because the most profound thought I had upon first tasting this new bourbon release months ago, was its striking similarity to regular Knob Creek. And indeed, it is the same product, same age and formula, but bottled at 120 proof, and as a...

well friday night I had a weeee dram of Makers mark, some Gentilman jack & a sip or 2 of Rebel yell ........ it was the first bourbons & NON scotch I have had in a LONG time , all were smooth & went well with the cigars, BUT I miss the smoke & peat of the scotch..... I guess I never will be a...

This is the 4th Edition of this annual release, first debuted in 2007 with three different proof bottlings, of which I got to try two. The two of the 1st Edition which I got to try were quite special, and stand at Nos. 2 and 10 on the All-Time Bloofingtonian Top 25 of Bourbon. After throwing...

Also the new Top Ten Rye listing. If you're looking for tasty, affordable rye these days, in my opinion, one of your best searches and bang for the buck can be had with this annual release from The Antique Collection. The best bet would be the same collection's annual release of the Sazerac 18...

Okay, try saying that five times real fast. This exotic sounding, well aged, 138.9 proof bourbon didn't make Ol' Bloof's Top 25, and what's wrong with it? Well, let's go back a ways. This label was launched a few years ago, and I got an inside bottle of an early release from an . . ...

Back in 2001-2002 I was introduced to it and thought it was outstanding. Even though I am not a beer drinker, it had a great flavor. Then all of a sudden it was no longer available in cans. After the cans could not be found, the bottles disappeared. A few phone calls to regional distributors...
