Getting ready to crack open a Sam Adams / Dog Fish Head - Utopias Barrel Aged World Wide Stout! My mouth is salivating just looking at it. Clocking in at just over 15% or so. Get in my belly!
It was so good I had a second one!!! If you can get your hands on one, please try it! Do I dare say it is right up there with if not better than KBS... It is that good!
Some fine wine mostly from Burgundy, including one of my favorite Meursault.
That is a serious recommendation, not least because I am more than partial to KBS.
What a splendid selection; do enjoy.
Hmmm.
I do recall how introgued I was when I came across a Hungarian wine with the name "Bull's Blood" a couple of decades ago. And yes, it was rather inexpensive.
Naturally, I bought it, and served it with (what I thought was an appropriate match), a goulash meal.
The kindest (yet most accurate) description for this wine would be for e to call it "rough". But, yes, palatable.
Do enjoy, and let us know what you think of it.
Apart from the champagne - a beverage I have yet to acquire a taste for - I am consumed with envy - and yes, salivating - simply looking at (and admiring) your splendid collection.
Do enjoy.
Salut!
My Friday night tipple has taken the welcome form of a glass (or three) of Chianti, a red wine from northern Italy.
The first 2 bottles on the left on the picture above have been opened. Truly amazing wines, I’m flabbergasted.
I love the labeling on this!!! I would pick it up just for the labels lol! I mean it can't be "that" bad!
The champagne, you can keep and are more than welcome to it.
However, the Poligny-Montrachet is something else entirely: Now, that is a bottle I could happily greet warmly.
According to your tastes, surely you will enjoy this Chianti (Chianti is a wine made in Tuscany).
An excellent choice, and yes, you are more than correct, this splendid wine does indeed meet with my approval and my tastes.
Thanks for sharing this superb choice and I hope that you enjoyed it.
Some time ago the specialist wine and beer merchant where i sometimes go had West Vleteren 12 in stock, at 10 euro’s a bottle. My dad and me picked up a couple just for the experience and to compare it to Rochefort 12.
The West Vleteren was undeniably the better beer - just the right combo of alcoholic fumes, sweet notes, and nuttiness.

Another one id recommend is italian Amarone wine. You can get a bottle for 16 euro’s here. Is made with partially dried grapes, for very raisiny, figgy, plummy tastes. A big wine which is an experience.
Had the following offerings from Modern Times this past weekend:
Soft Swerve Stout line:
Fudgy Brownie Pretzel - Couldn't really taste the pretzel, but man-o-man the fudge was off the charts! Delicious in that respect.
Banana Coconut Sunday - Absolutely nailed this one. Yum!
And one of my favorites from them, which I have had on more than one occasion:
Black House: Coffee Roasty Stout. Delicious!!!

@rhett7660 those sound intriguing. I must admit I am sceptical becasue I ma rather used to bitter beers for the most part, even cherry lambic has a sour note (love it though). But if I ever see one of those in a local specialty shop I may try it.
I have been having to deal with more frequent alcohol induced headaches lately thus greatly limiting the scope of my consumption.
Can't stop myself from enjoying a nice glass of the Saint-Julien variety of Bordeaux anyways.
