Re: What are you drinking?
The Apostole Mate is from Argentina and the Napue is from Findland. Had to order them through a UK liquor merchant and then pay $80.00 duty and taxes once they arrived. The Botantist and Hendricks were duty free coming home from work.
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

Re: What are you drinking?
I had a skinful of gin lastnight in a bar that was primarily a gin club in Warwick lastnight. The barman knew his stuff too. I usually just have lime or cucumber with the drink that I make at home, but he did a few variations: fresh ginger, vanilla paste and orange. Not in the same drink but in different types of gin. I will be going back there...

Re: What are you drinking?
I was on the dark ales last night, various milds, porter and stout. A salty caramel mild was my favourite

Shared a bottle of hot Glühwein with FiL while we were decorating our Christmas tree this afternoon, very nice - but about 25°C too warm in our lounge to enjoy it at its best.

Re: What are you drinking?
Just like the TV I'm showing a repeat tonight, Hortus gin, Schweppes tonic and at twist of orange peel.
Pretty good too.

Re: What are you drinking?
That's my annual wine treat for myself.
Nice mix of wines. For the first time I've bought a rosé and I've spent £30 on a red, but what the heck, it's the holidays.

Segla is expensive. Some of the older bottles cost a fortune.Kwacky wrote:

Re: What are you drinking?
I might put the Segla to one side. It's certainly a wine that'l improve with age.

Re: What are you drinking?
A couple of pints of Brains "kin ell" at lunch time, a rather good Italian Garda champagne a like, with lunch.
Just debating whether or not to walk to the pub or open a Faustino V11

Re: What are you drinking?
Arbikie gin - I cracked it open last night, Mrs Gee bought me a craft gin club membership as a Crimbo present.
