Almost picked up up today. Decided to go with Jefferson's Chef's Collaboration instead. Never had this one. Might try some tonight. |

Back around 69 I inventoried a liquor store that the multi-millionaire owner was getting rid of. They held out a bottle of French wine from 1874, the most expensive bottle in the store. We sat around and the manager/sommelier and he served us all a bit. It was corked. Yes, old vintages must be re-corked. Hard to age something that old. I had a Jeroboam of "Cigare Volante" almost 18 years old and was devastated to discover it had turned. The cork failed to seal. A major disappointment! |

Now enjoying a ten year old Port made by the Quevedo Family in the Douro Valley region of northern Portugal. It is a Tawny Port. Could use more aging but enjoyable now.

Having some now. It's a blend of bourbon and rye. An actual collaboration between the blend and a chef. It's rye-forward. Pretty tasty, so far.

Chef's name is Edward Lee. Gotta look him up. I don't know what he does, or where he's from.

What makes a mix of bourbon and rye better than a straight bourbon with a hundred years of experience and a high rye mash bill? I'll take Old Granddad for $1000.

Last of the Angel's Envy. In the dark. Probably the best way to focus on it. You should probably buy another bottle, since you can. |

Apologies if it was here.) |

Quevedo Family Tawny Port following their Xisto Red Blend at dinner. Much of the same grape- Touriga Nacional. The Xisto blend has some other varietals. Not sure which, perhaps Tempranillo?
