Last Minute Sangria: Random, Badass Staples Helpful
Garbage in, garbage out, right? Well… Often times I’m opening a bottle of wine in the beginning of the week to review or sample for a client. By the time I want to drink wine, like tonight, that bottle is shite. This bottle was a very lovely tart, surly thing to begin with; so past […]

I was a hobbit in a past life, I know it. If you can picture it in a tankard, I probably love it. Belgians, strong ales, and especially barleywine. Ages quicker and better than wine the same price, I can’t understand why it’s not the biggest thing since sliced bread.

Washington’s 2nd Booze Maker: Pacific Distillers
In a small warehouse space barely big enough to detail an automobile, somebody’s making some domestic gin of great intrigue and chasing it with plans for an absinthe. I like this new trend. I guess Washington state finally figured that they have so many meth labs to deal with, what harm could come from some […]

Make YOur Own Egg Nog
That stuff in the grocery store is…is…sacrilege. Don’t be a pussy. Like that shrink wrapped pork shop, you shouldn’t drink egg nog if you don’t no where it comes from…(lots of egg yolks involved)
