The Minsky Moment

I usually avoid doing "house" wines b/c I prefer variety, but I could not help plunging for a case of Quinta do Cardo Grande Escolha 2009 when it went on sale.
From Portugals, 70/30 mix of Touriga Nactional (port grape) and Tinto Roriz (aka Tempranillo)

In about an hour & a half I'll be at the tiny microbrewery near my house with a snifter of Imperial Coffee Stout.  There used to be no decent bars in my area, but this place finally started doing a Friday happy hour and their beer is damned good.  It's like the second coming of Three Floyds :)

After an early wake-up and some Mt. Carmel Winter Ale I'm ready for bed.  Unfortunately my kids aren't.

A fine selection of NOLA ales.  Started with Blonde, next going Brown, and finishing with Hopitoulas.

About to throw back some Laphroaig.
