Aperol spritz is delightful.  :mmm:  More authentic not to use real champagne anyways.  :P

Yeah actually when I was visiting my mother for mother's day she made a drink that she'd had which was a mix of aperol, st. germain and prosecco. She had a bottle of Veuve Clicquot that she got as a gift, and hates, lying around so we used that. :D

I've had a couple good glasses of inexpensive sherry lately.  What kind did you get?

It's a bottle of amontillado. I realized that though I've had sherry before, I never know any of the type names so I just picked the one that reminded me of reading Poe in school. :blush:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Silver Patron.  Same answer to the "What will you not be drinking ever again (once you finish the bottle)" question.  Usually you have to wait until morning for a hangover, but not with this.

Went to a friend's birthday dinner last night. In addition to the food, had: 3 glasses of a really good verdicchio, at least 3 glasses of a good cab, a gin & soda, an old fashioned, a shot of jager, and...something else probably? I had fun. SFG didn't.

Baltika Porter.  Been ages since I had it.  Seems light compared to the last porter I had, but it's a classic.

Duvel.  In a Duvel tulip glass.

I've been drinking it since the 90s.

Interesting.  I find their 0.5 liter bottles highly annoying, as they're too tall to fit on the fridge shelf.

Adirondack Brewery's Superdort
Ithaca Beer Co.'s Flower Power cask aged with additional citra hops http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/651/6076

All at one of my favorite local beer bar's 5th Anniversary Party event.  I'm debating leaving Saranac/F.X. Matt and going to work for Ithaca.  I am: unsure.

Yeah, I need to rearrange our fridge shelving to better accommodate my odd-sized beer bottles.
