Hello?
Are we searching for grape aficionados here?
I believe this started as a grain thread....
That was at least two days ago.

Negatory.
It was definitely a grape thread. Pinot noir if I remember correctly.
The details are somewhat hazy but.
totally in spite of rockhead, we only have good whisky; we have George Dickel and for Bourbon we have Makers Mark. We have several wines (a few white but mostly reds) we might (depending on the company have some really good sparkling wine)
ummmmm....
I been promised some champagne, sir. (the lady rambles late at night....)
Got a friend what works security fer them Mark guys...
Grape is good for the ladies and Aussies...

You have George Dickel and you didn't tell ME??
Long time friend who died in the early nineties, the fellow who was my hub's mentor on literature and politics and I, being between in years, held my own court (I remember arguing with him about postmodernism and being totally wrong, as I found out later, but louder)... he, the guy who pretty much taught us about food and its wonders..
had a stocked bar, perhaps as a matter of self-in-place, except there was no crappo in his bar, just the best. Stuff most folks haven't heard of much less afford a small glass of, certainly including husband and me. He was not actually rich, a professor with no other income, but that welcoming den mattered to him. No, he wasn't an alky, but he did partake.
Anyway, he had a little tasting for bourbon lovers, including George Dickel.

CRAP!
Am very drunk right now. I think I might be sick on my wife.
Well - I'm sober - and you're still crapping on!
Debacle:
osso, you've got me all reminiscent (and I haven't even been drinking). Had a boss years ago (the best boss ever and sadly no longer with us) who introduced me to
Laphroaig. In addition to his day-to-day business (I was his "office manager" aka only full time employee) he wrote articles for various periodicals and he was ALWAYS behind schedule. In the days before computers (I had an IBM Selectric) he would rush in with printer's proofs covered in scrawl and beg me to send them out by Purolator fully retyped in a matter of hours. Somehow I managed and the day would always end with him skulking in to my office with an inch of Laphroaig in a china tea cup. I never figured out where he kept his stash (I looked). This was back in the day when you couldn't find it in Toronto -- he brought it back on trips to NYC. A big treat.
They were probably cousins... (that's how I learned about Laphroig too.) To round this out, I bought Dys some. He hated it...
Hmmm...it's probably still hanging around then. Next time I visit...
Oh, so now we're on to single malts? I'm sure I saw a Sublime sighting here tonight.
Mmmmmmmnnnn... scotch
Just found a great Islay malt, Caol Ila.
Haven't tried it for desert yet.

2006 Clair Valley (watervale) reisling.
The first glass was quite yummy.
