Enjoying a shot of value-priced brandy at the end of a what-a-day. It's exactly what I needed.

1. had one myself after coming home from a "Road Committee Meeting"
Having tea now though, before bedtime. Likely to make me get up in the night...

2. I actually like the value priced stuff
Edited on Fri Nov-16-07 03:49 AM by Capn Sunshine
The high end jazz has to much alcohol poof in the back of the mouth for me. I prefer the XO's that come out this time of year like Korbel. Nothing takes the edge off a harsh fall day than a stiff shot of brandy.

Got down to what, 78 today?

7. Korbel XO
is what I was drinking.

Hasn't it been gorgeous? California is expensive and insane (not to mention highly flammable), but I can swim outdoors at 5:30 am in November. I LOVE that.

5. Yes, it's hard to down kerosene faster than that :-)
:-)

I have friends in the Talisker fan club, and I like it all right, but give me brandy.

8. I agree! In fact,
I think those words should be immortalized on a t-shirt made just for me.
