I hear that a solid 'dash' of the right gin in green tea makes and excellent Hot Toddy.
Wish someone would try it so they could tell me if myths are true.
Cheers

Well, I guess every night is Friday night for a while, eh?
Enjoying a glass of Old Vine Fosch [Zinfandel] from Quail's Gate in B.C. It's actually a pretty good wine for north of the 49th.
Note: Niagara is actually a long way south of the 49th, and virtually none of it is any good, with very few exceptions.

my farmer friends hosted a
soltice celebration tonight.
we are letting the kids run wild
with the domestic game,
and one of the dads notices a
growth dangling from one large sow.
so we consult over guniess,
and decide that we should cut the extra-apendage
off with a knife.
one dad holds the pigs hind legs,
and another goes at the growth with a leatherman.
the pig is singing holiday at top notch scream.
the appendage drops, blood is squirting everywhere,
the pig is pissed and thrashing about.
big daddy brad (the fukin mate of the herd) comes
over and done eats the grounded growth.
one dad wrestles the pig down
i dive in and throw my shirt against the wound
so's to help clot the flow,
she is screamin like we're killing her,
another dad is dousing me and the pig in iodine,
she done kicks me in the knee with her hoof.
i run crooked legged down to the lower pasture
and find an ancient coors bottle, uncorked.
so i grab a branch, flip the cap and tilt it back.
its funky and flat and all the dads are wayward though
none more than the unsewn sow. and she goes to
finding good grain, and we migrate back to the camp fire,
with a few more tales 'neath our skin.

I liked the Gnarlyhead Old Vine Zin. Not a pinor noir but I thought it to be really good for the price. Don't remember how much but less than $20. She might be into a malbec of some sort as well?
This is a cool book for finding great wines under $15 and a good reference that cuts through all the pretentious wine snob BS.

Whats the deal with these aireator gizmo's you put on the end of the bottle? hype or legit?
They are legit but not necessary. Big glasses, swirling and time will do the trick. They are nice if you have a wine you want to drink right away that could use time in the cellar. Older wines could die faster than you want with those gizmos. Just my 2 cents.

OK. Worst case of drunk dialing that I ever pulled off was up in ANWR one summer. I had this tiny Mountain Hardware one man bivy tent. You couldn't sit up, and even rolling over was a pain.
So it snowed and blew like crazy for three days. I just sat it out.
Now this one year, my wife made me cary a sat phone and a couple of batteries. It was just dead weight.
I got so bored in the tent after a while that I got into the med kit and partied on the painkillers. Then I dialed up everyone who I had ever met in my life and called them from the North Slope. I was about 75 miles from the nearest town. Kaktovik to the East or Prudhoe Bay (Deadhorse) 75 miles to the west.
Since time of day is irrelevant up there in the summer, I woke people up and all kinds of stuff. Spent about 500 dollars in 12 hours. You can even dial information from a sat phone and hunt down old friends.
I am sure that I called Doug Robinson at least once. About all I could do was hold the phone up to the screaming wind hammering the tent and yell into the phone.
I thought people would dig a phone call from 70 degrees north, but I think I woke too many people up....

Well, we're just getting started up here in the Great White North, my son and a friend of his drinking, appropriately enough, Molson Canadians, eh?
So I show my son the first post on this thread to explain the Friday Night Posting While Drunk Post, and he looks at the second person and says, "Oh, it's Denise Cumshot."
Sorry, Princess of the El Cap Bridge, I couldn't help it - I laughed out loud!

So if you don't like Texans, do you call a Texorcist?
Q: What happens if you don't pay the exorcist?
A: You get repossessed.

I have to 2nd that Buffalo Trace. My fav.
Just got back from Yosemite. We went up there via Paso Robles, a great wine area.
Enjoyed the hot chocolate n peppermint schnapps at the Mtn Rm last night.
I'm letting the body go fallow tonight in prep for holiday guzzling the next two day.
Soloed some WI-zero today in Lee Vining. Fun!

BVD's post photo is in bad taste!
A little red wine, and a little Run & Tom & Jerry mix tonight.
