Anderson Valley Brut

:::sigh:::

In honor of St Valentine’s Day, bubbly was in order. I was wandering down the wine aisle somewhere earlier in the week, and realized I hadn’t had a bottle of Roederer lately; a bottle obligingly hopped into the cart.

It was as good as I remembered. And, even better, it makes a superb Black Velvet, the best, actually, IMHO.

Jaysus Bless You, Arthur Guinness!

Day of mourning; put on the black, and draw a pint of the black: Arthur Guinness, founder of the Guinness brewery died today in 1803.

Truth In Advertising

Spotted on a Celtic (of course) list:

The presidents of Budweiser, Miller, and Guinness brewing companies all go to a bar for a drink after work. The president of Budweiser orders first. “I’ll take a Budweiser,” he tells the bartender. The bartender serves an ice-cold Bud from the tap.

The president of Miller orders next. He says to the bartender, “Make it a Miller”. And the bartender once again taps out an ice-cold brew, this time a Miller.

The president of Guinness then orders his drink. “I’ll have a big tall glass of ice water,” he tells the bartender. The other two men look at him. “Water???” one asks in disbelief.

The president of Guinness replies, “Yeah. If you guys aren’t drinking beer, then neither will I.”
