Today, in what has become almost a yearly ritual, my wife treated me to a birthday celebration at the Bar at Willett.  We visit Willett on a semi-regular basis as we enjoy the atmosphere, the friendly service, and of course, the refreshments.  Today my wife treated me to a couple of pours of 27 year old WFE, bottle 2784, 132.6 proof.  It was bottle number 5 out of a total of only 68 that survived those 27 years.  This bottle was actually selected by our server, Jason, at the request of my wife.  Jason did a great job with his selection.  The color was extremely dark, with outstanding flavors and finish.  Although very high proof, I did not add water to my pours.  It was that drinkable.  Here are a few photos:

Did you have the egg salad sandwich?

Not this time.  But I have in the past, and it is everything that folks say it is--easily the best egg salad sandwich I've ever had.  Their menu is always changing, but the egg salad sandwich is one of those staples that survives the test of time.

If WFE 27 is being poured I plan to have as many birthdays as I please.

That is a good question.  As I age, I don't like in general the idea of getting older, and the inevitable changes that you experience to your body and overall health, despite one's best efforts to counter-act those changes.  But the alternative to getting older is not my preferred choice at this point in time.  Maybe it just seems like a lot of birthdays to you guys who don't live near the Bar at Willett!!  But as long as I am able to get there, I can't think of a better place to celebrate than Willett.

It sure does make getting older easier to deal with!

Happy Birthday,

You are a bon vivant of the highest order.

And a wife that understands - priceless.

I am lucky in that my wife enjoys visiting Willett just as much as I do.

Next time you see me with the wife you need to convince her that this is the best birthday present she could get me.  I'll just stand there and play dumb.

Kevin, just give me the signal and I will try my best to get her to understand.
