He said he was not a fan of Old Grandad and offered me 6 of the BiB and 3 of the 80. I told him it was too much and convinced him to try them again because it had been years since he tried them. I went home empty-handed. We drank our fill but yes I did cry a little when I got home. The pic was after quite a few comparisons so, I apologize. It might be in my head but the screw caps just taste better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted October 7, 2023 Author Share Posted October 7, 2023 Decided to go with the Solo rather than the outdoor fireplace for first fire of the season. Enjoying it with a hefty pour of a locals Yellowstone pick. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry in WashDC Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 English murder mysteries on PBS are fun to watch while sipping on VOB 100. Should have brought a glass as drinking from the bottle doesn’t quite fit with English mysteries. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedelstaedt Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Gonna try climbing a mini Weller ladder tonight, with assistance from my brother (he gave me samples of CYPB & WSiB). I don’t have an OWA and WFP open , therefore a mini. My first go at a Weller ladder, we will see how it goes. Opening up with WSR, as time goes by, I become more of a fan. It just is a comfortable pour. Not that complex, so no expectations, but it just tastes nice. Cheers 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I’ve tried describing Weller SR a few times over the years. I probably only did a so-so job. In the simplest of terms you said; “but it just tastes nice.” You freakin’ nailed it! Nicely done sir. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Two big sports victories by my favorite teams today. Sooners in the annual clash against the Longhorns. Then followed up by an Astros win in game 1 of the ALDS. I'm having a celebratory pour for both. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it's "all the way through", but walking has been rough, never mind kicking people and whatnot. I may pick your brain on rehabbing it, haven't decided on surgery yet. Stupid aging.

Gotta have one heckava grill to get it hot enough. I stick a cast iron frying pan in the oven at 500 for 20+ minutes then put it straight over a gas fire. Great for those steaks and smashburgers. But creates a lot of smoke, Wifey does not allow it indoors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the much-maligned Apprentice Batch deserve the bad rap? The only one I had from 2023 is the KY Tea. I have a lot of the older/earlier editions but heard this was very similar in profile. I would agree. Nose is currant, toffee and leather. Palate is currant, nutmeg, leather and oak. Finish is oak fanning to currants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markandrex Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 We worked in the yard all day yesterday so today is for relaxing. It is a sunny and warm Fall afternoon, so KC9 sours on the deck is just what I needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share Posted October 8, 2023 Cheers to you Sooner guys. I watched a good part of that game. Really entertaining, and what a spectacle that rivalry is with Texas. I love college football, and while OU and TU will be extremely worthy programs to join the SEC next year, I hate what is happening with teams being lured into other conferences like that. USC and Oregon et al, going to the Big 10? Ugh…. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
