VOB100 tonight.  Only one or two as we are debating on another house here in town to down-size into.

It is tuff looking at giving up about 1500 sq. ft.  A lot of this stuff has to go.  The lot is about 2 acres less also. 
There is a pool (much smaller, a plus), a spa and a shed (much smaller)

I guess that BP Blantons would have been a good choice too?  Yeah, Anwalt has the right idea.

I have only tried the Single Barrel. It's not my favorite. A few have suggested I try the Gold variety which is considered to be notably better.

It is amazingly better. It was surprising to me what a difference ten proof points (and perhaps some barrel picking) made. I like the SFTB even more.

Another Ole Faithful.

Here, here. A trusty stand by indeed. Great value for what you get at that price.

Some PVW15 in the glass tonight.  They came down 6k as soon as we started talking.  We are getting with our banker trying to make this work without trashing a retirement fund and getting killed on taxes.  Once we sell the existing, we will pay off the new one and have a nice profit left over.

They are not going to like our offer but see where they go.  Lots of contingencies, for them to address.

If all goes well, tomorrow we begin negotiations.

Just back from a quick biz trip, and going with Early Times BIB.  Going through this bottle and the previous ET BIB rather quickly.  It’s like WT 101 is to me, in that it has a lane it races in, and it just creams  it.  Not similar in taste to WT, but it’s similar in where it fits in my “what won’t fail me right now” category.

Before we bought our current home, we were looking at another property, making an offer.  When it came time for disclosure, it turns out there was a an old underground fuel oil tank on the property.  (There are potentially serious environmental issues with these, and the property owner is liable.)  The seller claimed "it's ok". (They had tried to keep it a secret as long as possible.)  I said, can you provide me with any paperwork that indicates that?  No answer, but assured me it's ok.  I came back with a real low ball offer, and said offer could go up with proof it's really ok.  Real estate agent came back from seller and looked like she saw a ghost, suggested we move on to other properties.

This evening is a favorite value pour: OGD 114.

 

This might be the definitive value pour availabe right now.

Purchased today and drinking tonight. Got it on sale for 10$ off, so why not. Iam not sure I would pay more than the sale price of it. But I do enjoy it.
