The sixth annual Blog Birthday Bash

Posted on 8 August 2016 by

This here blog has been around for six years already. The actual date was August third, but that passed rather eventless. However, last Saturday was the annual barbecue-and-booze celebration. I made the fairly predictable huge hunks of pork again, although … Continue reading →

Armagnac: Baron Gaston Legrand, 1995, 40% (and a wrap up)

Posted on 27 January 2016 by

Armagnac: Saint Christeau 1990 & Tariquet Blanche

Posted on 24 January 2016 by

Another Saint Christeau Armagnac, and a weird one. The Tariquet Blanche is not just 100% folle blanche (which is the grape), it is also a blanche Armagnac. Which is just a fancy way of saying they didn’t bother to age … Continue reading →

Armagnac: Saint Christeau 1940 & 1987

Armagnac: Two Armagnacs from Chateau Laballe (Réserve and 2006 vintage

Posted on 21 January 2016 by

When I started going through the Armagnacs from that recent bottle-share, I decided to start with the more recent distillates. On the other hand, I couldn’t wait to dive into the old ones too. What I did was make a line-up … Continue reading →

Armagnac bottle share: Saint Christeau from Distillerie Gilbert Miclo

Posted on 3 January 2016 by

So, while we’re at it, I was talking about getting interested in other boozes, like Armagnac and Sake. I have yet to get into the Sake shtick, but I am following through with that Armagnac bottle share. I know of a … Continue reading →
