Yeah Robin, make sure next time you're in, you grab some of that Chablis - it's SUPERB for the money!

Ok... Wines worth getting (labels I recognise representing wine worth drinking), from the first picture, top row:

And lastly, second picture, bottom row, last on the right:



Try and nab some of those next time you're in, along with the Chablis

Thanks Marco, will try and call in again soon.

Imperial gold.. I'll take a guess at Russian Vodka

Ding,ding,ding correct guess.
Russia can make both the best and worst vodka , this one is upper middle shelf but very hard to get here.I would have liked to gotten one with the cardboard tube.
I won't pay $200.00 for a bottle of the best vodka from anywhere. It's just going to end up in a bloody marry some morning.
I do believe in getting vodka from natural water sources and 5 to 6 times distilled . The taller the column still the better it tastes.
Cheap vodka hurts my brain.
BTW the cabinet still has room for 3 more bottles, I will have to be picky.

It was a limited run , Donald Trump doesn't drink ,he decided he never would after loosing a close family member at a young age to drinking.
Even when he orders a drink it's alcohol free. He doesn't mind if others have a sip but it is his personal vow in memory of his alcoholic brother Fred Trump JR. that died from drinking.
Donald came home from a movie to learn his brother died of a hart attack induced by drinking to much.It has upset Donald forever. Something people don't know about Donald is he really cares for people.
He believes familys are critical for children to grow up with a future, This is why he got so involved with prison reform, Drugs and drinking leads to broken family's. To many familys with Dad's locked up for small time drug offenses
while big time dealers walk free. Drugs are killing an entire generation here,I see it every day , needles, heroin,meth and crack,
Nice looking 15 year bottle ,enjoy Grant!

some of this... a bloody fruit fly kamakazied into it when i laid it down... the fool; it had its whole life ahead of itself

at least it died pissed.

[goraman]

Well Grant,
He went out in a good Dram.
An unpeated Islay , Bruichladdich The classic Laddie it was actually in a discount Grocery for $44.00 .
I'm betting it's young but I have to try it.
I know Grant has had this or at least knows it's whole story.
Your thoughts Grant?

[struth]

Great price Jeff. It's about £43 here. An Islay distillery but no peat. Its profile changes by the batch tbh, but it should have a nice finish.
