Last night at the neighbors:
Sushi
Sapporo Beers
Fetzer Gewurtztraminer

 

That is toooo sweet !!!!!! You have excellent taste in equipment ! I am humbled !

 

Jesus, nearly 11p.m. here and I'm still sitting on some work for university due on wednesday. I'm getting myself a dram o' Bruichladdich 3D-2

 

How'dya like it? I LOVE Traminer, I'm a sucker for these sweet, sugary wines! :eatdrink047

 

Fetzer is a California winery known for decent "inexpensive" wines.
I'm not a big fan of them but the GWurtz has received many accolades as of late.
I wouldnt call this offering a "sugary , sweet" one - more of an off-dry wine.
Paired very well with the spicy tuna sushi and I think would work with spicy Asian cuisines in general.

 

Ah, okay, thanks for educating me in this department!

The Traminer and the Gewürztraminer are also grown here in Austria and these variations are very sugary sweet - more like cocktail-wines.

 

Lyrt - I always look forward to seeing your pictures ! Thank you

 

Fetzer is a good daily bottle or two !

 

Hey thank you. The truth is right now I’m drinking some Tanqueray gin mixed with Noilly Prat dry vermouth and Schweppes.

 

Now that is a drink....:signs107

 

I wanted to make a martini but alas, no orange bitter and no olive here.

 

Had to relax some and I do that by either Cooking or baking.

This time Baked a Crumble Apple Pie.

 

To home:
Three Nuns baccy in my Mark Tinsky Custom Coral Ukulele


At Home:
cuppa fingers Old Grand Dad Bourbon

 

OK, I just drooled all over the keyboard. I'm not skilled at baking since I don't do it enough but that Crumble Apple Pie looks delicious. My family would love for me to attempt that recipe. YUM!

 

Valborsmässoafton

Today is the King of Sweden's birthday, and "Valborgsmässoafton"

A slap up meal;

Taters, onions and carrots ready to go in the oven, then to be served with a chunk of rare meat and a red wine sauce... Accompanying me through the cooking will be an APA (loads and loads of Amarillo hops) homebrew, served in my "NorthernBrewer.com" US pint glass.

I'm also working hard on a bottle of MASI Valpolicella! Yum!

And after the meal I intend to light up my Jeantet with a bowl of "Brobergs Jubileum".

This is a long weekend in Sweden, and it starts NOW! Have a good one you too!

 

Quelle surprise!

Great photo!

(The "Quelle surprise" was what I heard on the telly, by a female voice, as I opened this post... enhanced to the experience!)

I know you are a grown up person, but please take care with the absinthe!

 

Thank you! I’m still doing tests with my new lens and I’m really happy with it. By the way, absinthe is really not what rumours say. It’s certainly not more dangerous than say vodka. Or gin. Or vermouth. Damn, I want a martini.
