Rocky Patel “Decade” cigar with Appleton Estate tonight with the girl

What’s a good red wine to try? Nothing dry or to sweet and something with a good after taste..??

When I go into the liquor store and see so many different choices, I usually just decide to buy nothing. I’ve never really been much on wine but I’d like to try something good in the criteria I wrote above.

My two personal choices are Madera 5 year Bual and Sandeman's 10/20/30/ or 40 year ports. Both are considered to be dessert wines.

I've only been able to find the Bual at Total Wines over in Turkey Creek. That place is friggin amazing! They do have a humidor also, however, limited.

 

[Tin Man]

We’ll have to side bar on wines. Medium body dry reds that are softer on the palate include Merlot, Zinfandel, and Spanish Tempranillo.

Thanks malin, I’ll give Sandeman’s a try.

Is there something you’d recommend?

I have to ask, what jump badge is that? I used to know them all but I’ve forgotten most of the badges. I know it’s not a jump master but I can’t remember the jump wings with a shield.

 

[Gandalf]

pretty much look for any australian Shiraz, a good merlot or a cabernet savion. Berringer is a good one that is cheap.

these are good with "flavorful" cigars

Another day in the yard, another tintó veranó and a Arturo Fuentes Cazadores this afternoon.

 

[txbo]

Partagas and cheap Cabernet.

I’m on a binge. Yard work is prompting me to end my days with a libation and a cigar. This afternoon, it’s a Quorum Gordo and tintó veranó. With “short filler” budget cigars, I recommend using a punch (my “bullet” is my friend).

 

[Tin Man]

Another Gordo, this time with a little Nelson Brothers Tennessee whiskey.

 

[Regulator]

Today’s choice..

 

[Gandalf]

The last week. Some favorites and Laranaja, a very tasty new pick. Not as strong on the chocolate profile as a stick like the Pledge though still there more like milk chocolate but has cedar cinnamon and leather and a touch of citrus. Also decadent billows of smoke. Great construction.

The Laranja has my interest. Thanks. I’ll look for it.

This afternoon, after installing 70’ of fence screen and digging out volunteer poison ivy, I’m enjoying another Quorum Gordo with a bit of The Tyrconnell Irish Whiskey.

[malinoisvol]

Broke out a Padron and a glass of Sandeman's 30 Tawney Port.

 

[Tin Man]

Por Larrañaga toro and a wee dram of The Tyrconnell Irish whiskey
