Here you go Bunky!

 

My son purchased a bottle of St. Germain , from France. He says it is made from the Elderberry plant. I am not much of a drinker but this stuff is delicious , he has a certain mixed drink he makes with it, but I like it just on ice.

 

Never saw him before, Bunky

 

So I totally blanked on this until I saw my friend put up a last minute reminder. His son's baseball team is doing a fundraiser. They are just outside of Louisville KY. The winner chooses ten bottles, second place is six, third is the remaining four bottles. Here's the list. In anticipation of me winning, what's should my selection be? Most likely, they'll show at my event next year or as trade for other items better suited between my event and someone else's. If anyone is interested, I can provide info on tickets ($20/1, $50/3, $100/7). I have no idea how many have been sold at this point. The ticket sales end tonight, raffle tomorrow.

Well if AI said that was the best order, it must be correct. No need to say any different.

 

lol.. it was a start…. I’m not a bourbon drinker so opinions from real people also matters.

 

I picked up a couple cans of local craft beer this weekend, big drinker here lol. It was very refreshing, I like a cold beer with some meals and when we have good weather. I probably don't drink more than 12 beers a year though.

 

My drinking season is winding down, as the weather turns I will be spending more time with outdoor activities.

 

Rob, do you like a cold beer on a hot summer day or after some outdoor work ?

Do you like wine ? I grew up in household where drinking wine was expected of you, but I never got into it much. I don't mind a glass of wine with an occasional meal , but I don't long for it

 

I very rarely have just one drink, generally I’ll have a couple of drinks when not much is going on and I’m just hanging out.
I like wine occasionally but didn’t grow up drinking it, my Father was more of a beer or hard liquor guy (although he didn’t drink frequently) and my Mom wasn’t much of a drinker at all.
