my favorite necklace... a gift from a dear and wonderful friend many years ago who made it for me.
the 1985 vintage Glenrothes was an *amazing* treat to taste at Reserve 101. Anyone finds a bottle you message me.... seriously.
Japanese Whisky, these in particular I believe are not yet available in the States.
A lovely evening of wine with friends. Thank you to John and Kerry for sharing these very special bottles with us!
The Spirits Confidential event was brilliant. A great atmosphere, wonderful people, and well organized.
A comfortable crowd- just right.
..and amazing cocktails made by Bobby "G" Gleason, with fresh ingredients naturally. One of my cocktails had a Laphroaig mist!
Mmm... Balvenie!
The Balvenie 40 is incredible. After one sip you don't want another for a minute or two, because it just keeps going and going.... lovely. Then that next sip is even better.
A beautiful evening at Kata Robata.
pork belly fat = happy
fois gras and unagi
bone marrow, I adore it.
A beautiful setting for the Torano event at Cigar Towne in Houston.
I was first introduced to Zepalta by a friend who was involved in making the wine and corking the bottle and just recently found another bottle. I adored the 2006 and am looking forward to enjoying the 2007.
