Ah yes, yes, yes! Bartenders are great talkers and usually have great advice when it come to spirits, drinking or serving tips and, of course, recipes :)

I remember myself being a small kid and having an aunt giving me to sip her beer... it was a Corona beer and it was so bitter to my childish taste! Who would then imagine that I would end up loving dark beer, specially German brewed. Blonde and Amber are certainly the same kind, but different...

While I can name some nice places in San Francisco, not being physically in this bay city, I don't remember any bar or restaurant renowned for its wine chart. Probably this is because its building architecture is what appeals to me in this city, LOL

I was talking to a friend about how bars have changes; from intimate places, to nightlife venues, to whatever they are today. Each bar, in each city located in the different places around the world have "something" special for the visitor, whether the ambiance, the good service, the wine...

Some days back, I stopped by a fine liquor store and doing the math, it's nearly impossible to buy a good selection of good spirits for most of us, that oftentimes are living on a tight budget :confused:

I'm not really fan of flavored beer, because their taste usually reminds the that of the coolers, so popular a while back. In fact, I think that beers are much like fine spirits, their taste as they come from the brewer is what makes them better or worst. When a beer has add-on flavors, you...

Certainly Cuban cigars are the best of all, at least IMHO, I like Cohiba, but also Doble Corona and Montecristo.

Yes, I have tried Elijah Craig sometimes and it's really good for the price you pay for it, and a cheap alternative to those costly bourbon whiskeys we can find.

I have always liked Scotch whiskeys more than any other, being my favorite Grand Old Parr, a 12 years aged blended whiskey that incidentally is not longer distributed in the Great Britain nor Europe, as far as I learned not long ago. It's still available here, but not something I can afford on...

Oh, I missed this post. Obviously I might not afford to get this cognac, but precisely cognac is my favorite spirit among all. So sad of the limited quantity produced, and so sad for me to see other cognac houses with a background prestige are now in Japanese hands, like Courvoisier is now.

I loved Angus Steakhouse while being in London, but now back home, I have not yet selected a favorite restaurant. Not much time (nor large budget) for dining out on a regular basis like those days overseas, back in time.

The Eagles is one of my favorite bands of all times, and certainly the harmony in the Seven Bridges Road song is unique, not to mention J.D. Souther joined them in this recording. Talking about Eagles, I also like this song for the way the instruments were dubbed in stereo (in the vinyl version...

I have a friend who lives in Oklahoma; he continuously was talking about a bar in Route 66, precisely a theme bar related to the TV show of the 1960s by this name, but I can't remember exactly in which point of the highway or near location it is. Let me ask him next time he visits me, and I...

Agree with Destiny! Cigars are made of tobacco, and therefore have the same potential risk than smoking cigarettes, but how badly affect you depends on how frequently you smoke them. Here is an interesting reading about tobacco products and their negative effects...

The Crisp is a good one, but as noted on their website, Six Point has made hundred of different beers since 2004 to date, so selecting one is truly hard.
