I've always heard that the ideal natural womans breast should fit perfectly into a champagne glass, not sure what kind of glass that is.

People forget that before fake boobs became the norm, someone like Cindy Crawford was considered to have large breasts.

My Greek friend gave me this. Too sweet to drink much of it. But an interesting wine. Tastes a bit like a porto, but not. Looks like Brandy, but it isn't. I guess it's one of the oldest brands and styles of wine in the world.

I know that there are a few Stone fans on the board; if you live in Germany, get excited. They're expanding. They are also running a nice kickstarter-like campaign for some exclusive collaboration brews. Here the campaign link, if you're interested:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ston ... ry-brewing

And a short little video with one of the founders talking about the campaign and upcoming projects.

I know there are at least a couple Bruery fans on the site. The Stone campaign just released pre-orders for a collaboration with Bruery this morning. It appears around 50% sold out already, so if you're interested visit the link in the post above and support the campaign before it's too late.

I did BrewDogs, Lost Abbey, Bruery, Alesmith, and the Dayman DIPA. Maybe one other, too many to remember. And Too expensive, but I know I'll be happy when they roll out.

Edit: and wootstout, even though this year's 2.0 is far less than stellar.

Oh boy, I just got home from a long car ride and cracked open an all-in-one wine in a (plastic) glass. :lol: I had a couple because they were left by my sister in law after a BYOB no-glass yacht trip.

This thing is pretty neat/hilarious. My sister in law is a great lady.

In case you can't tell, it's got a resealable screw-on plastic lid. It's 100% recyclable.

I've never seen the all-in-one plastic wine goblet before - I like it! I could easily fit a couple of those in my handbag for picnics. :lol:
We get Fetzer wines here, but maybe those cups are in the US only.

Never fear, when the capitalists and ideologues dissolve our borders, you and I will be canoodling under the stars in the great NAFTA Union with all of the plastic travel wines your heart desires.

I just got a bottle of Dalwhinnie 15.

I prefer the Islay malts (PEAT!), but Dalwhinnie's such an easy drinking whisky that it's a good one to have around for those who can't handle Laphroaig.

I'm glad you drink scotch now, though just drinking Islay is a bit odd. Have you ever had German smoked beer (Rauchbier)? You might be into it.

My favorite Islay is still Lagavulin 16 (or up), though you'll be pleased to hear that Laphroaig 18 is what I've got on hand at the moment.

Speaking of peat, today I got some Sneaky Pete glass flasks.
Image
Each holds about 2.5 servings of...cough medicine. Glass won't corrode or mess with the flavor, you can see what you've got left in there, AND you can see if you've properly cleaned the flask. Obviously there's a bit more bulk than a metal flask, but it's still quite small, and it's contoured in the manner you'd expect. I imagine it will be perfect for things like boat rides, movies and such. Nice little gift as well, and I'll give the first one away (filled with a French single malt called Brenne) when my friend visits from NYC this evening. I've never been a flask carrier, but I got a glass sample tube of scotch a couple of years ago. This glass tube holds exactly one drink (see below to get an idea), and it came in so handy a couple of times that I was inspired to procure something with a bit more capacity.
