Chateau Coucy (how do you prononce that one?) 2000 Montagne St-Emilion. After so many fruit forwards, this was subtle and pretty good. $11 at TJs.
I'd give it all up, for just a little bit more.

Reminds me of the bit in Goldfinger when Bond is trying to pronounce Ms. Galore's name.

Tonight I had Bonny Doon's Critique of Pure Riesling, with bouillabaisse, at Gabriella Cafe, so stopped and scored a bottle on the way home.

Very good, $9 a bottle. It doesn't have that cheap white wine taste at all.

Recent tipples:

--Original Sin Hard Cider. Lighter and less sweet than most run-of-the-mill ciders.

--Köstritzer Schwarzbier--a dark beer from Germany that claims to be a lager but looks like a stout. In taste/heaviness, it's somewhere between the two. I really liked this--smooth and not overly bitter.

I've been playing with herbs.

I recently had a fantastic Lavender "Martini" at the Ritz. The second one was much better with the request of less lavender syrup and a better dosage of fresh lemon juice. It was graced with a lavender sprig, sans flowers.

Yesterday I had Lavender Mojitos at Melt. Despite the lumps of flowers floating around the ice, it was refreshing.

I'm trying a Mayfair Cocktail as soon as I can pick up a bottle of Hendricks. It involves muddling cucumber, sugar and lemon with a salt and dried thyme rim.

I wish more Cleveland bars made Caipirinhas. <_<

My first bottle of some 2001 Brunellos I bought. This was Collemattoni; a really delicious wine; powerful and aromatic. I bought a case, but I may buy some more, as this has such depth and power. Everybody should have some of these wines; I think a lot of them are very good, and will last for some years.

This year's version of Brooklyn Brewery's Monster Ale. I really like barleywine, and this one's pretty good.

Beans, please report on the Mayfar - it sounds delicious.

Voyant Chai Liqueur--a mixture of rum, cream, black tea and various "chai" spices (including cloves). Smooth and rich--I could only drink a small shot's worth. But it's nice over ice, and I suspect it would be good heated. They also recommend spiking your tea with it.
