@ ATX SOMMS & TW&FFTX ... 1st chateau visit ... 1st to estate bottle in the Loupiac AOP ... tiny 9 ha property ... AMAZING!

Agree!

Remembering those lost on 9-11 and the many after ...

My head hound head rest! His name is Howdy and he loves Gin!

AMERICA: stop being clueless! Quit texting while walking, driving as if helpless, allowing your kids to act bat shit crazy, asking dumb questions, being a delicate ‘snow flake’, making excuses, and in general, sucking at being human.

THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR VETRANS, ALIVE, LOST, OR FALLEN. YOUR SERVICE IS A TESTSMENT OF VALUES, INTERGRITY, AND SACRIFICE! WE ARE SAFE BECAUSE OF YOUR VALOR! 🍸!

Chaste ice cold ‘Blue Steel’!

@ Cigar Aficionado-JUL/AAUG-2020 | ‘Bond, James Bond’ on 59 | solid article-pg 59 is weak-The Vesper is a modified Gin 🍸-Vodka is a garnish to boost alcohol-FYI, was Quina Lillet back yonder-only 1 Martini, The Gin 🍸-all others are cocktails! Vodka as Bond tipple = marketing!

Hmmm ...

And again ...

Ohhh my ... the Ultimate Gin Martini experience!

For a Gin Martini, your ‘mis’ HAS TO BE PERFECT-Glasses stored ‘Conical Up’ in the freezer-lemons @ room temp to peel a perfect zest-olives no pimento, soak in club soda @ 2 mins, marinate in quality vermouth for 3 days-wash ice in bitters & vermouth+Gin-stir 123 X 2-( . Y . )’s!

I will forgive the lack of a twist ... still a great print!

Hmmm ... @ $4.99 per bottle the COSTCO ‘Kirkland’ label Pinot Grigio is ‘tip-top’ ... FYI, their MA Champagne is still $19.99 and has been for ??? ... the Provence rose is great @ $9.99.

The inaugural cocktail, The Gibson, to announce my plans for a Gin Martini Club | club name-membership criteria-dues-meeting dates-value statement-by laws TDB | hold onto your undies as will be a ‘well lathered to do’ and a club dedicated to greatest of all spirits - GIN!

Take a moment to remember the tragedies of 9-11, especially the lost innocent lives and the future lives of our fine Soldiers - Sailors - Airmen - Marines of the US Armed Forces.

@ Coach Bill Belichick ... condolences and support to you and your family on the passing of your mother, Mrs. Jeannette Belichick. The Prater Nation stands in your circle. So much respect ... my Grandad, Stan T. Prater, Navy Veteran, truly admired your character. God Bless.

Stick to your values Gina Carano ... I applaud your convictions.

To AZ: STUNNING! To NV: you are the determining state between capitalist prosperity and liberal socialism ... DO NOT F#%K UP!

@ THE USA AS A WHOLE: TRULY IS SHAMEFUL THAT THE DATE OF DEC 7TH WAS SO EASILY FORGOTTEN. PATHETIC! AOC HAD MORE PRESS REGARDLESS OF HER DISDAIN FOR OUR GREAT COUNTRY.
