Whatcha drinking (2018-2022)?

$32 ?????? Wow - you just got scr***d! Mind you, it was a 16 yr old single malt. Single malt is already "premium", and anything over 10 years is "super -premium". Still you could have picked up a whole bottle for between £ 74-84 over here. Never mind. Count it as an experience!!!

Yeah. I've had a couple of bottles back home, lovely drink. That's why I picked it.
Oh well. Won't be coming to Chicago again so it's something to talk about.

Hey, after the exchange rate, I once paid $75US for a pair of dress socks from some fancy-schmancy men’s store in London. I didn’t want to look like a cheapo after walking in and seeing the prices, so I just grabbed a pair of socks and played it off like that’s all I needed.

Funny thing is, they’re damn good socks. I bought them in…2009, I wear them all the time, and they’re not worn out at all. I think they’re made out of vibranium.

Magner’s dark cider and a beer:

Very strong coffee, and since it’s 1 Oct, poured into a black-and-orange cup.

I’m cooking mushrooms for MrsT (again), and I wanted a little booze to cook them down in, but I didn’t want to open a bottle of wine that she won’t help me drink.

That’s when I remembered this cheap-azz sherry I have in the fridge, and mushrooms in sherry is pretty classic, so I splashed that in, and suddenly felt like I needed a glass, so I embraced my inner Edwardian and had a sip:

I'm partial to a bit of sherry sometimes. How big is that glass?

It’s 3-1/2 inches tall and 2-1/4 inches across.

I like sherry, but it has to be dry Amontillado. The drier the better. The sweet stuff (oloroso, for example) is ´orrible!

If someone invites you over to sample some Amontillado, make sure you haven't pi$$ed him off in the past.
