Insomnia weather check: wind howling, cold, driveway drifting in again. Will be blowing snow again tonight, and we are not expecting the plows until tomorrow sometime. Roads are total shit in my neighborhood. I have an AWD Sorento that weighs 4000lbs and it just flounders when the snow is over 7-8". Makes it through but not necessarily in a straight line lol.
Anyways, had me a sixer of Miller Lite last night to unwind, probably why I woke up at 1:30 this morning. I will get back to sleep eventually.
Finding a great (bold) red for $$ is fairly easy. Finding an inexpensive (bold) red that punches well above its weight is kinda a fun challenge. I came across this < $12 (and under $10 when bought as a case) that’s up to the challenge.
Score for some Fire Water!! My buddy was in Illinois last week and hit a liquor store. They had 3 bottles sitting there. He bought all 3 and hooked me up with one🤘🏼 Today's my birthday, so bottoms up!
I can confirm that Buffalo Trace's Chris Stapleton "Traveller" collab is quite good. A little sweet perhaps, but not cloying. Very well rounded with vanilla and minerals on the finish. A proper sippin' whiskey.

Narry a flake today out here in SW Ohio. Maybe we'll get it in a day or two?

Best Irish whiskey under $50 you ask me.
Will have to look for it.

Happy birthday, Eric!
Cheers Eric! Happy birthday.
I know, Jack Daniels is pretty run of the mill stuff, but I just have to say, that JD "Bonded" is excellent.

Some of the JD whiskey made several best of 2023 bourbon reviews.
Except JD is not (technically) bourbon.
Technically it is a bourbon...https://www.gearpatrol.com/food/drinks/a45752670/is-jack-daniels-bourbon/
I don't care what you call it, this stuff is good
. FWIW I've also had the triple mash, but prefer the Bonded.
Good article. I stand corrected.

My pour for Burns Supper night here at home.
Salud!
You and I gonna get along just fine.
That's a nice brew, special occasion stuff
. You found it in Texas?
Yeah, they carry it and trois pistoles at a couple of places.
Mondays suck. Tuesdays may as well suck, too.
Likely ^
Some nice drink.
So long Saturday...
My local grocery store is more excited for summertime than I am.
