Add a slosh of whiskey and it's the bee's knees!

Looks interesting Grant. Green ginger wine... I've had beer with ginger but never wine.

I'm a big fan of alcoholic ginger beer, and Stone's was the "go to" drink of choice (along with a bunch of el-cheapo Aussie knock-offs such as Brandavino, Passion Pop, April Gold, KB beer, etc) back when we were teenagers, too young to actually purchase booze, but with a friend that looked old enough and could pass muster at the counter. We'd pool our meager financial resources (Brandavino, a wine based brandy derivative, was $1.00) and get pie-eyed (ah, youth !!!)

Just made a Russian Imperial Stout yesterday. To bad it's at least 6 months before I can drink it.

The Oscars have begun (but not my consumption!); Billy Crystal sang his ode to the 9 nominated best picture nominees. I can't help but think of the opportunity he might have had if the movie Shame had been nominated. A segment on chronic masturbation would have been hysterical during the openning!

Well, it's 26Feb, I have this night off, but I thought I would be somewhere else. For the the last three years, I've attended an AMC theater for the Oscars on the big screen--an event all for charity; but Kansas City was not on the list of cities hosting these events this year! The closest was St. Louis (a mere 4 hours away, but I decided not to go. It's not like it's a Stephen King event, where I spent $125 on a ticket and travelled 600 miles one way to see him). So I'm here at home tonight for the event. And, I've got some libation as well.

3 hours to go. They're probably doing the red carpet stuff right now. Not my thing, but if some like Christina Hendricks (or some other lady who doesn't look like an undernourished meerkat) were to walk down it wearing nothing but high heels, I might take a looky-loo. So it's just me and The Wind Through the Keyhole for the time being.......

I knew it had to be Krosno! They make some pretty fine glasses.

Great contents as well.

Hand made in Poland! Now that's a coincidence! Post some pics if you can, i'm looking for a nice set myself.

Sorry for the poor quality (webcam), one of my daughters has the camera!
Maker's name: KROSNO.
Contents of the glass: Johnnie Walker Double Black - a very nice drop!

I assume it is a snowman, guess I never asked. My niece can tell me what it says. I will ask her the next time she is over.

It's not supposed to be a snowman, right?

That's one cool (no pun intended) bottle Martin

Love Southern Comfort, and those glasses are excellent. Bought some whiskey tumbers with that same base bubble design - were hand-made in Poland. I do enjoy a nice, heavy glass!
