been busy, still drinkin'

Ok, I've been busy as my header suggests, mainly with Folk Fest which happened last month and various projects involving music, friends and doin' nothing.
And I've been 'sampling' a fair amount of tasty products, like:


Kokanee Gold Amber Lager

Wow. I don't usually go for Kokanee after I had a bad experience with it after a frisbee game, but I had heard that the gold was really good off of the tap so why not try it in a bottle. Well they were right. Even in the bottle it had a nice caramely hint to it and had a nice full body, which is what I look for in a good lager, and a great finish that was clean and refreshing.

For dinner last Saturday, I had some delicous steaks with some kick-ass sauce that my brother picked up in Morris at the stampeed and with it I had:

Edwards and Chaffey Section 353 Cabernet Sauvignon 1998

I went to the website last week before I pulled this out of the cellar to take to the lake, and it was mentioning that 2005 was the prime drinking time for that vintage. So, I thought, may as well pull it out if they're sayin' that it might be gettin' done.
There is no reason that this is going bad at all. I cracked this open and it hit me in the nose like a hammer! Big fruit and blackberry filled the glass and the taste! Unreal! Really full-bodied and smooth, I wish I had had more of this, but alas! From what I hear, E&C dosen't make this anymore, so if you can find some somewhere, pick some up!

Whoops, gotta get back to work!
