one thing I do with my family during the holidays is ignore them to post in Internet forum threads which supposedly oppose my performative interests and beliefs

that said, hope they're treating you well Stymie. maybe you have a good reason to be doing what you do

it's been baby's first Christmas so by definition it's been really nice compared to the last few. no complaints except I wish she wasn't teething so early

thanks for your relatively radical positivity Stymie it's a good look

hunt down a bottle of "semi-dry" sherry

it's much richer and more port-like than a cream sherry, but still a touch sweet thanks to a splash of red wine mixed in

edit: nvm google indicates "cream sherry" means exactly the fine wine product i just recommended. so you are already drinking it. i was thinking of dessert sherries, which are so sweet they almost resemble ruby port.

I like some PX sherries that are very sweet, dark, thick and rich. Like they squeezed out raisins in a glass.

I had some toro albala 1929 recently and the texture and appearance was basically motor oil. something like 500g of residual sugar per litre.

no one will give you the drinks you want because everything is calculated to never be winning over the house

so order the cheapest garbage they have and you might come out ahead in ethanol percentages imho assuming they get lazy when pouring sad sap bourbon but even then rip

In Vegas I'd usually get Sam Adams or something because it's free and not completely horrible like bud light or other trash tier beers

woodfords is solid. not necessarily the the best the price category but consistent bottling and very drinkable. they do 375ml bottles which are handy for traveling

bulleit is fine especially for cocktails but I find the bottlings are really inconsistent.

bulleit is ok, they just want to charge way too much money for it

it's a $20 bottle with a $40 price tag, if you know what i mean
