It Happened

[cheesy]

Finally. Mrs. C admitted that I was right. What was surprising was that it came out of the blue.

In the winter gripe thread I mentioned that we turned on a second humidifier because of how dry the house is and we were both pretty miserable. I mentioned to her this morning that she seemed to sleep pretty good last night. She said she had a shot of my Brown Dog Whiskey before bed and that, wait for it, I was right that the whiskey would help her sleep when she has a head cold.

She also said it was yucky.

Any day that your wife admits that you were right about something is a day to be remembered and celebrated.

She didn't happen to also say that the time is right for you to deliver the jeep to me now did she ?

I just can't see this ever happening for me....even if I were ever right.

BTW...while on vacation in St Augustine I picked up a few bottles of their bourbon. perhaps she'd like it better!

Enjoy it, cheesy! This is the only one!

[cheesy]

After further discussion, it was discovered that a disinterested third party, the owner of the distillery where I get the Brown Dog, told her the same thing I told her years ago.

It's still a win.

hmmm... I'm going to have to try that Brown dog.... I love me a nice glass of Lexington Bourbon on the rocks every once in a while... and I just finished off the bottle I had.... hmmm...

when I was at the St Augustine distillery, during the tour, they made an Old Fashioned that was probably the best I've ever had. it had every bit of the bourbon flavor without any burn at all. I've not been able to duplicate it at home.

the burn is half the fun of bourbon!

I would like to know more about that old-fashioned recipe. I do like them too (in moderation of course)!
I also owned a sailboat on Lake Norman for about 22 years. Some of the best lake sailing days I guess I will ever have. I see you are from Mooresville. Nice town IMO.

I can say the same about the Cuba Libre I had at the Bacardi Distillery in San Juan. Best ever.

Sometimes it's the product, sometimes it's the setting.

If you're a whisky fan this is a perfect opportunity to grow the collection. Try a new flavor every night 'till she likes one or you have enough for your enjoyment. Kidding aside, I've found that even some people who dislike easy/mild whiskeys will sometimes like something like a punchy ass cask strength Islay that I'd never expect them to like.

Same is true for beer. My wife always insisted that she didn't like beer, until she joined us on a few beer fest events. She found that the saison beers were drinkable (which I disagree with), but she loved sour wheat gose. Gose is low in alcohol, it's gassy and cloudy and she thinks it's awesome. If all beer tasted like that, I wouldn't drink beer.

Sounds like my brother. He likes those beers that you need to floss when you're done with a pint.
