For World Whisky Day (like we weren’t going to be out tossing a few back anyway?), the Boozedancers decided to round up the usual suspects (our SMWSA Extravaganza night crowd including Pappy and a few extras) and have a mini-whiskey night at The Barthenon, i.e. some food, a […]
Recently, I was in Florida for Spring Break. Once, I had Spring Break visions of Ft. Lauderdale and bikini contests. Now, Spring Break is a trip to Cape Canaveral with three kids and a stay in a condo complex with an average age of Social Security. I’m not sure […]
Two weeks ago, I went for a quick booze run to WineWorks in Marlton, NJ since I needed to pick up a replacement bottle of High West Double Rye, as well as something new for a casual whisky tasting that Limpd was hosting at The Barthenon. After a […]

Two Saturdays ago, Mrs. G-LO was in an unusually decisive mood and informed me that I would be making a fennel salad and grilled chicken for dinner. Since the weather was pretty close to perfect, I happily fired up the grill and broke out the kitchen tools to […]
You know how I know I’m old? Because I’m 47 years old and this is my first time drinking Fireball Cinnamon Whisky! There has been so much talk about this stuff amongst the whisky blogerati (most of them had bad things to say about it) that I just […]
Well, I purchased a bottle of Stone’s Enjoy By IPA and placed it in the beer fridge without paying a whole lot of attention to its location. Apparently, the label didn’t really sink in either. So, on 04/20/14, I cracked open the Enjoy By 02/14/14 IPA and split […]
