Although I own a ” square foot of Islay“, I have never actually set foot on the island to visit my minuscule plot of land, but thanks to the multimedia rich world in which we live, you don’t actually have to visit a place to get a feel […]
Last Thursday, G-LO and I came home from a hard day at work and found that our urchins were playing outside, so as all good parents are wont to do, we sat down at the table to supervise from a distance. For the record, “hard at work” for […]
As they say in the movie business, Whisky Jewbilee 2015 is “in the can”. Done. Finito. History. There have been four of them. We’ve been to three of them, and they get better and better every year. This year was extra special, because in addition to sampling some […]
The other day, G-LO opened some recently received boozemail and discovered samples of two different whiskies from Crown Royal. He tackled the Northern Harvest Rye review and I took on the Hand Selected Barrel review. Over the years, we have reviewed the XR, the Maple, the XO, the Monarch 75th […]
G-LO once again called to nag me about getting my homework in on time. Apparently, we received new boozemail which required our prompt attention. This time around, a sample of the Tomatin 12 French Oak came our way. Four years ago, I reviewed a bottle of the Tomatin 12 (my […]

It’s been an interesting late Winter / early Spring at the G-LO residence. On March 13, our long overdue kitchen renovation started, which of course means that we’ve been eating nothing but take-out for the past 6 weeks. I adore pizza, burgers, cheesesteaks and Chik-Fil-A as much as […]
Chapter 1 – The Package It was an unusually cold April evening. G-LO decided to work a bit later than usual. The wife and kids were out of town. The office…a veritable ghost town thanks to Spring Break, Passover, and Easter falling on the same week. If ever […]
