On Sunday, January 30th at 6PM, the Crafty Day crew (Patty and Rob, Sue and Rash, Mrs. G-LO and I) gathered at Adsum for a long overdue dinner. We were there for well over 3 hours and consumed 7 appetizers, 6 entrees, 5 desserts, and drank many beers, […]
On my way to a client visit, I had the great misfortune of arriving far too early. In order to pass the time, I was forced to peruse the shelves of the wine & spirits store that was in the lower level of the business park. It seems […]
At my local liquor mart, I came across a bottle of Bruichladdich Rocks. Now, I am quite partial to Bruichladdich, a distillery with a long history. The distillery was built in 1881 in westernmost part of the island of Islay with a state-of-the-art design that used tall and […]

The Sam Adams Chocolate Bock was a part of the sampler pack that I was given as an extra Christmas present from my father-in-law. I was intrigued by the name but ultimately disappointed by the flavor. The nose was sweet and full of the roasted malt aroma. The […]
About two weeks ago, I decided that I would treat myself, and pick up a new bottle of Single Malt Scotch. Since I’ve been spending alot of time in Islay, I thought I would branch out and try something from Northern Scotland. After contemplating the whisky selections at […]
