What are you drinking?

Glass chips don't get in the champagne?

Four Roses and Coke Zero. The regular Four Roses, so it's not a crime to mix.

Not with the exit pressure of the champagne. I walked out the cork/top combo and it flew about 41 ft.

I don't like sugared sodas.

Sumac Ridge Pipe Wine, the Canadian equivalent of port, 2004 vintage ( the photo is a 2006 vintage). We have cases and cases of Canadian "ports" in our basement. Clearly if we do move upon retirement one of the big expenses will be shifting the ports and sherries to our new home. Pipe is interesting. It is clearly port like, yet not Portuguese and they also tend to have some of the brown sugar and slightly off molasses notes that one finds in sherries.

I made some port from my 2009 Cabernet because it came in so ripe. It has a very interesting tobacco note due the herbal Cab quality - a bit like fresh pipe tobacco (not the same "pipe" of course.) Only 4% sugar so it's not quite as cloying as some.

How much land do you have? How many grapes?

One of my current dreams is a hobby orchard, if my retirement move is full time rather than half time.
