Drink Planner

The mantle of Champion of Drinking is not something we bestow lightly around here. Only three people have previously been granted the title, and two of them were wine pioneer Robert Mondavi and the lucky so-and-so who just happens to have my dream job, Zane Lamprey. But recent events, as well as a storied history […]

You guys should have seen this coming.  And why not, it’s a great idea!  Halloween + Thursday Drink Night + Crystal Head Vodka = DUH, of course.  What else would we use for the Halloween season, the Tommy Gun vodka?  No, that’s for Earth Day, don’t be stupid.  You guys remember Crystal Head Vodka when

*Here’s the thing about running a website: when there are holidays, everyone expects you to write “theme posts”. PR firms fill your inbox with (mostly) horrible drinks featuring their booze with silly campy obvious names like “Wolfman’s Delight” or “Santa’s Little Helper”. They send these with the full expectation that I will publish every single

So I have a group of friends who I get together with every Monday night. When 24 is on, we watch that. If it is not, then we usually watch a movie (preferably The Hangover or something about Pope John Paul II). So because of them, they are the reason I have yet to drag

As you may or may not have read, the FTC had handed down some new guidelines to bloggers about disclosing who got what from whom. It’s all very legal and boring and SNNNNOOOORE but I’m going to address it here, add it to the site disclaimer, and then BOOM it’s done, we need’nt speak of

You guys watch Mad Men, right?  Of course you do, it’s great!  So you know that one chick on there, the one married to Don?  Betty is her name.  Here’s a reminder of what she looks like, just in case you’re not sure: Granted, she doesn’t dress quite like that on the show, but still,

If there’s some aspect I don’t like about booze, I have yet to find it.  From it’s production to it’s taste and smell to the way it makes me feel, there’s nothing I don’t find fascinating about alcohol.  Hell, I even appreciate hangovers, a not-so-gentle reminder of the raw power booze can exert over me

Today I’m going to be taking a look at a brand new liqueur from Kahlua, Kahlua Coffee Cream.  It’s a limited edition product rolling out to stores now for the holiday season.  It is what it sounds like: Kahlua coffee liqueur blended with cream.  Easy, right?  If you like Kahlua, you’ve probably already made a

Just a quick heads up, our friends at Kuroshio sushi are celebrating their 2 year anniversary THIS SATURDAY.  They grow up so fast, don’t they?  To celebrate, They’re offering $1 house sake and (if their Facebook page is to be believed) free appetizers ALL DAY.  That’s right, you could theoretically have edamame and sake for
