Wish I had a chunk of Point Reyes Original Blue to go with this Belgian Farmhouse Ale I'm drinking...smooth and creamy cheese w/ that wonderful bite you get from a good blue cheese!

So true! The bite on this blue is amazing. Glad they grabbed me a chunk of it!

Your folks were in my neck of the woods!

Very nice! Yeah, they spent the week down in Stinson then swung by Point Reyes for cheese and Tomales Bay oyster company for some oysters to go!

Besides being an archaeologist and a knife guy, I'm also a longtime surfer...unless travelling, I generally spend a couple mornings a week surfing the Bolinas/Point Reyes/Stinson Beach area.

Very cool! We're gonna be out in Stinson early July!

I'm generally a Beefeater guy, but I do like and enjoy Gordon's. A well made classic dry gin. Very nice knife, too.

My local fave....when the brewery is ten minutes away you get some...

Thank you, Stuart. Not crazy about Gordon's, but it is decent (and cheap!). Favorite is Tanqueray, and next is Beefeater. Bombay is good, both London Dry & Sapphire, and I like Plymouth. I usually use the readily available Martini & Rossi vermouth, but found a small bottle of Noilly Pras at the liquor store today. Very good, although my martinis don't have a lot of vermouth.

All fine gins. I like Noilly, though I use the Original Dry version. My go-to vermouth is Boissiere (see post #6074).

A great pairing: two Case 079s in MOP from 1965-1969 and 1978 with a Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou from 1981 (the cork on the wine was less resilient to aging than the MOP on the Cases). All are delicious.

The lighting was more flattering to the wine than the MOP. Here's the MOP: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads...ya-totin-today.547127/page-7016#post-18972203

Loki and I returned from a walk to savor (me) and look for rabbits (him) in the vicinity. We sat on the front stoop, while I enjoyed a cigar and the remnants of that Bordeaux as it got better with air.

Then the foxes started up (we have a den with 3 kits in the neighborhood). He was focused.

A great night!

It does sound like a great night.

After a long Saturday, came home to unload my belt and have a cocktail.
