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.

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

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).

If you can't be in Houston, get a little Houston in you!

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!
