One of my neighbors whipped up home made Irish Cream-oh wowzaa! It's smoooth with a kick. Normally I don't like anything like this however it was the perfect after dinner drink to share with the adult family members.

Vacation loot!
Made bread pudding for Xmas eve dinner. Unbeknownst to me, the recipe made room for an extra 2 cups of custard for the cook to drink while the pudding was in the oven. The custard included a total of 3oz of Bourbon (Buffalo Trace). That blew eggnog away.
Sounds like a great combination. I like blending flavors, textures, wines and liquors. Irish Cream and Buffalo Trace. Peach cordial and Buffalo Trace. Ruby Port and Buffalo Trace. There may be a pattern there.
Btw, I still have the last 375 bottle of Rhubarb cordial waiting for you. It's aging at the cabin. For sure I'll be making more next year.
Buffalo Trace can do that to ya. Rich, hot stuff.
The rhubarb is here in PV. But if I'm in Palisade when you head west I can show you the garage home winery. Desert hillbilly style in metal-building-ville. On New Year's Day I bottled carboys of 2015 Cab Sauv and Cab Franc, and racked the 2016 Riesling.
No room for that in the tiny PV cabin. Still struggling with the middle of winter move into an uninsulated cabin and heating with a wood stove. Brought over a 3/4 cord trailer load of apple wood so that helps extend the spruce-fir fire.
Pic above was last evening at the Peaceful Valley willow carr where I hiked with two old friends. I sipped the Southwick's.
Want to have you over for elk steaks after Brian delivers my Omega. We'll sip some rhubarb afterward.
