What's in your glass tonight?

[Khristyjeff]

I'm a big fan of the Moka pot, which is all we ever use.

Espresso! That's good too, or do you make it a little lighter? One or two hits of this stuff and I'm good to go.

It depends on whether I or my bride get to the moka pot first! I use a little more coffee than she does. This discrepancy makes me a little more eager to get out of bed in the morning!

Another French Press fan here. We also really like the taste of coffee made in our Chem-Ex pour over style which makes more than the French Press. We tended to use these on weekends and the Bunn drip coffee-maker during the week (for ease and full pot quantity). That is until my wife asked what it would take for me to switch from the Bunn to the Chem-Ex for daily use. She said it just tastes so much better. Who was I to argue with her? We love our coffee!

I have a second drip machine at my office, which I haven't been to in 2 years, thanks to WFH. Co-workers are using it, as I have an identical one at home and have no place to put it.

Espresso is for afternoons! Morning is quantity time!

I like my coffee black and bitter -- it sets the correct tone for my work day!

I am retired (less than a year), but I feel the same way!

Red wine

Red wine

Wow! I know you haven't made wine in quite a while, yet your ability to identify various types of wine remains quite formidable.

Learning from the pros here.

Had some leftover Mississippi Pot Roast from last week and was looking at CT for something that would not only go but needed to be opened. This fit the bill and was flat out amazing. Could not do this without proper storage conditions and so glad we do. Red Mountain fruit with a finish that just kept going and going and going........ Col Solare is a joint venture with the Antinori family and Chateau Ste. Michelle. This was a Costco buy as well!

Spaghetti tonight, paired with an older red wine that @jgmann67 blended from two batches we made in the fall of 2016. Some would say it is past it's peak, I think it is pretty darn good!

I have a few bottles for you if I can ever remember to put them in the car, lol.

Maybe one bottle. I'm purging, trying to reduce my alcohol intake lately.
