That Fantome de Noel reminds me of the Belgian Ale Trader Joes used to carry for $2 a bottle in the early '90s. It was pretty darn good - I drank so much of it for so long I quit buying it. Wish they had it again now, though.

How 'bout a contest - who's got the most booze?

I'll have to start counting, but I know that they occupy two full shelves in my kitchen. Plus the stuff in the fridge. Plus the wine racks (very small...)

Rum alone counts for at least eight bottles...I'll do a full inventory if you want me to.

Do it! Do it!

I probably SHOULD do a full inventory. I'm just afraid that if I do, my wife will make me toss some of it.

I took a quick count:

34 bottles of booze in various sizes with many partially consumed. That also includes crap I'm never going to drink (like Campari) and vermouth (which should be with the wine).

36 bottles of wine.

2 cases of cold beer and 2 5 liter mini kegs of Becks and EKU Pils.

Somebody please tell me they got more stuff than that.

Ooh, with the kegs, you probably have me beat. I'll check when I get home.

hmmm...I don't have even close to that.

Scotch:
1.75 L Johnny Walker Black
.75 L Lagavulin
.75 L Macallan 12
.75 L Balvenie Double Wood

Bourbon:
.75 L Woodford
.75 L Blanton's

Beer:
2 cases homebrewed milk porter
1.5 cases homebrewed brown ale
<1 case each of
homebrewed belgian wheat
homebrewed IPA
Victory Storm King

and!

30 pk. PBR

wow bigwill...I think you've got me (and likely everyone else) beat by a long shot!

"By a long SHOT" he says!! You guys are killing me.

I can't compete. I buy what I like and then drink it. No inventory to speak of.

I had a great Port tonight - Barnard Griffin Syrah Port from eastern Washington.

Fascinating observations, guys. Thanks for sharing.
