Hey, sweetie - hope your Thanksgiving was great. We sat around and swigged from the bottle (don't worry, he insisted, and there's lots left for him to enjoy) and agreed that this stuff is indescribable. FanTAStic....
I'm so very glad. As I told both carnyjack and dr_whuh when I called, it was the story that got me. I'm thrilled that the bottle's contents live up to and quite possibly exceed it.
And, just to be perfectly clear, I think swigging under Thursday's circumstances was damned near as ideal as life gets.
Translation for those not in on the conspiracy: a bunch of us collaborated on a b'day prezzie for carnyjack -- a bottle of hand-distilled, unblended cognac older than he is. It's one of 1500 bottles distilled in 1946 (first vintage after production was suspended during the war) but not bottled until 1998, after it turned up during an inventory of the family-owned cognac house.
