Cigars & Wine

[Bucko]

Okay, I put the proof in the pudding. I hosted a BBQ for the neighbors tonight, then the guys drifted off to the back deck and we lit up stogies with Korbel VSOP - a perfect match.

My note on the Korbel:

Korbel, Brandy, VSOP, Gold Reserve, California, $16. 90 proof. This is a nice Brandy to bridge the gap between the low-end Brandies and the finer Brandies and Cognacs. The richest flavored and darkest in color of their line. Very smooth on the palate, with honeycomb and smoky aromas and flavors. There is a touch of butterscotch and citrus on the lingering finish. 85/90.

Inexpensive spirits that went head to head with the palate killing cigars. Perfect, for us anyway.
