Had some friends over for a small Halloween party tonight. I went as a middle class Dracula. Classic cape, vest, and medallion with blue jeans. Genius I know.
Backyard grilling at it's finest with ranchera preperada asada, teriyaki chicken, and bacon. Real bacon has grill marks. Potato and pasta salads for side dishes. Mini brownies for dessert.
Chose Dreams of Kadath for a post dinner smoke. Opened a bottle of 1997 Niepoort vintage Port to go with it.
The bottle:
Thoroughly saturated cork:
Decanted and poured:
The tobacco really made this bottle shine! Total fruit bomb with a little old world charm and perfect level of sweetness. I was very happy and thoroughly impressed with this bottle. I've always found this brand to be just okay but this bottle sang. Not sure if it was just the luck of the draw or the tobacco but it was well worth the price of admission.
Now to bed satiated and exhausted.
