There is a Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame. Members include Frederick Booker Noe Jr., Col. Albert Bacon Blanton, Tom Bulleit, many men named Beam, and Julian P. "Pappy" Van Winkle. Initiated members get one of these mini-still trophies:
The Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame historians teamed up with the Kentucky Distiller's Association to create the First Official Bourbon History Timeline. Clarence's first sip of bourbon, circa 1912, oddly did not make the timeline.
Perhaps most important, there is something called the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. For a nominal sum, a tour bus will drive you to seven different bourbon distilleries over the course of three days. Whilst at the distilleries, you drink bourbon. They even have a Kentucky Bourbon Trail App to help you complete the trip. Why the hell didn't any of you tell me about this before? And when are we going?
That sounds like a good three day weekend trip. Screw Disney. But don't expect to sample any Jack if you go to their distillery in TN, it's in a dry county. We learned the hard way.
ReplyDeleteyou need to get out of the city more z. i was unaware of the HOF, so thank you for that. know a few fellas that have been on the trail. all have spoken highly of it. throw in a little gawlf, a baseball game (louisville has a AA team and a great park) and you have yourself somethin...real nice.

ReplyDeleteSo, Jon Runyan is retiring at the end of next year from his service as the US House Representative from New Jersey's 3rd Congressional district. This is a just right of center congressional district that includes Mount Laurel and Toms River. So who, you may ask, is rumored to be the republican running to fill this seat? None other than Al Leiter. Seriously. After he finishes a couple terms, Gregg Jeffries is going to take a swing at it, followed by Mike Quick.
ReplyDeleteI explained da mystery of chessboxin. Slang editorial, of course.
ReplyDeleteJohn Kruk is governor so I guess sending any of those guys to the House makes sense.
ReplyDeletejust ate an apple the "correct" way. there is definitely a core in there, i cursed several times, and the seeds are no fun. you can do it, and i did eat a bit more of the apple than normal, but i'm not recommending this method.
ReplyDeleteRe: UVA vs. VCU BBall game last night - The radio call for VCU's go-ahead three pointer with a second left was awesome.
ReplyDeleteVCU ended the game on a 10-1 run. Not too good, Cavs. Not too good.
ReplyDeleteAlso, last night was fun. Yaaaay, college basketball.
ReplyDeletemayhugh, do you have a link to that radio call?
ReplyDeletekim alexis, former supermodel and area resident-totally just got her attention. i made her laugh in fact. unfortunately it was by walking out the emergency exit right by her booth in the deli i ate in today. got kind of loud. womp womp.
ReplyDeletePour some out for Todd Christensen. Tough day for American Gladiators fans.
ReplyDeleteTooJays's Dan?
ReplyDeletenegative marls. Jason's Deli. Jason owns it.
ReplyDeleteMike Adamle is devasted.
ReplyDeleteSo Kim Alexis likes Jason's meat?
ReplyDeleteLike Fred Flintstone drivin around with bald feet.
ReplyDeleteVery sad to hear the Christensen news. His ~4-yr reign as a premier TE who revolutionized the position in the late 80's should not be overlooked. I loved him as a Raider. Before there was Ben Coates and Tony Gonzalez, there was Todd. And his bitching stache. Rest in peace, number 46.
ReplyDeleteKyle Korber is in his 10th year? How is that possible? I am so old.
