I'll have to pick up a few bottles then. Any shelf bottles around here worth bringing back or should i just load up at Russian River? Ive got a wine check. We went to the Caf (no prix fixe menu) portion of Chez Panisse, and it was great. They had an apricot gallete with ice cream that I will be dreaming about for years. No other foodie dinners until Bouchon Bistro on Sunday night!

Cool. I've been meaning to check it out but we have so many other places we go to out there and never seem to be in that area.
If in SF, go to Tony's Napoltena for lunch. The Margherita pizza is awesome. Also, check out the fried chicken at Addendum (the shed behind Ad Hoc) when you are in Yountville. I think they are open Sunday. Grab it for an appetizer before lunch. Best fried chicken I've ever had.
I'd load up on RRBC and SARA...and growlers of Cellarmaker.

Sounds like a bad ass trip so far seco. Not much to report here in Oregon yet, heading out to Canon Beach today and then down to coast to Tillamook and de garde. Sometime this weekend I'll hit downtown Portland for cascade, HoD, and Belmont.
God, I need a beercation. Jealous of these trips.
Maybe after I finish with school and take the kids to Disney. Disney has beer, right?!?!

Epcot definitely does
Around the World beer drinking at Epcot is quite an experience. Go see Crush and Turtle Talk buzzed. You'll have more fun than the kiddos.
Plus a lot of the hotels on property have good beer. Jai Alai isn't too hard to find.

Currently working on a spreadsheet... be looking for instructions this afternoon/evening.

Picked up four different bottles of Cantillon today in Paris. Going to try and bring three of them back in a checked bag. We'll see how it goes since I've never tried it.
Godspeed.

Nice. Wrap them in tshirts and pack plenty of clothing around them. Maybe swipe a couple hotel towels to wrap them in. Good luck.
Thanks, the store bubble wrapped them so I'm hoping with that and me wrapping them in some shirts I should be OK.
Going to crack open the bottle of Iris tomorrow to celebrate 5 years of marriage. Never had it so I'm pretty excited.

Ok... spreadsheet is ready to go. If you'd like something, please send me an email at: jah 003 at shsu dot edu
I'll shoot you back an email with the spreadsheet link. I'll do my best to get back to you ASAP, but I do have an 11 month old... Could be another round depending on how well this first round goes.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
For my fellow hop-heads out there, I saw Stone Ruinten at HEB in BCS.
I drank one of those yesterday that I picked up at Tower Point HEB.
2013 vintage. Past its prime. No carbonation at all
2014 Prairie Bomb tonight. As always, fantastic.
Trying to get rid of some aging beers to make room for the beers I brought back from Vancouver.

it's port/lost abbey, there's always a 50/50 chance your beer will have no carbonation. Only brewery that is worse is hair of the dog.
Well **** I hope I don't get screwed on my bottle of Angel's share. Was going to pick up red poppy next time it drops here but maybe I'll pass now.
email sent!
damn it - i have one of those in the fridge!!!
I have a 2011 Older Viscosity somewhere in the cellar. I wonder how that's holding up.
I found an '09 Avery Hog Heaven in my beer fridge the other day... Is that even drinkable?

Ah... to be fair I had to look twice, and wondered if there was some kind of collaboration I didn't know about.

the st arnold devine reserve 10's (from 2010) are still great
Yep, the Cantillon Iris is excellent.
Picked up a 4 pack of the O'Dell blackberry goze and some bockslider.
Enjoying my first Canadian beer brought back. Kind of a pale ale with spruce tip hops. Only 4.5%. Overall the beer in Vancouver was pretty good. They do a bunch of IPAs in the style of the rest PNW, but with seemingly less abv.
Iris is the only cantillon I've had and it was on tap and damn good.
Not a bad shelf turd here in Santa Cruz. Imperial Biscotti Break on deck. SARA tomorrow!
