“I’d go into tasting notes, but that’s Scottes’ domain.”

Blair, please, start taking notes. Even if they’re simple ones, like “good, a little sweet, spicy finish, kinda smooth, worth $30″

I can’t tell you how many times I bought a bottle of crap and thought “I don’t remember it being this bad…”

Sounds like a great week. You visited some of my favorites (Teardrop, Apizza Scholl’s, Huber’s, Thatch) and given me a couple of suggestions for the next time I’m out and around.

Slightly off-topic, but, is Portland in the midst of a Luxardo Maraschino shortage? I’m dry and have hit three liquor stores to check (although not Uptown, yet)

and try it with less or no seltzer. Probably even better than it was.

I was watching while the bartender made our drinks.

Here’s that muddled fig recipe:

2 oz fig-infused bourbon
1 sugar cube
1 fig
dash(es to taste) Regan’s Orange Bitters
Seltzer

Soak the sugar cube with Regan’s Orange Bitters to taste and muddle with fig in single rocks glass. Add ice, bourbon, and top with seltzer.
