    for any Solemn Oath fans, they'll be pouring for a tasting at Foremost Liquors in Arlington Heights (1776 W Algonquin Rd) tomorrow, Friday the 13th from 6 - 8 p.m. I'm typically found there most Fridays for mini-bottle shares. Come one come all! Great bottle shop if you've never been; good guys running the place too.

    I'll be there a little after 5 p.m. - stop by if you can, bring a bottle of something if you want.

    I think Sean or Brad or Sean and Brad. The Chocolate Rain and I may have contributed equally to their winnings...

    sorry I couldn't make that last share/poker game. How was that CCB Leon? CR would've been awesome to try too.

    I will be at Foremost as well. Look for the hunk in the jean shorts and cutoff Whitesnake t-shirt.

    Both were really good although I wasn't as pleased with the Leon as I had expected to be. I think it had already peaked and was past its prime.

    Anyone here have any interest in doing another tasting anytime in the next few months? I have a decent sized location to host at if no one else wants to...
