Islay

It's the busy season at my restaurant and yesterday was a zoo. VIPs and all sorts of people coming in from every direction. Pairings up the wazoo and I had to be in all places at once. We held it together, even when people couldn't decide what they wanted... tasting super slow. Drink already.

Blythe from Naughty Kitchen came to eat and loved everything. She's fun. Brian Grazer and Kofi Annan didn't drink. From my perspective things are looking up in our economy.

After a half bottle of Corton Charlamagne, a guest had a Lagavulin 16 neat and asked about Laphroaig and if they go beyond the 10-year. Lagavulin has a 21, 25 and a 30-year. Laphroaig has 15, 18, 25, 27, 30 and 40-year. Both are Islay... more later gotta go to work.
