        Coffee. Had about an ounce of a Russian River chard last night but just to taste it.

        Other than that? Mostly Rhones, Oregon Pinot Noirs and New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs.

              Yep. I just hope I don’t run out of CO2 anytime soon.

                  I've been going to Target and Best Buy to refill my bottles. Costs about $17.00 for a refill.

                  I found a company called SodaSense that refills them via a Netflix DVD model - they send you two bottles, and when you need more, they send another couple, you mail back the empties. Costs about $20 a bottle.

                  I'm getting my first shipment today.

                      It's only a couple of bucks more, but when I go to Target and Best Buy it's a 50/50 shot as to whether they're in stock. This is easier and more reliable.

                      Hope it works.

                          Ax, it seems our fellow forum members are not understanding the concept. We're going to have to figure out what we can do to educate them.

                          I suppose it's best to lead by example in this case, with some elementary pictures and very simple descriptions of corkbook-related products. A tutorial may be needed as well.

                          Ingredients: 1 part to 3 parts gin (to taste), 3 parts tonic water
                          Preparation: In a glass filled with ice cubes, add gin and tonic.
                          Served: On the rocks; poured over ice
                          Standard garnish: A slice or wedge of lime
                          Drinkware: Rocks glass, Highball glass
                          A corkware beverage that brenda enjoys.

                            My quarantine drinking routine has solidified.

                            Friday: 2ish drinks. e.g., a bottle of wine split with the wife (usually a pinot, merlot or cab), o r a couple of beers
                            Saturday: one super nice drink. Last few weeks its been lagavulin.

                            Other than that I'm exclusively water, coffee and sparkling water.

                            Does anyone else get excited by the thought of coffee in the morning just before going to sleep?

                              @xenon Not when I go to sleep, that's weird, man. 😛

                              But in the morning, hell yes.

                              Please love yourself.

                                I´ve been hooked on margaritas lately. With freshly squeezed lemon or lime and mandarin juice. So, it´s pretty healthy!
