After we got home from the Pommard tasting yesterday evening, we decided to have a little something while watching the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka (via TiVo). Carollee had an Averna Amara as a digestiv, while i had some Patron XO Café with a few Piroulines, dark chocolate and hazelnut chocolate. It made a nice finish to the afternoon tasting and a nice accompaniment to the Formula 1 race.
I’m going to reference all of your posts whenever I get the chance to retire so I can model mine after yours, and just insert some surfing in there.
Best get your liver in training.
I am absolutely doing my best.

Around now you need to start selecting and storing wines for the long term. You will also need to develop relationships with restaranteurs. You will also need to have someone near you cook great meals. And you will need to develop suppliers of food products to facilitate meal production.
We started eating in good restaurants with good wine lists before we were married. We were buying wines from good wine shops from the mid-60s. In the mid 70s, when we bought our first home, we started collecting wine for longer term consumption. Our whole adult life has been oriented around the consumption of good food and good wines, enjoyed in the company of good friends.
As I’ve stated before “when I was retiring, co-workers asked me what I was going to do when I retired. I answered, everything I do now, except work”.
Good Luck with your quest.
