Per the description from Khamen in the original event, the following are the rules:

quote:


Simple rule - on Friday 28th of April, you have to pop a bottle that you only have ONE of in the cellar - whether it's a singleton purchase or a bin end. Whether it's a special bottle or the last of a daily drinker pile is down to you.

Post on this thread what it was and how it was.

Together we can drink our way to a tidier cellar!

Who is in?

K


We've been fairly liberal in allowing the consumption of the Last Puppy to occur anytime during the weekend.

Who's with me?



Here are the prior threads:

2012 Edition

2013 Edition

2014 Edition (yes, we missed 2014, because, well... the link sums it up)

2015 Edition

2016 Edition

You know, because it's either that or get some actual work done, and that's less fun.

Meanwhile, will enjoy reading the LP exploits of others.

Ducru Beaucaillou 1994

It will go well with my rib eye and salad... and it is only 12% alcohol so perfect for a single drinker! Had 2/3s of a bottle of something Toscana Rosso yesterday that was 14.5% and I am still feeling it...

I'm still thinking Saturday or Sunday will be best for us. Leaning towards 2010 Passopisciaro if my wife can finally kick the head cold that's been lingering for three weeks now...something a bit humbler if not.

Nothing wrong with an early start to the festivities! The rules are more suggestions, as it were. Kind of like the moratorium guidelines.

I'll likely be opening my as-yet-to-be-determined Last Puppy on Saturday night. I was thinking of my last bottle of 2008 Passopisciaro, but since I just opened a 2012 a couple of nights ago, I'll likely go with another option. So many choices!

Ah, but we sometimes DO need an excuse to drink that last bottle of something, so here it is!

I think I'll probably open my last bottle of 2012 Broc Cellars Cabernet Franc. This may be my favorite all Cab Franc wine.

Oooh I agree that 12 Broc CF was a fantastic wine...sadly I blew through mine long ago.

Tonight for Last Puppy it's going to be a 2004 Domaine Bois de Boursan Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée des Félix looking forward to it.
