Blind Tasting

A Narcos: Mexico Fanfiction.

Set somewhere between The Chef and The Observer

Other work in the same universe: The After Party

I DID say it was gonnabe a one-shot but it had to turn into a two-part. I guess I'm improving slowly, right?

Rating: M+/R

Characters: (whoelse?) Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo, female OC (yes, The Chef), Daniela, male OC.

Warnings: Smut, PWP, coarse language, extra-marital affairs, fantasizing/obsession.

Summary: Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo can have anyone he wanted in his bed at anytime - but that doesn't stop him from obsessing about the one he can't always have with him.

Disclaimer: As usual, not glorifying the real people, just borrowing the TV series characters for my own fun.

PART I : Strawberry Coulis

PART II: Watermelon Glaze

Discovering Mexico’s Wine Regions: The Best of Red and White

Mexico’s Wine Revolution: Exploring World-Class Reds and Whites in a Rising Global Contender When we think of world-class wines, our minds often wander to the rolling vineyards of France, the sunlit hills of Italy, or the rich terroir of Portugal. But Mexico, with its burgeoning wine culture, is quickly earning its place among these wine-producing giants. Let’s embark on a journey through…

Tin Soldiers

Quick notes of a few of these since people have asked… Tyler chard and Bourgeois Les Baronnes open on arrival as samples… both clean and nice: the former a tightly-wound COMPLETELY un-slutty version and the latter an equally un-(insert typical SB descriptor which I refuse to stoop to) version, all clean with slight grass and alpine acidity. 17 Ancient Oaks RRV was full and beautiful, but kinda…

Perspective | We tried 20 store-bought mac and cheese brands to determine which is the best (and the absolute worst)

We tried 20 different macaroni and cheeses, for journalism.

Islay Blind Tasting Challenge

I want to get a friend to help me challenge myself to identify each of the Islay whiskys I own based only on the aroma and taste of each.

I think I can, they are each pretty distinct: Ardbeg 10 Year Old is all peat smoke and sea spray, wrapped around a chocolatey-toffey core with citrus hints. Bowmore 12 Year Old is gentler on the smoke, with just slight brininess, and some maltiness lending it a sort of “damp cardboard” character Bruichladdich Scottish Barley (The Classic Laddie) is unpeated, with some fruity notes from the wine casks in the batch, but lots of honey and malty notes Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old is very lightly peated, with oodles of maritime character, bready malt flavors, and lots of sherry influence. Cragabus is a cracking blend of all Islay whisky from Douglas Laing, with Ardbeg, Laphroaig, Bowmore, and even a little bit of Port Ellen! Lagavulin 8 Year Old is raw and smokey, maybe even as smokey as the Ardbeg 10 year old, but with more meatiness and sherry influence. Laphroaig 10 Year Old has more woody smoke, and a little less than the Laga 8 or ardbeg 10, but its richer, thicker, and heavier than either. McClelland’s Islay is the budget entry, but its alright I guess, it is a lot like the Bowmore 12 but lesser, and a little more briny. 

I will either do well, or badly embarrass myself.
