Yeah, I don't know why the vintage, well aged scotches are so freaking expensive, compared to their newer, longer cask-aged compatriots. But the neuro crud, that forced my on-the-wagoneering, has had the lone benefit of increasing the value of the old booze collection. Substantially, evidently. Frankly, back in my consuming days, I thought the 18 y.o. was better than the 25 y.o., regardless of acquisition cost.
On the Name Game front, how 'bout the lesser-known, but still nice California places......
Pacific Grove, Carpenteria, Muir Woods, Encinitas, Mill Valley, Cambria, Rancho Bernardo, Point Reyes......,
it's like we've got an endless supply of OS names here.
And a personal shout out to (beachside) Hollister Ranch; not to be confused w/ Hollister (sans "Ranch"), the up and coming Gilroy suburb.
(and a far, far cry from the desert, valley digs of the Spahn [Spawn of Satan] Ranch....)
