Cutty Sark

La Belle Connivence

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

A few days late but here is my annual tribute to Gustav Meier. He was loved dearly by six(?) decades of students and colleagues. As worldly and as sophisticated as he was, this great man had terrible taste in alcohol. There’s a Belgian style brewery near school where he would only order Coors Light from. His go to scotch was Cutty Sark. For wine, he preferred those gaudy Californian merlots that got deservedly dunked on in Sideways. Whenever I brought him a bottle of wine, I always got him a right bank Bordeaux. Perhaps my hints at how wonderful merlot can be were too subtle. It’s been nine years but we all miss him dearly. I may no longer be a conductor but I can still hear many teachings of his as if he is standing next to me. “Get out of their way and just trust them!” I need constant reminders of this invaluable piece of advice whether I am parenting or working with a client. Raise a glass for Gusti! — 3 days ago

Lalande de Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

In honor of Gustav Meier. Of all the wonderful qualities he had, his taste in alcohol was truly awful. Cutty Sark was his favorite. For wines, he preferred Merlot so every time I got him a bottle of wine, I always chose a right bank Bordeaux. So here's to you, Gusti! — 9 years ago

25 Year Old Tam O'Shanter Blend

Cutty Sark 25yr Tam O’Shanter Blend 46.5% - was expecting a bit more given the dark color and age. It’s mild, ok on the finish. Maybe wanted more oomph. — a year ago

Evidently Tam o’Shanter is a famous poem by Robert Burns. People refer to the witch in the poem as Cutty Sark but that’s not her name, it’s instead a comment on what she was wearing. Who knew…

> ‘Cutty Sark’ or Nannie Dee

The witch in Tam o’ Shanter’s real name isn’t Cutty Sark, even though that’s what she’s called in pop culture. A “cutty-sark” was a term for a short, revealing dress or an undergarment, so Tam was being rather rude by calling her that! Robert Burns gave her the name ‘Nannie’ or ‘Nannie Dee’ instead.

Raging Bitch Belgian-Style IPA

Decent intensely malty Belgian style IPA. The free shot is Cutty Sark Prohibition kindly provided by some nut. Surprisingly good and reminiscent of Macallan 12. Whiskey is a 9.0. — 10 years ago
