Strange Botwin Report post Posted July 28, 2012 Hello to all you wormwood minded folks out there. This post is especially hard for me to write as I have always aspired to "lurker" status. Alas...it will no longer be so. My wife and I are teachers and had the opportunity to take a European vacation this summer. Along the way we were introduced to absinthe. First experience came in a shot glass and was foul. Second experience revealed a lady fountain with two robinettes and a vast array of absinthes. That was it for me. The whimsical ritual had me mesmerized. We sampled 3 different absinthes and I have never looked back. Luckily I far overbudgeted for the trip and have been able to indulge my new obsession err hobby in a maniacal manner. I will save all my questions about storage and re-corking until I read some threads. I am excited to read your insights. Thanks for having me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strange Botwin Report post Posted July 29, 2012 Wow, what a friendly group. Thank you for all the welcoming comments. Nice to see so many folks from my stomping grounds.

I look forward to discussing the merits of t corks with all of you. Oh and before I forget I have a great little business proposal...Ah just fuckin with y'all.
