Hoilday Shopping with The Mistress

Well, here it is, this great holiday shopping season and the Mistress hadn't even started yet! The only thing I really did all weekend was go to the spa. Which was great. And relaxing. It was also like a scene from The Women, listening to all the upper crust women of our fair hamlet talk about who was doing what and the "Oh, did you hear that Eileen.... yea, that's what I heard!" All I have to say is thank-God gay men don't gossip! Anywhore, I though I really should start my holiday shopping. So being all relaxed, I went right to it!



So I quick daunt up the road to New Hope is my favorite shop, Fine Wine and Good Spirits! Every time I go there it's like being greeted by old friends! And the employees are great too! And ever so helpful. And the free sampling is so much fun at the wine bar in back. After a half dozen samples I set in to the shopping.



The Mistress's personal favorite stiffener of choice-GIN! And Tangaray make this delish concoction called Rangpur! Why it is so smooth, you don't even have to add tonic or lime. It's already in there! I did get a bottle I have to admit!



Baileys always makes for a nice warm me up in coffee or hot chocolate. And it makes a great gift! And a personal note on the shelf below, the Baja Luna is excellent severed very chilled and done as a shot!



Then that brought me to the Schnapps aisle. It was really like seeing old friends! And how over the years the flavors have multiplied.




That brings us to the lovely wine section. I have to admit they have a decent selection of wine, and since I was in need I did pick up a few bottles! I like my wine like my men- Argentian!



Ahhhhhhh, the great Russian beverage-Vodka! And did you know that Sky now makes a great ginger infused vodka great for a ginger sidecar? Trying to pick just one was a feat!



And how can one forget the old faithful-Rum! They have two full aisles of the wonderful drink and it make a great gift, who doesn't like a nice bottle of Rum. And one to have on hand. After spending a good 45 minutes in there I came out with a nice full trolley. And lets just say the silk purse was bitching. And you know what? I didn't get one damn gift for anyone on my list! But at least I was in a good mood the rest of the weekend. Tootles!
