With the cornucopia of flavors that cover the Thanksgiving dinner table, it's easy to become overwhelmed when choosing the perfect drink pairing. But don't fret; we've done some homework for you. From a distiller to a winemaker, and from a brewmaster to a coffee buyer, we asked some folks from the drinks world what they'll be imbibing next weekend and the foods they'll be pairing alongside.
Lance Winters, distiller at St. George Spirits in Alameda, California, suggests starting the afternoon off with an apple toddy made by heating three ounces of fresh Gravenstein apple juice with one cinnamon stick and mixing a mug of the hot, spiced juice with one ounce of barrel-aged apple brandy. "I also use a bit of the apple brandy to deglaze the turkey pan," he says. "It makes a fantastic base for the gravy, and complements the cider nicely."
"I'm doing a whole roasted guinea hen with mustard and herbs," says Greg Harrington, master sommelier and owner of Gramercy Cellars in Walla Walla, Washington. "It's a Daniel Boulud...

...a thirteen year-old who fasted and prayed today while his grandpa A. was in surgery for prostate cancer.
...a grandpa who seems to have 9 lives and counting! We got the happy call today that the surgery went very well.
...our cat Milo. He came home! After a week of sadness we were reunited with our lost kitty. He had taken up residence with a family up the street...so we'll know where to look if it happens again. I didn't know how much I cared until he was gone (insert cheesy love song). So it's a love fest around here. In this picture he is sleeping:
...a boy who gets up and makes a good hearty breakfast for himself nearly every day. His specialty? Omelet with sausage and cheddar. Way to go, Sam!

I spent approximately 3 hours on Friday mourning the fact that once again, I would not be climbing in crisp, sunny fall weather. Before Hazel was born, we hardly ever climbed with anyone else because you don't need more than two people to climb. As an added bonus, Barkernews and I like to spend time together. So it was win-win for everyone involved. Then Hazel came along and we quickly realized that we needed something we didn't before: Climbing Friends. Not only do we need Climbing Friends, we need Climbing Friends that are as in to it as we are and by that, I mean climbing buddies who would rather climb than mow their lawn, clean their house or run other mundane errands.
So, if you are that person, speak up.
In the meantime, I am spending my weekends staring at Hazel (did you know that she got CUTER? I know, I didn't think it was possible either.) and tamely pedaling my bike and walking on beaches.

"Let's have the holidays at our house this year!"
