No, 2004 wasn’t a fluke. The Red Sox just won the 2007 World Series. And incidentally, Manny Ramirez knows more about baseball than you do.
Let’s not stop drinking bubbly ’til New Year’s!
In victory, you deserve champagne. In defeat, you need it. — Napoleon
Three be the things I shall never attain: Envy, content and sufficient champagne. — Dorothy Parker

"Lauren Clark takes readers on a supremely sudsy tour of New England ales, lagers, pilsners, and porters. This is the New England the Puritans warned everybody about, but few have chronicled."

Jackson Cannon (invented at Eastern Standard)
1 1/2 oz gin
3/4 oz Martini and Rossi Bianco vermouth
1/2 oz Bauchant Orange Liqueur
1/4 oz Fernet-Branca
Stir well over ice and serve straight up. Garnish with flamed lemon twist. This cocktail is named for a regular Friday-night customer who was standing “in queue” when Jackson created this drink for her as a replacement for the Hoskins, “as I was running out of the then famous 164-bottle stash of Amer Picon that I picked from a dusty corner of the Martignetti warehouse.”

Even though I grew up in South Carolina, my dad was born and raised in Somerville, Mass. I learned my love of the Red Sox from him. But God bless my dad, he was born in 1918 and died in February 2004 and never saw his Sox win a series in all of his 86 years. It was amazing to see them win in 2004 and again this year, but it sure makes me miss my dad. So, in your celebrating, please raise a glass and toast all those fans who went their entire lives without witnessing and enjoying what we have celebrated twice in three years.

Walt, that is heartbreaking. We can only hope your father is out there somewhere celebrating.
