Stumbled on some **Brandy (Fortified Fruit wine)** that I had made years ago. Bottles dating between 22 and 28 years old. Forgot I had the stuff and got lot’s of it! Smoooooth! Goes down very easy but catches up with you. As I recalI, even in moderate quantities I might find myself passed out on the couch unsure when it happened. **Paired with a Red Wine YYF Confusion** ![cherry brandy w: Confusion](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/c/8/6c868ba641ce44d3d5d0acc89188c8c7c324f41b.jpeg) ---

A cold night is perfect wassle weather. Pairing it with a Rainier running spikes and a OD flat makes for a real feel good sesh. (Recipe below) ![IMG_2383](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/3/a/33a233b572e272067c464657f7d673587bc1017d.jpeg) (A gallon of cider, a container of concentrated OJ, put em in a pot to simmer with whole cloves, cinnamon sticks and honey for 3 hours.) The best part is when the smell of it simmering permeates your whole house. It’s awesome. ---

Not successful, but left to tinker, he through opportune accident developed the first synthetic organic dye - sparking the modern chemical, synthetic dye industry. Resulting purple color known also as Mauveine, a color hugely popular after roy-al-ty Queen Victoria wore it in1862. So many connections but, **where does purple link to the yo-yo?** Purple spin color on purpose or an opportune accident? ![deep mauvine](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/7/9/a793b2c2fb743f3229529720f9f29b07a7e05427.jpeg) ---
