L'absinthe, c'est la mort!
Monday, 12 December 2005 12:38 PM
Regular readers of My Brilliant Mistakes (and happy holidays to all three of you!) know that I've a deep fondness for all things absinthe.
It turns out that there are others much more obsessed, and they're kind enough to share their love with everyone: Please enjoy the amazing and extensive Virtual Absinthe Museum.
Not only do they have new and antique items for sale -- you can sign up for the waiting list to buy bottles of vintage absinthe from 1915 and earlier -- but they offer extensive notes on fake absinthiana. (Not surprisingly, buyer beware on eBay.)
And yes, any of these items, even the reproductions, would make a delightful holiday gift for yours truly.
Side note: Doesn't the ecstatic redhead pictured above remind you of my choleric avatar? I see a trend here...
