How about a trade?  I'll send you naphtha by the gallon to 
clean your Volvo engine in return for even partial bottles 
of single malts.  I'll even pay postage both ways.  <g>

Good choice{s} ... as for myself, I like dry white wines, 
ciders, full bodied reds, cordials, but prefer single malts.  
On special occasions, I serve what was served at both 
Ric's Cafe Americana and Babettes Gæstebud.

How?  Inquiring minds want to know.  

While in Dublin, were you able to visit any of these or 
other Neolithic sites?  

Dowth (passage mound and chamber; 
       winter solstice sunset alignment) 

Knowth (largest passage mound in Ireland; 
        equinox sunset alignment) 

Newgrange (passage mound with corbelled inner chamber; 
           winter solstice dawn sun alignment)
