A round of drinks

You may want to order the tea today. Do you consider yourself a connoisseur of the coffee bean? Do you know your arabica from your robusta? Then you may want to savor one of the rarest coffees in the world: kopi luwak from Indonesia.
What makes it so prized? Well, The Buzz doesn't want to give anything away - or do another spit take with his Americano - but let's just say it's good to the last dropping.

Speaking of high-priced beverages ... A woman at a dinner party in Washington, D.C., was able to foil a robbery by offering the party crasher a glass of Chateau Malescot St-Exupery.

The robber was so knocked out by the pricey French Bordeaux, he asked for a hug, then left. It's just a shame he didn't stay for the kopi luwak espresso.

Sticking with the theme ... The state's experiment with Sunday hours for state liquor stores has brought in so much revenue that it's expanding the program, this time to the store at Thrasher's Corner.

So you're set if you forgot to go to the liquor store before your Sunday barbecue. However, you won't find any Chateau Malescot St-Exupery, and can rest assured they don't stock kopi luwak.
