What are you drinking?

[TerryO]

Yes, let's see, right, I taste a hint of almonds, some citrus maybe, overtones of raspberry--- hey, wait a minute, that tastes like bondo!!!
Starbucks indeed-you'd think they invented coffee!
Best, Don

Hi Don,

Starbuck's marketing people have tried to create that illusion.

To tell you the truth, it's almost indispensable for getting rid of the aftertaste of a big helping of Lutefisk or Haggis.
In my opinion, Kerosene is really a very poor substitute!

Best Regards,
Terry

Tea. Strong, milk and one sugar.

SY: I'm thinkin' St. Pere sous Vezelay -- L'Esperance. Time for a trip back to Burgundy.

Thanks to Scottmoose for cluing me into Bushmills Black Bush or 10yr Single Malt Irish as a pleasant change from my go to favorite - Basil Hayden Kentucky Straight.

Of course when you feel like less taste and more burn - Russian Standard.

Of the reds, I'm quite partial to the Argentinian Mendoza region Malbecs

Chris is pulling your leg, he's partial to nearly anything over 8-10 proof. I sure wish he could try some of our justly famous Kickapoo Joy Juice.

Tonight a nice little port - from Port-ugal, of course. So nice to have a bar and Lionel Hampton in the listening room.

I haven't heard that term since Lil'Abner was in the comics.

And that was not recent.

If I may be so bold as to make a couple of suggestions, based on my reputation as an acknowledged authority and the Western Hemisphere's foremost Commonsewer of Beverages, that a Chateau Fleebight '09, or perhaps, a bottle of Olde Underware #26 might meet with your approval.

I am sadly out of the '70 Musar (one of the three or four greatest red wines I've ever had), but plenty left of the '83, '85, '86, '87, and '88. It's not a wine for everyone- volatile, oxidative, dirty- but there's something about it which is just compelling.

 

[jackinnj]

We will be havin' some "Chateau Fleet Street", aka planq as I got a new DVD player and Rumpole will be rollin'

 

[SY]

I thought that was Chateau Thames Embankment?

 

[Pano]

Not Chateau LWT?

 

[18Hurts]

Blue Moon Ale,

Wine gives me a headache so I leave it alone.

 

[badman]

Absolut Mandarin and sprite this evening. Gettin' girly drink drunk while reading Badass of the Week

Yes, gentlemen, I *AM* that pathetic.

 

[aardvarkash10]

Rumpole would be and El Vino's house red... My ex worked in the wine g=bar that the person Rumpole was based on drank at (a lot...)

I'll enquire.

 

[Johnny2Bad]

I like a good black rum drink ... Cuba Libre's tonite (or at least the way I make 'em).

Build on ice in a collins or double hiball glass
1.5 oz Gosling Black Seal Dark Rum (Bermuda)
With a juice press, juice 1/2 lime, add juice, discard the rest
Boyen's Cane Cola ... to 1" from the top (about 4 oz if you iced the glass right)
Club Soda to the top
Squeeze of 1/4 lime, drop in glass


Listening to Chris Knight via a pair of Ultimate Ears Superfi 5 Pro [in-ear canal headphones]

Enjoy!

 

[Variac]

I always say " If you can't be bothered to put the lime in a R & C to make a Cuba Libre you are on the slippery slope to oblivion.. "

Myself, I'm having a shot of Mt. Gay "Extra Old" from a bottle my wife gave me for my birthday..

Romulan Ale

Southern Tier Un*Earthly is as close as you can get to Romulan Ale without actually going to Romulus.
