What Did You Drink Last Night?

Nice! Good choice. A wine from a place that has been making wine since the 12th century.

 

[randooch]

It was yummy. Well beyond my means, too. A friend of mine bought a house from a woman who was recently widowed, whose husband had collected fine wines. She had no interest in wine, however, and asked my friend, "do you mind if I leave those 9 cases in the basement?"

:faint: Uh, sure. Go ahead.

 

[randooch]

Still 7 cases left. I sent her a link to winebid.com to let her know what they're worth, but she seems more interested in the wine than the dollars they would bring at auction.

The one above was middle of the road. Sigh.

Well, it was free to her so she sees no reason to conserve it. Enjoy it while you can.

I'll have to look for this one at the store I go to.
See, his organization is a bit askew.
I know where the Cotes Du Rhone area is, and he has a few bottles to select from. Then he might have Syrah and Shiraz together. Okay I can see that. But the prices are mixed in, and I guess that's to keep someone from just running to a certain section and swiping them, knowing all of those are ultra expensive. I can pick up a $20 dollar bottle of Syrah, and the bottle next to it can be $150. Uh no...$25 is my limit, self imposed. For $150 I'd need to see the feet that stomped on the grapes, and they had better be connected to a nice looking french gal.

You had better inspect those feet then.

Due to financial considerations, only buy blended Scotch. Went in to my liquor store to buy my usual-lower end of the $ spectrum today and was offered Teacher's Highland Cream at about 1/3 its typical price simply because their quality control failed to notice it as a little light for its volume-barely. First time I'd tried it. Mighty fine. Worth twice what I typically pay? Sure. Three times-probably not. Earl

There are some decent single malts at decent prices like McClelland's out there. You just have to look.

I usually drink Cluny or Clan MacGreggor. Pretty good blended Scotches. Earl

Hi, I'll try the Highland Cream sometime. If I'm drinking cheap, I drink Bourbon. The cheapest bourbon is almost as good as some of the best. IN M OPINION, the difference between good Scotch and bad Scotch is light years.

Had a few brews with a couple of Mexicans...

:rofl: Bourbon. :rofl:

Bad Scotch can be pretty darned bad.

Speaking of such, I had some Remy supposedly champagne cognac. It tasted like gasoline cognac. PU!

Is this a reference to getting married? Are congratulations in order?

 

[countryclubjoe]

Hi James

No wedding just yet. LOL, More of a reference to what my lovely date and I were wearing while enjoying the napa valley grapes. ( Casablanca) came to mind... She resembled Ms. Berman or at least she did after the second bottle. LOL
