What Did You Drink Last Night?

[jamespowers]

Beer is so much better in the bottle...and with some types on tap. I never buy it in cans.

Yeah me either but I am even more finicky. I don't buy them without corks in bottles.

Have you seen the glass nipple in wine bottles?
I've had some Italian wine like that, and I've got to say it's a bit easier if you have an older vintage (ie 8-9yrs old).
There are some makers I avoid because I've run across too many "crumbly" corks.
If I wanted to go fishing with a cork, I'd go to the lake!
My latest find is a wine from Argentina with a screw-cap.
Not bad....not great, but not bad.

A screw cap?! :faint: No crumbly corks in my Ovila. However, I have had crumbly corks in every bottle of Amrut scotch I have ever bought. lol lol I keep extras around for just such and emergency---otherwise I would have to drink the whole bottle. You sure you haven't tried wine in a box?

I could try wine in a box, but I have a comfy chair I like to enjoy it in.
If I get a broken cork, I have some spares as well, usually from Walmart.
I bought a really heavy one (made by oxo) at Target years ago, but when you put it on the bottle it's then too tall to stand in the fridge!

The spares I have are from other empty scotch bottles. You mean in a rocking chair?

A Grey Goosed screwdriver.

Shorty glass.

In Shorty glass or the can?

Is that an absolute rule? The latest edition of Bottleworks Imagination Series (XII), made for them by the Bruery (one of your Orange County operations) came in a capped 750.

Oh, free is always good.

 

[jamespowers]

No, one of these.

You need a leather one. My grandmother used to knit on one of those.

The beer has to be really special for me to try it without a real cork.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

And if it's free, take two.

Oh, free is always good.

Well Plano is now a fully wet city, and I stopped off at the bottle shop on my way home last night to see what they had. I bought a bottle of Johnny Walker Black label last night to give it a go. Not generally one for blended whiskey...but it's not bad. I was hoping they'd have my Bulleit Rye, but even though they didn't said they'd order it in for me.

Black tastes like strong water to me. There is just no flavor---but then again, I am used to scotch which has a multitude of flavor no matter where it is from.
