I am drinking Smoking Loon.....

jeeeeez

Not me. I lost all that stuff in the divorces.

She starts a thread about wine....

And then plays the "I'll just shut up" card when people start in with their own opinions about the subject.

For the record Sensitive Shoes, NO ONE in here agreed with me on the low end cheapo wine being shit most of the time....

So this "you guys just" crap is pretty silly.

[MAX]

Did I equate it to a bottle of Dom?

You guys are in here to make yourselves all feel squishy about your knowledge of fine things. So have at it.

In keeping with feeling "squishy" I must say that Dom's highly overrated. I much prefer Veuve Clicquot and it's about 70 bones cheaper than Dom. Tastes much better as well.

We just had some for one of Emmy's wins and I liked it very much. Seems that the bubbles are much finer than other lesser champagnes. I also like Moet White Star

Remember when Miami Subs tried to be cute and put DP on the menu? Yeah, that idea went over like a pregnant pole vaulter.

Alright Lounge I'll back off the gripe, if you do the same.

But now I'm GOING TO QUIT THE SITE AND NEVER NEVER COME BACK AND NEVER LISTEN TO VAN HALEN AGAIN!!1 EVER EVER EVER!!!!






just kidding

Moet White Star's is excellent. We sold a lot of it. I've had several tastes of Dom over the years and I just don't get the big deal whatsoever? I actually had a bottle of '96 Dom sitting behind my wet bar for years. Finally drank it last summer cos we ran out of beer. lol

The cool little liquor store in town had a bottle of '86 Dom on the counter near the cash register - marked at about 100 bucks - clearly not meant to sell. I have never had Dom. Nor the one with the white flowers all over the bottle. But that one looks really cool

A number of years ago, Moet made a cordial out of champagne and cognac. It was delightful, on the sweet side, in pint size bottles. They discontinued it about 15 years ago much to my dismay. Loved that stuff. And when it was getting phased out, they were selling it for as little as five bucks a bottle.

Are you referring to Perrier-jouet Fleur De Champagne?

This?



It's delicious and cheaper than Dom. I'd still take Veuve though.

[Nickdfresh]

Do you drink beer that you can buy for $3.99/ 6 pack?

Yeah, neither do I.
...

Sometimes I do, even though I'm sort of a snob. In fact, I know I'll take shit for this but I actually drink PBR once in a while as it's become the anti-big label "hipster" beer. It's okay as a 'lawn-mowing beer' on a hot day or if you want to drink more than a few and it's much better than Pudweiser, Miller Low Life. But I counterpoint that by drinking (mostly) Sierra Nevada Ales (the special IPA they have out is the bomb) and I tend to love APAs and IPAs the most. Dogfish is decent, but a bit pricey for what it is.

As far as a cheaper, decent beer, I'd love to try the Schlitz "retro" formula (their left over 1950s throwback recipe before marketing and WWII shortages cheapened and shitty-upped mass brews, or "American adjunct Lagers.") which has gotten some solidly good reviews as a tasty, cheaper beer. But it's not yet available near me...

Honey, if you're shopping at that end of the wine shelf, Arbor Mist has a far better Pinot Noir than Edwards much-appraised 'Loon'...it's over-rated.
Last time I drank Arbors 'Noir', I actually woke up next to a chick I didn't regret fucking the night before.

Think about it, and thank me later.......Arbor, baby!!!

I really like Arbor mist. Blackberry Merlot and I like Peach chardonnay. But I would gather my favorite is actually Canei wine. Yup...it's not major money, but it tastes goooooooooood.

I don't know when everybody became too fucking cool for just regular American lager. Admittedly, Bud and Miller are just bad. But I'll take Coors, Stroh's, Yuengling, etc. if I'm in the mood.

I fucking hate poseurs. The people who drink Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada, et al. would have a dick in their mouth if they weren't drinking that.

[Susie Q]

I hate the taste of beer. I think I recall drinking beer long, long ago...it was the little OV Splits tiny little bottles. Those were not bad. I also had Miller Beer that wasn't bad. But, if I had to go drink that again, it wouldn't happen.

I'll take Southern Comfort, Vodka, Malibu Rum, even parrot bay.


How about a B'52 or mudslide? Kaluha, Baileys, and Vodka.

Ever had a Melon Ball? Melon Liquor and Pineapple juice (Nice summertime slam)

Alabama Slammers.....Kamikazes......good stuff.

Back in the day I also drank Peach Schnapps and Ginger Ale.

During the mid 1980s, whenever one of my friends would go on a sales trip, a group of us would pitch in some cash so he could bring us back some Schaefer. Yup, "the one beer to have when you're having more than one." It could be purchased here for a brief time toward the end of that decade, but sadly has disappeared ever since.
