And ours has an imported beer row where you can make your own six-pack of any six bottles you want from virtually anywhere.

Gimme some examples of "virtually anywhere"

 

[imjustagirl2]

I don't know. Hell it was like a year and a half ago I did it. But I know I got them from six different countries...it was my own little beer-tasting voyage.

I am a BIG fan of the Coppola wines. I prefer white, too, spnited. We had a Coppola with Thanksgiving dinner and it was fantastic.

White zinfandels and Rieslings are reliable at a reasonable price. Most any other kind is too bitter or too heavy for me.

Stopped at Total Wines on the way to my cousin's a week before XMas...saw the Coppola Pinot, remembered my sister and ex-GF had had a Coppola red at dinner in NYC one night so I decided to try it. Loved it.
The following week, was going to my other sister's house for XMas. She e-mailed mid-week wondering if I might be bringing a few bottles of "that very good Coppola" with me on XMas day.
Needless to say, we went through 3 bottles of Pinot on Xmas.

Wow, ex....that would explain the major slamming of pinot. I myself went for the rum and Diet Coke tonight.

 

[spnited]

Not slamming any Pinot tonight, dools.

As for the white zinfandels, my 86-year-old mother loves the stuff. Nuff said about dooley's taste in wine.

Your mom isn't younger than you!

Spnited, in Dooley's defense, it is the kool-aid of wine. He can easily drink it without having too much of the "wine" flavor.

 

[dooley_womack1]

Spnited boosts of his wine prowess and of his hard liquor prowess. I think the dude is a lush.

And my mother thinks her 2 daughters and 1 son drink far too much wine at holiday dinners.

But I have never talked about hard liquor "prowess" .. only that I like my Grey Goose on the rocks.

I always enjoyed the literary symbolism of the wine cellar as a place of evil.

I once had a game where the baddies hung out in the wine cellar. Sadly, I stumbled across this fact accidentally with bad results.

Battle No. 2 was a different story. Evil No. 1 bit the dust, and Evil No. 2 promptly ran like the coward he was.

You can get a very good bottle of wine for $10-15 actually. My wife and I (well, just me for the next eight months) usually pick up a Shiraz by Penfolds.

Congrats, Expendable

Thanks Cadet.

Agree with the Penfolds, Australian, Coppola and Wine Spectator suggestions. I'd add Chile. The spouse has been going to weekly wine tastings for about 15 years now. I go now and then, but not as much as when we started.

Robin Williams (step?) brother has some nice wines under the Toad Hollow brand. Very nice guy. Met him at a tasting.

I've just got into drinking wine recently, so I'm no expert, but I'm a big fan of Steel Creek if you want a good, inexpensive red. Both the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Pinot Noir are fantastic.

Oh sweet mercy.

If I ever decide to drink a whole bunch of cheap Sangria again, someone please try to tell me BEFOREHAND that wine hangovers are similar to being posessed by the devil.

You think you've gotten it all out, and you try to hurl, but there's just nothing left..........I think I would have peuked up my large intestine if it wasn't still attatched.

Webby, Mod, Ida, Gutter........someone........please delete this ****in' thread post haste.........if I ever see anything about wine again, I will hunt every one of you ****ers down.

Working on a bit of a wine hangover myself. Went to some place in the Village last night to meet up with an old friend. The place doesn't take reservations, so we killed about two bottles of a decent cabernet blend while waiting to be seated. As usual, didn't drink enough water and I didn't take Advil before sleep. A bit of a slow and over-caffinated morning.

Uh........a bit here also.

I'm on my 3rd Black Bomb......(Red Bull/Coffee mixed.)
