P4GTR Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 For those of us that indulge in a drink once or twice (or more) a week. I bring you what I hope to be... Just a simple post of what you've selected to kick back with for the evening will suffice. There is no timestamp on this thread, update at will, and often! Maybe you're enjoying a fine hand rolled cigar or hand rolled what-have-you with your cocktail? Maybe you feel like posting a pic, maybe including the watch you wore today? Don't have to, but you can! Enjoy, post, elaborate, ramble on in a drunken stupor if it serves you well. (How do you think I got my post count?) I open the thread with a special bottle of wine. An inexpensive bottle of Penfolds. Better than most wine twice its price to my uneducated palette; I purchased a case of it to have at my wedding. I usually drink rum, vodka, or beer. This bottle is the first from the case, a taste test for my wedding 8 days from today. The bottle is almost gone. So if I may, Here's a toast. To RWG! and if I may, to my up coming wedding! Salute! So, what are you drinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Nice call on the Penfolds my friend! Definitely want to give it a try before you hand out bottles of it for your wedding! I've always been a big fan of it! Especially their Cab/Shiraz blends! Lately my wine of choice is a beautiful wine from Santa Ynez Valley, CA called Gainey. They make a great Syrah, and their 2006 Reserve Merlot is outstanding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 @vlydog, MMMMMmmmmm Rye! Have you tried this: Until Prohibition New York was known for its rye whiskey.

vlydog Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Red, I have never quite acquired a taste for gin but every now and again I will give it a try. This is by far the best gin I have ever sampled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is by far the best gin I have ever sampled. Yeah, it's not that cheap (but not too expensive), but it's worth every penny. It has such an enticing aroma!! And it tastes amazing!

P4GTR Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Overhyped or not, I've always wanted to try absinthe. So my soon to be (5 days away) wife had her bridal shower this weekend. I helped her make a huge punch bowl full of sangria for the occasion. Those girls didn't drink hardly any of it, so it wound up back in our fridge. I've drank a good gallon of it over the past two days, drinking the last cup as I type this. wine, fruit, brandy, etc. headache be damned, can't let a good beverage go to waste. No longer my thing, I used to enjoy some herbal blends with my beverages. Some really good vodka from holland called bong vodka came out. I made a souvenir out of one of the bottles. Tasty tasty.

ChipSlap Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Bong Vodka? I love it! Phineas, I know what we're going to do today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opti Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 When it comes to reds I love a Shiraz. my coctail pallet is refined and I stay away from the sweet ones now, but that puts me in with the heavy boys like the martini. Really do enjoy an "Old fashion" too. A must for any lover of bourbon or scotch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anguz Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) I'm a real ale, Canadian beer, and Scotch drinker myself. But I have been on a red wine kick as of late. Edited March 13, 2010 by Anguz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Cranberry mojito. It's been cool and cold...so why not something a little cool to remind you of summer. We muddle up some fresh cranberries with the mint and sugar and lime and rum...strain it and add the soda water. Yum...and somewhat wintery with the cranberries.
