Mare, I have some good Canadian (ie REAL) beer for you. Maybe you'll only need one!

Zaphoon · 11-13-2009, 07:35 PM

Mare, I find your honesty about it all very refreshing. I'm laughing with you but I have to admit, this is something I would like to witness with you, first hand.

Spank me now! I'm shameful!

Barry & Kim-

If I didn't know better, I'd think you two were trying to get me drunk! lol

Zaphoon · 11-13-2009, 07:41 PM

I plead the 5th!

I can't speak for Kim but as for me all I can say is "Who, me? I'm the guy with garlic in my smoothie!

We were given a bottle of 2007 Ass Kisser Shiraz [South Australian]. They gave it to us for the label, has a cute mule on it, (Glen, you would like it, although you're a smart ass rather than a kisser from what I can tell )

It has a screw cap, and it is good! Not great, its not tell everyone you know good (although I did just put this on the internet LOL) but very drinkable, don't think its expensive at all, Under 12$

I'm going to look for it just for the label!!!!

Me too ! Sounds like a great present for hubby.
Rose can you give me red wines that aren't dry? I really don't like the mouth feel of those. Do love fruity ones though!
Barry, Ray had a guy from Chicago working with him last week. Got him drunk on Canadian.Then they fed him poutine! He was looking for biscuits and gravy poor man! Hope they got him hooked!

"We were given a bottle of 2007 Ass Kisser Shiraz [South Australian]."

Rose, that reminds me of a beer that I had when we visited Utah last year. It was called "Polygamy Beer" and on the label it also said "Bet you can't have just one!" and "Take some home to your wives!". I wish I had brought an empty back with me.

Hi Rose, and others.
We in South Australia and i guess Australia are in a bit of a wine glut at the moment and you can pick up quiet good wines for not much.

I dont know what ones are good, especially in the red range as i am not a great red drinker. (pitty as i live app 50km from one of the premier red wine regions)

I will do some digging though and try and come up with some that might be available over there.

cheers
Peter

Colleen, try the Corvo red wine from Sicily. It is a bright red wine and quite juicy, not too dry and delicious. I love it! It's under $15 and easy to find.

KeeKer · 12-07-2009, 12:55 PM

Thanks Rosella, I'll see if they have it in my liquor store in my little city.

Zaphoon · 12-07-2009, 05:22 PM

In this weekend's forum follies, I mentioned a wine called, "Menage a Troit" bottled by Folie A'Deux winery, St. Helena, Napa County, California. It is delicious and not dry!

I found another tasty wine! This one is Santa Ema Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon Maipo Valley 2008 - product of Chile.

While shopping, I found some stuff in gallon glass jugs for the same price as that of a bottle for far less (750ml). Maybe I should buy the gallon jug stuff!

The benefit I get is that it a glass or two really takes the edge off of the leg cramps. The doc has discouraged me from prescription drugs due to side effects but my fear is that this wine bibbing stuff is going to turn me into an alchoholic.

This one is for Peter. I found an Australian brand of wine called "Yellow Tail". Their Cabernet Sauvignon is very tastey! Have you tried this one Peter?

(Rose, nice thread!)
