Cuervo and ginger ale. It's not too bad...could use a lemon, though.

Gosling's rum and Pomegranate juice (not grenadine syrup) with a splash of Gerolsteiner water.

That sounds much more interesting. I wish I had that instead!

Do you keep one of those tall skinny tasters' books for Scotch that have a space on the page for your own notes? I've got a couple myself. You can stick them into a coat pocket.

bluecuracao · 08-20-2006, 01:47 AM

So unfair.

That is not a half-bad idea. My taste for scotch has refined over the last couple years so notes may not be pointless. I'll need to learn the language. Usually I just ask my extremely Scottish (step) father-in-law, who visits the distilleries when he's back on the old sod. This bottle was a very well considered and received birthday gift from the man himself.

Last night's vintage was Nissley Vineyard (Lancaster County PA) - Fantasy Rose` and a good friend's home crafted Raisin Rice Wine.

footfootfoot · 08-20-2006, 09:39 AM

How's the head? Sounds like it might taste great, but leave you with internal bruising of the brain.

Still, can we get the recipe?

Dagney · 08-20-2006, 10:23 AM

For the Raisin Rice?

I can ask him tomorrow. No headache at all - it's nice and mellow.

From what hes said however, it takes a few years for it to get to a place where it's worth drinking.

Urbane Guerrilla · 08-23-2006, 01:34 AM

There are such things as Scotch tastings, which should amount to seminars on how to describe taste elements in Scotches. About my favorite Speyside Scotch is Balvenie Doublewood; the stuff is as complex as a fullbodied red wine, and with the typical Speyside sweetish graininess.

Aliantha · 08-23-2006, 03:07 AM

White wine at the moment. Nothing better than a couple after a busy day at work.

Is there a 'grape glut' in the US or anywhere else at the moment?

There is in Oz. This makes for very good and VERY reasonably priced bottled table wine. Lucky me!!!

breakingnews · 08-23-2006, 03:48 AM

Just had a bubble tea (straight up black milk tea - I can't stand those weird flavored varieties).

My friends are split on bubble tea. Most like it, many do not. Those who have had, what's your vote?

(Oh wow, I always thought it was called bubble tea because of the tapioca pearls, but apparently that is not the case!)

Undertoad · 08-23-2006, 07:44 AM

I think there are more wine grapes grown in the US right now, but more people drinking premium wine to make up for it!

The Oz wines are excellent and affordable even around the other side of the world. We get plenty of the Lindemans around here.

Bubble teas are excellent, but I prefer the weird flavored varieties.
