You can't fly on one wing.

Ha, ha, I will buy another bottle today. The vacation is still going on.🍾

Very nice and expensive. To have in Germany for €594 per bottle.

  the best for casual everyday
  

@Cargo pants; investing in spirits.....Opus one....
Did you store this wine on a constant temperatur between 10 and 14 C* since 2006?

Of course except transporting from the States to Poland.I do have a regulated wine cooler.

Did they get a whiff of your poopy pants?


Do you drink Mad Dog 20/20 as well?

I dont know ...maybe you can call citizens hotline and ask them.....OH Wait you can show them your stamped passport that you were in Poland lololololol


YES,I did during my time but sold cases .......did you like the grape flavor?

Remember "dont sip a hot drink if you cant take the heat" SON.

Due to the Ukrainian victory in Cherson it's time for a "better" wine. This time I have found Chateau Marquise de Terme 2007 in my cellar. It is 4eme Grand Cru Classe 1855 Bordeaux wine. So it is a wine from the Wine Olympus. Price today €50-100. I have bought some 10 bottles 10 years ago. There are only 2 left. Now it is the best time to drink this wine. 2007 vintage was not a superiore but now after 15 years it's no more important. Wine for a dinner today.

Hey, Forum people, what do you used to drink at Christmas?

Used to before?

Certainly the masses tend to drink whatever is marketed at them over the holiday season and that changes over the years.

Nothing or Campari with orange juice.

We just had Martini with squeezed orange juice. Not bad.

At 9am? LOL

The best drink I've ever had is called a Rum Runner. I used to drink them at the "Top O Mast" when I lived on Ft. Myers, bh.

The place is out of business, so are all of them. I suppose, it was a good call to move back home.

I hate wine though. Havent had a glass of that swill in over 20 years.

Beer is more sophisticated anyhow:)

We had late afternoon.

Campari and soda

Not very christmassy but hits the spot.

Better than sweet sherry

Isn't it very bitter?

Its 5 o'clock somewhere... Dean Martin style haha

Dean Martin was a great joker and played the drunkard brillantly.
Did you know that he was almost T Total?

It was supposedly all an act. He did a brilliant job if he wasnt drunk.

Do you know how to avoid a hangover? Stay drunk!...Dean Martin

Have you ever seen W.C. Fields?

Yes, quite bitter. That's its appeal, very dry. Nice to add to a sparkling wine as they do around Venice.

Holy ole headaches afterwards.

Not if it's good quality wine, and in any case you only have a few glasses.

Why ruin a good quality wine ?


It's never good to mix alcholic drinks such as beer and whiskey or whiskey and wine or wine and beer.
Any professional drinker knows that causes serious hang overs.
Campari is an Italian alcoholic liqueur obtained from the infusion of herbs and fruit in alcohol and water.
To mix that with a quality sparkling wine sounds like a vomit inducing headache to me.
Sounds like something Ha Ha Hairy would drink for a Christmas drink.

Ruin?

Spritz Veneziano is a classic drink, With Campari, Aperol or Select.

Haven't you had it in Venice at sunset? Thousands do daily.


I prefer Picon, which of course in France is traditionally mixed with beer.

Classic drink in Italy is Chianti Classico.🍷
