Ffs…
At least a Leeuwin Art Collection…
🍻🍷 The Map of 🇲🇷 Booze thread whatever the title says (or is changed to when moderately intoxicated)
I have a dozen of the Chardonnay in the cellar
Marvellous
My eldest Son decided to hold a party in the sand pit while I was travelling.
About a week later I discovered my Museum edition Leeuwins Hunter Valley Chardonnay open in the Fridge
It cost me A$200 and at the time was worth about US$400
He left vinegar
He has never lived it down, even a Final Tour Genesis ticket didn’t come close
Made it 10x worse!
You really don’t want methanol in it….
Yes I know that but the remedy for methanol poisoning is to get drunk on Vodka of which the boss has a bottle of Grey Goose locked up in his safe.
Didn’t the Italians get into a spot of bother a few decades ago by spicing up their cheap Lambrusco with methanol? I remember the jokes going round at the time about garages buying it up because it was cheaper than antifreeze, or buying Lambrusco in Halfords.
That was Austria…they used Anti-Freeze.
After a coupe of “Broadside to Danny Boy”s (sic) now onto the house red
Buy some - you will not regret it
Do the travelators still talk to you?
Ting Tong da Talk.
Yes of course they do and they still all work unlike most airports
The taste of a Pint of Firecatcher Amber Ale after 11 days without being allowed even a beer.
Oh my days
Why does grappa seem like a good idea after two bottles of wine?
My late father in law used to distil his own grappa, from the byproducts of his winemaking.
I used to be able to drink for England, but a couple of snifters of that grappa absolutely ruined me.
I spent two days of a week long snowboarding holiday in bed after a night on the grappa.
The Italian barman had an eye patch and used mole grips to open the bottle.
I should have read the signs.
To give me a sense of where I am can someone please compare Grappa to [Turkish] Raki.
Grappa is pretty much odourless and tasteless. It’s much like Gentian, or one of the flavourless distilled spirits and doesn’t really have a noticeable taste like raki or ouzo.
It goes down like water and kicks like a fucking mule. You’ll be wondering what all the fuss was about, then find yourself sliding to the floor.
