How much do you drink?

[Outtahere]

In NH (right over the border from me) they have State Liquor Stores, you can buy beer, wine and those prepackaged mixed drinks in grocery stores but the hard stuff is only in the State stores. (it's also cheaper over the line in NH)

I've had some box wines for which the taste was OK for a few weeks, but several boxes that I tried (just some cheap Gallo or Almaden or Fanzia) the taste went bad after a few days (maybe you'd say went from bad to worse), and I had to dump it out.  So I gave up on that.

As for storing until the next day, I did this: Immediately after opening the bottle, I'd pour half of it into a half-sized bottle.  Fill it right to the top, squeeze a cork in, and put it in the fridge.  Still had a very acrid taste the next day.

Al,

What the hell are you drinking? - White zinfandel?

- I'm talking about a good quality Cabernet? - Don't put them in the Fridge! - I just let them sit on the counter! - You have heard of Decanting? - A good Cab will actually improve for 1-2 days on the counter. - Even Uncorked!

Just don't pick up the turpentine by mistake...

OK this may sound like a weird place for wine but I read an article not too long ago about Idaho trying to get big into wine production. Some parts of the state are supposed to have the "right" climate. Has anyone tried wine from there?

No, but I have a strong image in my head of Steve Martin as a waiter in (I think) one of the earlier Muppet movies presenting one of the "finest wines of Idaho". "Would you like to smell the bottlecap?"

A local winery recently admitted that modern bottlecaps are better than corks but that no serious winemaker would dare try it until some French wineries did it. So it only makes sense for Idaho to make wine, too.

(Tempted to post photos of my various moose items from around the house, but I think we're already far enough off topic, and I don't know where my camera batteries are, anyway.)

I'll probably regret posting this and will want to drink turpentine after the S**t storm starts. Something about Beaver Fever Girls Beer Bust.
But let me just say that this is at a much higher level than what our Cut-Throat foisted on us.

No matter how innocent a topic of a post, the thread always seems to digress into sex. Is this what happens in ER? I guess all roads lead to porn?

 

[haha]

I can explain this one. These ladies read the earlier thread about the importance of flossing for heart health. Yet the uniforms that they are required to wear by their employer don’t have a pocket where a girl could keep her packet of floss.

Realizing the paramount importance of gum health, these girls who epitomize the Sisterhood of modern women today are helping one another out with the only implements they have available.

Hey, I just noticed, I'm out of floss too!

Ha

Seems like a pretty good deal - $1 beaver shots. Can someone explain this? Also, there is free pool and parking. You could do a lot worse with your entertainment dollar. God I hope the women on this forum are understanding and forgiving. Bless them...

I don't recall any of the women posting for several pages now. I think this is a man thread at this point. Tsk tsk.

Yep..doesn't matter if they are 18 or a geezer...all roads lead to sex.

Dan, the club is referred to as "FI (squared)" in the ad. Is this the amount of cash you are required to have to frequent this establishment? 8)

You could probably kiss your FI good bye if you went here too often. Kind of place Lawrence from Office Space would go:

Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man, two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a million dollars I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money.
Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well the kind of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
Peter Gibbons: Good point.

I love that movie, my street cred went up ten fold because of this character!

I've got only 1 question. Why?

Maybe you know Trombone Al?

I can't believe it. To misquote W. C. Fields: Who put the pineapple juice in those pineapples.

You need independent verification, post a pic and we'll let you know!

Or is one of the above you?

No, Utah....aka...Happy Valley.

I live in Central PA which is also known as "Happy Valley."

I'm guessing that anyone reading this topic has one in hand.
I'm nursing a glass of that Round Hill that I pulled from my wine cellar.
I'm hoping that with your help we can move on well past the post of Miss Dairyland Wisconsin
On second view, nursing is not a good word choice in the same message that includes Miss Wisconsin..

Thank you Cube Rat for getting us back on target topic.
