I love the wine. Do I drink to much

So I’m sit at home today drinking a Stella Artois and then I see an empty bottle of beer next to it. Oh yeah that’s were the other one went to. I think to my self. That’s the beer from ten minutes ago. Then there is the empty bottle of wine on the table from last night.
So I walk out side to look at the empties, now the pick up was Monday and there are eight bottles of wine in there. Now lets take a look at what David has been drinking. Well there is Mt. Veeder, Hess, Cakebread, Ruffino Gold, Whitehall Lane, Beringer, Mondavi, and plumpjack. Do you have any idea how much money that is? To make the worst I went to a wine tasting on Sunday and tried around 300 wines. There was a hell of a lot more there, I stayed with the good stuff. Dom, Stags Leap, Cyrus, Turn Bull, and others.
You know I think I’m all out of Gin. Maybe I should go to the store.

David - you've got wonderful taste!!!
Too bad we can't get together for a toddy - it seems like I could learn alot from you...
My knowledge base on "the good stuff' ain't so voluminous as yours, though the other day, in celebration of a friend's wedding, we killed 5 bottles o' bubbly:
Moet & Chandon; Trouillard's and Perrier Joet.
Later that night, I was found "napping" on the lawn!
Damn, those might have been good memories, too!

Me likes Stella Artois

Well David ask yourself, is this my usual average or am I just having one of those weeks? Whenever I do something with friends, they want me to drink so now I'm *thinking* about cutting back to where I only drink when I get payed.

"So now I only drink after I get my pay,
'cause you can't get by living this way"


maybe they're right?

Just buy tons of Orange Juice and drink that instead, and then drink on the weekends

BTW Wine still hasn't grown on me.

Look into home-made...$3 a bottle and it is very drinkable...I mean, it would be plunk compared to a Mondavi Costal, but its not THAT bad...

Hmm lets see, 2 oz sample of each x 300 samples =



Hell, enjoy yourself! You only go around once...you appreciate good wine and beer...its not like your tossing back a 24 of Bud Lite in the back of a '82 Chev pick-up with gun racks and a garder hanging from the rear-view mirror...

Thanks. I'm not a big fan of od the ols bubbly but I can tell the good bottle from the bad (or cheap). I stick mainly to reds. which Perrier Joet was it? the flower bottle "92 is Damn good. Moet & Chandon, white star I don't like taste like apple cidder to me. If you don't want to spend to much money two good ones are Canel Canel Cuvee from Spain or J from Cali. yes it's just J.

first: yes they give you 1 to 2 oz. some almost filled the glass. but you can't drink that much and then walk. this took 4 hours and when i left I think I was sober.

secound: it was not mondavi coastal. NAPA man, Napa.

Last: the only red Grape that seem to grow here is Concord.
