The Booze Thread (formerly the Manhattan)

I was once offered wine by a family member. When I located the bottle it read "MD 20/20". Just no.

 

Mad dog challenge was never fun

 

When you can see the grape peels floating around in the bottle you know what to do.... Pass it on by...

 

Beer is starting to effect me a lot for some reason. Wine is fine for me. These days I drink a lot more wine. Just not expensive wine.

 

Now champagne gives me hangovers. All the sugar I guess

 

It depends on the beer for me. I got shit housed on Busch light a few times and I thought I had died the next day

 

The only way I get a hangover is from drinking cheap liquor, which I don't do on my own but I don't always want to pay for top shelf at bars.

 

Most decent champagne has very little sugar, and some has none at all. This is why you should get out of the $8 aisle.

 

$8? I think the bottle I drank was in a 55 gallon drum, on ice next to the register. I don't even think it was $2.

 

A nice ultra brut is good stuff.

 

One of my Grandfathers hunting buddies (of 50+ years) passed away this week. Pap asked me to pick up something nice to toast him with at the hunt Friday night. Would love suggestions in the 100-150 dollar a bottle range (if possible).

 

Laphroaig 18 or Bunnahabhain 18 if you're wanting scotch.

 

I'd do Macallan 18, if Scotch.

 

I would go Laphroaig

 

I also really like this too.

Either way, you've got a good toast

 

Thanks y'all, will be picking one or the other up this evening

 

Well, it's Whisk(e)y Festival time again. Going to grand tasting this Friday and can only try so many before my palate taps out. I've provided a link to current list of whiskies, so if any here who partake would like to offer suggestions I am open and appreciative.

Have you tried Crane Lake? My wife said its one of the best cheap wines she has ever had.

 

We go with Bogle for cheap red wine.
