I drank coca-cola last night.

It used to have cocaine in it.

Does that count?

^^^ if you put cocaine back into your cocacola, then maybe it'd count?

Just pretend you had JD in it, you're in the clear....

I had a few glasses of Knob Creek last night, a delicious bit of deliciousness.

Unfortunately my $10.00 bottle of Bogle Petite Sirah was less enjoyable, even for the price. It was bitter and overly tannin, to the point of near cottonmouth(!), and nearly void of any smokiness; it tasted almost like a $3.00 bottle of merlot!

I can't imagine any dish which it would it would complement, making it a poor table wine, and the bitterness prevented consumption fast enough to cause intoxication - not even useful as booze.

Perhaps it would pair well with bland foods, like EasyMac and hotdogs?

I just had a strange beer experience. A couple of Fridays ago I went to lunch with people at work and ordered a draft Victory Lager. I'd never had it, but other Victory beers are good and they're local. What I got surprised me a little because it was a deep amber color, but it tasted wonderful. Yesterday I picked up some Victory Lager in bottles and found that it was not the same thing at all, quite good, but definitely not what I had a couple of weeks ago. Now of course I'll never know what that amber beer was. I don't know, musta' done somebody wrong ...

This past year I've been trying some box wines based on some reports I read. Has anyone else?

I've found Black Box to be a pretty decent contender. As a red wine drinker, the Malbec and CabSav are quite drinkable.

My first Sirah was the excellent Q-Vinyard. I took my wife out on a date on Mother's day up at Zimerman park with rye hardbread, various cheeses, fruits and olives. We sat on top of the cliffs, very few trees up there, just rock. It was like a billion degrees. Alcohol went straight to our heads, fell asleep on the trail going back to the car.
