Guest JessterCPA Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Any wine afficianado worth his salt would know that the screw top is the way to go. No chance of wine being corked, better seal, etc. Many high end wines now only come with screw tops. Anyone that reads anything about wines, or talkes to educated wine shop owners knows the value of the screw top. BUt other people, or peopel who used to know about wine don't get it. One of my dinner guests made the remark, "I'd never buy a wine with a screw top" Technologically, it just makes sense. Liek heights said, all those problems from cork, or even synthetic cork go away. I do love using my Screwpull, but a screw cap is FTW. Jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JessterCPA Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 The "2-Up" was good good stuff. Really went well with the Lamb, and was a big hit. 4 bottles down no prob. Recommended. And only $11 to boot. http://www.wine.com/wineshop/product_detail.asp?PProduct_ID=SWS132528_2004 Jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godwhomismike Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 Tonight, I will sample Black Swan Merlot. Not my choice, but, that's what was picked up for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongHiway Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Try Banrock Station's Shiraz. I can get this at Trader Joe's, it's popular and often sold out. Around $5.00 per bottle. It's a little light and thing but the price makes up for this. Oh, for now a real cork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MannyLegacy Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hahahahah MIKE WTF. Red Wine FTMFW! That's fo sho dawg!!! When I went to a winery in OZ, off the Gold Coast, it was awesome. As a matter of fact you can order direct from them. Here's their site...... http://www.albertriverwines.com.au/ Anyways, Shiraz is one of my favorite wines. It's kind of funny how cheap the wine is in OZ. One of our friends had a Good bottle of Shiraz and he got it for like $4.50 over there edit: if you order from these people you HAVE to get a bottle of the Red Belly port. It's named after one of the most Poisonous Snakes in Australia. It's absolutely fabulous and after you pour/taste it you know why it's named that. I took pics of the winery, I'll try and post them tomorrow :munch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Have you tried Thunderbird, or Night Train yet. They are excellent, and classy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godwhomismike Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 Tonight, I will sample Black Swan Merlot. Not my choice, but, that's what was picked up for dinner. I found that the taste was a bit too fruity and had a fairly distinct acidic taste. I am not impressed by this wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godwhomismike Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 With liquor - I'm a bit snobbish. I look for the best within my means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 With liquor - I'm a bit snobbish. I look for the best within my means. Me too, but I have been known to buy some nasty stuff as gag gifts for house warming parties or nice dinners at a friends. Try it sometime, it's a cheap laugh.

Try it sometime, it's a cheap laugh. Kinda like Dubra vodka - $11 for a handle. Definitely the worst shit I ever drank - for 2 or 3 days, I felt like I had burned a hold though my stomach.

Penguin Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I don't drink much vodka, and never cheap vodka. It looks like and smells like rubbing alcohol to me, so for all I know the cheap Boone's Farm or Darby's vodka could be diluted rubbing alcohol for all I know. I'm a single barrel bourbon, or single malt scotch guy when it comes to enjoying a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
