booze

Contrary to popular belief I'm not a drunkard, I just like a good drink :)

This is the mantelpiece of my bedroom at the moment.



Form left to right:

Casilerro del Diablo, Merlot: A reasonable and cheapish Chillean Merlot. It was pleasant but not the best I've had.

Rosemount Estate, Shiraz/Cabernet: A truly great any time wine. Recommended to anyone for any situation.

Taylor’s: One of the better commercial Ports.

Cono Sur, 20 barrel cabernet sauvignon: I haven't tired this Cono Sur delight yet, but I've heard very good things about it.

Chatau Musar: Mmmm. This is a sexy wine, imo. Older vintages were much better but I still think this is a truly great wine.

Rosemount Estate, Shiraz - like the shiraz/cabernet blend but with more oak. great with steaks and barbecues.

Wolf Blass, Cabernet Shiraz: I haven't tried the yellow label but I hear they are reliable quality.

Col Di Sasso: not everyone's taste but it's a good Chianti-like Italian red and nice and cheap.

Talisker: Single Malt of goodness in my opinion, of horridness in the opinion of others. It hits me in the right spots but some don't like it.



I'll be bringing a bottle of the Rosemount shiraz, two bottles of the Chateau Musar and the Talisker to Jacon.

Hopefully I'll get them through hassle-free.

I know what you mean much too well. With the "Corbo Bash" reputation I have, you could imagine what a drunkard people must think I am. In reality, I rarely drink...I'm just not a huge fan of drinking by myself, and I have few friends that live closer than 100 miles away. I've had people attack me in the past calling me and all of my friends "binge drinkers". Now while I really don't care what too many people think of me, and can understand why they would 'misunderstand' in my case...I dislike them associating all my friends with that term. My friends are extremely good, decent people...most of them are incredibly responsible, and all of them are trustworthy in my opinion. I digress...any talk of booze or parties will pretty much nail the title of drunkard, binge drinker, or alcoholic on you by some people. I find it a bit annoying, but I guess I can understand if they haven't been around me, they wouldn't understand.

Fact: I have not been drunk at any Corbo Bash since the first one back in 2001. I stay sober, serve drinks, and make sure guests are having a good time...I think I'm going to post this in my journal now too...see you soon Ian. :)

Wow, I didn't know that. :up:

Don't worry, I may not have met you (yet...one more day), but you (and all your friends) seem like good guys. So this is one person who thinks otherwise :). Not that this is really a big deal, but I figured I'd say it.
