What's in your glass / cup right now .....
Hey I'm sure a lot of us just sit and chill while surfing RFF. Sometimes its coffee, tea, orange juice, mineral water. Other times it's wine, beer, rum, scotch.
I'm always looking for something new. So I'm letting you know right now I'm drinking a glass of 2001 red wine from Portugal, Periquita from Jose Maria da Fonseca. Very nice! I may attach a pic for this after I'm thru my first sip.
cheers, sante, skol, prosit etc etc ...

Robert Mondavi Private Selection 2004 Pinot Noir. Simple, unpretentious, and not bad for the price.

Fosters Bitter - cheap but much better than that excuse for a lager they sell. Plus a bit of Jim Beam in another glass...

Yellow Tail Shiraz. Unusual because I am much more of a beer drinker! My wife is off wine for a while and she is not fond of the Shiraz so I asked her to pick me up a bottle while she was driving past the LCBO today. Ain't she a peach?

While reading RFF, had leftover CPK pizza with Amberhill '00 cab (Raymond, CA). Am now enjoying a shot of Bas Armagnac (Chat du Tariquet VSOP).

Pepsi One, at the current time. Actually, not in a glass or cup, in a can.

Last time I had Yellow Tail Shiraz it seemed too acidic or something. Maybe it was just a bad batch.
It turns out that Syrah (the same grape variety, I think) grows well here in North Carolina and makes a slightly more delicate wine. However, the local varietal wines are too pricey for everyday consumption.

Rico, One Sunday, after closing time, as the sun went down, I swam nekkid in the huge Raymond swimming pool (St Helena CA) with a delightful, but ultimately unattainable young lady from the tasting room. Thanks for the memory 
Actually, the "unobtainable" part was a blessing. Her husband was huge.

No, no, **NO**, not Foster's anything. Here are some alternatives...
- James Squire
- Jamieson's
- James Boag
- Cascade
- Grand Ridge
- Haagen
and that's if you MUST go Australian. I have Mac's Black in my glass right
now (from N.Z.).
p.s. actually CUB (Fosters, Victoria Bitter, Carlton etc) have a new dark ale that
is quite OK. Nice and cheap here too.

Liquore Strega (witches brew) is something my inlaws dish out frequently.
I'll have to get some to go with the home-brew. It comes from Benevento, Campagnia, Italy and kinda looks like Galliano for those familiar with that (see attachment). Tastes like heaven. circa 40% by volume. Sticky sweet liquor, very nice.

I'm drinking James Squire Ale, the one pictured on the left, below in Pic 1, right in pic 2. Pic 3 is where the pics were made on last W/E camp trip.
The one I'm drinking right now is a fresh one!
The Vodka & lime is for my assistant(!)
