Last night I drank the remainder of my wine decanter containing Charles Shaw Merlot. It was starting to turn to vinegar, barely drinkable. Can't let wine sit too long once opened...

If you really must save the remainder of a $3 bottle of wine at the very lest transfer it to a smaller bottle with less air and stick it in the fridge.

Good idea, yeah, it happens to me sometimes. :cool:
I think he buys it in 5 liter boxes. :biggrin:
I do buy 12 bottle cases of the stuff, but the bottles are 750ml. My favorite is the cabernet sauvignon.

Alright fuckers, it's that time again. Recently I have switched from Coors Banquet to Beck's. Becks is great but actually I want to try Beck's light to wise and beautiful woman down on calories. My ass has packed on 10 pounds from beer. 170>180 overnight.


Oh and Sailor Jerry kicks El-Dorado 12 years butt for better taste and alcohol content. Should I mention price.....



Edit: I was buzzed during this post so please disregard any "old Fences" that might bother you.

Cheers.

Coors banquet is still just regular Coors.

Becks is better, but if going that road, maybe Yeungling.

I still drink Miller Lite most of the time, but I'd hardly call it the favorite by a long shot.

yes I know Coor tried to amp the name by calling it Banquet. Regardless, it's still better than Coors lite.


I haven't tried Beck's lite yet (and I know becks is no longer truly German brewed)

I really don't think I can pick a favorite.. maybe a french martini, 9 parts gin, 5 parts St. Germain, 3 parts fresh lime juice, shaken and served up.

Maybe a delicious Manhattan with a good rye, possibly even with a bit of maraschino liqueur stirred in.

Oak aged yeti on draft at Great Divide's brewery was one of the best glasses of beer I've ever had, also a big fan of B.O.R.I.S., Westvleteren 12, Bourbon County Stout, World Wide Stout.

I've had great wine as well over the years, some day I'll learn more.

apparently barleywine is mainly available in the winter. :(

went from a dozen choices a few months ago at my local beer + wine store to 1.
and that one now costs $23 for 4 bottles. :eek: :mad: :NoWay!:
