Lots of red & white Californian, Italian, French (I have like three wine clients)
with the occasional Spanish red.... Zin, Pinot Noir, Cab Franc (Meritages!) Sauv Blanc,
Malbec, Syrahs... mmm, wine!
I'm drinking "El Tesoro" right now, it's a 100% agave handmade reposado. i brought it back from mexico
It's off the chain. one of the most delicious sprits i've ever had.
wine:
I work as a sommeiler, so whatever glasses of wine clients pour me. otherwise when it's for me, chianti, douro (portugal), oregon pinot, australian grenche and syrah.......actually i'll drink anything i can get my hands on.

And being a sommeiler you gotta know your stuff. The singer in my old band worked
as one and various other wine industry gigs. He always had the best wine... although back
then I barely knew what was what in terms of wine.
Jesus. I'm talking about wine in the FG/SS forum... something's wrong with me.

hmmmm i guess it depends
i drink mostly beer. if i am out i like to get the deals. $2 anything. in terms of beer i like to try diff sixers, my faves are brooklyn, harpoon anything, and sierra nevada pale ale. i keep pbr around because its cheap and i dont mind the taste (currently what is in my hand). for wine i drink anything that is red (raised on it mother****ers). the only liquor i like is whiskey, but i will drink any kind as long as it's not a shot. indeed.

I just can't resist doing 5 posts in a row (never done that before). Sorry, it's 3:30am EST and I've been out drinking. This thread is perfect.

And Lagavulin is the best scotch. Ever. Although certainly any whisky is better than no whisky. Evan Williams is cheap and tolerable.

The three women’s tasks will include the Braumeister Barmaid Contest, Victory Brewing Product Identification Challenge, and the very special Golden Monkey Musical Chairs event. The Braumeister Barmaid Contest will be a test of serving, spillage, and speed, while the Victory Brewing Product Identification will challenge contestants on their Victory beer knowledge. Lastly, Golden Monkey Musical Chairs will be an ordeal of agility and courage. Scoring, as with the men, will be the result of combined points from each event.

so excited!!
