25. I guess it's more of a "local" Italian wine... I don't know
Edited on Sat Feb-07-04 08:46 PM by SoCalDem
Friends used to find it in NY and bring it when they visited.. We had it in Miami for the first time.. Back then it was only imported through the east coast..

I don't know anything about wine..



Have no idea what it says or how much it costs now.. I have not had it in years.. I used to carry a label in my wallet, in case I saw it.. I do remember it as pricey, and I did not want to buy the wrong kind.. I never found it, and eventually threw the label away
I only found it online in Italian

30. Another vote for Bushmills
Smooth and deadly whiskey. You could sip it with a straw, it's so good. Trouble is you don't know how langers you are until you try stand up!

YUM

21. A rum you can't get in the states anymore.
Edited on Sat Feb-07-04 08:31 PM by JonathanChance
Belieze Traveller's One Barrel rum.

Down there, it's considered the cheap stuff, yet it keeps winning rum contests from around the world. The only place you can get it is in Belize. You used to be able to order it online through a distribitor in NYC, but he closed up shop in 2000.

24. Bowmore's Darkest...
A lovely single malt straight up. And if I had some tonight, maybe I wouldn't feel so crappy. All I've got is honey and lemon and tylenol.

28. Two-Buck Chuck!
Edited on Sat Feb-07-04 09:52 PM by KeepItReal
I had a Charles Shaw Merlot this week...

I normally go for Chilean Merlots, but that Two-Buck Chuck is ok in my book.

When I'm really kickin it... Moet and Chandon Nectar Imperial. (as Ferris would say..."If you have the means, I highly recommend it.")

Cheers, y'all

33. Gin and tonic
Bombay Sapphire only!!! Once you've had the best, there is no point in having anything else.

When not drinking gin, I enjoy wine and dark, rich beers.

39. Eagle Rare single barrel, Mackeson's XXX Stout, Kentucky Ale
Woodford Reserve, though the last bottle tasted corky. Took it back, got Eagle Rare.

Forest Glen White Merlot (cheap and good)

Dortmunder Gold, brewed by Great Lakes brewery. Too expensive, so Kentucky Ale is my everyday drink.
