Wine

What wines do you like?

Whatever you're buying 😉

I mean (😘

lol!

Nothing but the best two buck chuck then!

no ... no ... I insist. You are worth it!

My tastebuds are too sophisticated for Boone's Farm...

Nothing less than a box of Franzia will please my palette... 😉

Yes, someone please educate me?

Anything fruity?

haha I drank boonesfarm in high school once. Strawberry Hill. yuck.

okay, why do I feel like I am chasing you all over this board? 🙂

lmao!

::kitty pounces chocolate::

I think I got you that time.

Stay still lol!

Where I work entails my bosses travelling all over the world - great for them😢
They always bring back wine to our HQ as gifts - gud for me:-)
The consensus among our bosses and us workers is that Chilean wines are in a class of their own and surprisingly not too expensive.
My favs. are Erazuris, Carmen - I like a sauvignon blanc grape.....

Rosemount and Wolf Blast are I think Australian and these are excellent.

There's a lovely fruity summery German wine called "Bend in the River".

Spanish - Castillo Diabalo.....

Blossom Hill - nah, too vinegarish for my palette:-) - sorry to all my Californian pals here:-)

Michael Lynch is a good french wine

And my favourite wine quote: "If the bottle can hold it, so can you"!

Salut to all you wine lovers:-)

Alana x

Wonderful list Alana.

I am going to try some Chilean wine you recommend.

I like Wolfblast too and yes it is Austrailian.

Just for Purrfect my dear Chocolate:-) May I suggest a a Torres Nerola Red
Description : This wine offers pleasing notes of fruit (raspberry, ripe cherry) on a backdrop of toast and spices reminiscent of mocha coffee and vanilla, and acquired during its ageing in French oak. A velvety palate is complemented by its firm and elegant body:-)

Next time a drop of wine hits my tastebuds, I'll be thinking of you and Little Sparrow.

Cheers my beauties:-)

...then I graduated to tequilla and that didn't help....

Don't get me started on tequila...

Something about that drink brings out satan in me. So they say because I never remember lol

...Just for Purrfect my dear Chocolate:-) May I suggest a a Torres Nerola Red...

aw, thanks guys. This will be the next thing I get : )

Purrfect, Tequila is the one drink I have never tried......to be honest I'm a bit scared of it....I've seen grown men - heavy drinkers - who usually can "hold their drink" - collapse to the ground like rag-dolls!!!! after a few tequilas.....I know I'd be that "rag doll" after one sip!!knowing me:-) - more rag than doll!!:-)

Alana,

Yet people still drink it. There is nothing fun about getting hammered in 2 seconds flat only to pass out and not remember where you are. lol!!

Only drink it if you are feeling masochistic : )

At this point, just the smell of tequila makes me nauseated.

Nasty stuff.

Tequila rose however ... 🙂

hi little sparrow!

What's tequila rose?

I'm off to work. See you laters 🙂

Forbid me something and it's that what I desire....next thing to try for Alana is tequila...if I live to tell the tale.....I'll be back to tell you.....if I don't, just throw a few rag-dolls1 on my coffin:-)

PS - Now I could love with tequila rose, me thinketh:-) - if you can LS!!

That love should be "live"!

tequila rose is a strawberry & cream liqueur. I don't even know if there is tequila in it as I haven't had huge quantities of it .... unlike the Mexican tequila.

It is quite light and yummy. It has a consistency comparable to Bailey's.

I took this conversation to work lol

All morning this is all we talked about. Liquor. I'm trying real hard not to drink on a weeknight lol

chocolate,

frangelico is one of my faves. Pour it over ice and yumm

Good luck with what.... Not drinking?

I thought I would bring the wine thread back up since it's FRIDAY. Where the hell is everyone? Don't all scatter all at once now.....

Everyone seems so down lately. People need to LAUGH. (yes, me too)

If I could magically make everyones life happy and perfect with the wave of my hand I would. Until then....there is still this wine thread. WHERE ARE YOU GUYS??

..Eco Domani (Pinot Grigio)...

I just tried this. I have the Bolla version in my fridge. Is it similar, do you know?

lol!

I just got back from lunch with the boss and have had too much wine. It was Chilean Sauvignon Blanc though ... and delish .... I am fine ... the room however is completely spinning.

Maybe no one will notice. *hic*

Omg little sparrow! Drunk at work lol!!

I should go open that bottle and join you lol

Omg little sparrow! Drunk at work lol!!

shhhhh ... .they'lll hear you.

lmao!

I should go open that bottle and join you lol

I believe you should! I second that emotion .... errr.... motion.

where is everyone?

Need a mint? Some gum?

Or, I could come up there and spike your coffee for you. lol!!

I need another glass that is what I need.

lmao!

sooo purrr how are you honey?

Gimme about an hour and I probably will. I am having company tonight and don't want to be too toasted by the time they get here. Wait.....it's only 11 am here right now. In that case, gimme a couple of hours.

little sparrow, I don't know where everyone is. Everyone just vanished all at once. Like they are all of one mind or something. Any plans this weekend?

I'm doing fine. On speaking terms with my man again. Get to see him this weekend finally. Maybe I'll just attack him as soon as I open the door. What do you think? lol

ahhh gottcha.

It is around 2 pm here which means I have to sit here not moving for several more hours so I don't do the tell-tale walk. And they wanted me to order a martini! If one glass of wine could knock me on my ass ... could you imagine a martini? eeeshhh ... sadists.

I hope I didn't piss Cookie off. I always seem to say the right thing to piss him off.

Ahhh well ... can't win them all.

It is Canada Day Up Canada Way _ a really terrible song ... download when drunk for humour_ so I am going hiking tomorrow. We probably will do a 7-9K hike.

I am suppose to see Little Leo Sunday. We. Shall. See.

What do you think?

Oh yes. I think you should. Without hesitation, my dear! Use him and throw him away like a dirty sock!

... If one glass of wine could knock me on my ass ... could you imagine a martini? eeeshhh ... sadists....

lol! Just don't fall asleep at your desk hun. Drink some coffee. Unless of course you like being this relaxed at work. Then hey! I'm jealous, I wish I could join you.

I'll have to go back and read what happened with Cookie. If he's a typical leo he'll get over it. Fixed influences are being walls right now. Look around the board. You can see it here too.

being walls how?

...We. Shall. See....

Exactly. Don't expect anything and you won't be disappointed either. I hear you.

...Use him and throw him away like a dirty sock!...

I think he would LIKE that!! lmao! friggon scorp haha! Yes, I put him to good use as often as I can 😛

...being walls how?..

stubborn and stuck.

stubborn and stuck.

Ahhh that explains things. Little Leo has a moon in Scorp so he is being super stuck and stubborn and whatever.

It is hard not to have expectations. Everyone has expectations for everything.

...Ahhh that explains things. Little Leo has a moon in Scorp so he is being super stuck and stubborn and whatever...

and what about you? You have Leo/Scorp in your chart too don't you? You seem to have the urge to stand your ground right now. Are you feeling it more now than usual?

I have a strong leo .... leo moon. My scorp is weak though ... it is mercury. (I consider mercury placement a weaker placement. I might be wrong though.)

I felt it more last week when I told my ex to get lost. I feel very good about that decision.

chocolate, I try to. My job requires paying attention to a lot of little details and I tend to space out when I am hungover. Not that it doesn't happen. But wine is the WORST hangover for me. I won't even want to get out of bed.

And how are u?

But doesn't just enough wine make you want to go to bed? 😛

Mercury is a strong placement. Most of what you do stems from some idea or thought. It originates there. Decisions even. With all that libra in your chart having scorp here must be a life saver as far as decision making is concerned.

Did you grab some coffee?? 🙂

I am drinking tea.

Really re: the mercury? I didn't know this. I didn't think it was as important as Venus Mars Moon etc.

..But doesn't just enough wine make you want to go to bed?..

If I'm gonna drink, I want the WHOLE bottle lol!! Can you just drink one or two glasses? If I had a drink at lunch like you did it would be party time and I would ditch work lol

My boss took me and two of my co-workers out. I was the only one who had anything to drink. Prudes!

I've been pretty good lately. If I have one drink I stop. If I get to this stage .... I just want to play around. :/

It's all important little sparrow 🙂 How well you communicate with someone comes from this too. As an air sign, wouldn't you consider this important?

chocolate,

Speaking of that post the other day....my car officially won't start. ffffuck lol!

I'm waiting for my "mechanic" to get his ass up here and fix it

...but it's really just from not getting any sex...

Time to invest your money in a do it yourself toy chocolate 😉

Just for now at least. Until the end of August, right?
