I like Virgin Mary's *more* than Bloody Marys, really can't taste much of a difference between a non-alcoholic margarita and one with alcohol. In fact, What on earth do they make non-alcoholic margaritas with? My margarita recipe follows: 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice 2 parts cointreau 3 parts good tequila Shake and serve with ice on frosted glass. If people have a sweet tooth they can add some simple syrup to taste. -- Victor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he Email me he |

So what is a good Cabernet Sauvingon this year without tipping $30.00? About I can think of a few off the top of my head: Penfolds (Australia), Becker (Texas), Yellow tail (Australia), Monte Xanic (Mexico)... Australian wines are much more than Shiraz now...

This is probably the single thing that drives me craziest about the
whole gay marriage debate. The anti-camp repeats this bromide until everyone believes it somehow, but they never explain HOW that "undermining" is supposed to happen. People making public arguments that effect other people's lives should be held to rigorous standards of logic, evidence, and clear, rational thought. That's been one of my biggest questions too. How would legalizing gay marriage endanger or undermine marriage? Here is one hetero who is fully in support of legalizing gay marriage. I figure any relationship in which two (or I suppose maybe more) mature adults who are truly in love with each other is a good thing and should be encouraged. Dan |

G ) Patti LOL I think I'll pass given the prices. I can live without the "Green Farie" in my life. But I do wonder if the weird slotted spoon I inherited from my Scottish grandmother from the turn of the last century might not be an Absinthe spoon. Hmmm. Jill Jill |

Victor, who knows that's how it's supposed to be done, but who also thinks wasting alcohol is as close to a sin as he believes... I totally agree! I never spit. Dennis and I have had some great times touring the wineries in Margaret River (the town we're planning to move to). The best way to avoid getting too drunk is to eat some tim tams between tastings. Mmmm, wine and tim tams :-) -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!

I'm sure I could help you sample the winery produce to check it's up to par! ;o) Of course! We're planning on a nice guest room because we already have dozens of friends and family members who are coming to visit. Mind you, the more visitors we get, the more part time my work will have to be. Maybe I should get into the tour guide business instead? ;-) -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr.

SNIP I can think of a few off the top of my head: Penfolds (Australia), Becker (Texas), Yellow tail (Australia), Monte Xanic (Mexico)... Australian wines are much more than Shiraz now... Please note that I like big, bold cabs, so that's what I'm recommending. Victor.... I've heard that Texas has an up & coming wine industry... Have yet to get my grubby little paws on any Texan wines, but I'm looking foreward to trying some. Penfolds does nice work....However, I simply MUST take issue with your Yelowtail reccomendation.... Popular stuff, without question. Sadly it's popular for 2 reasons: Carbonic Maceration & Residual Sugar. Carbonic Maceration is the same process used to make Baujolais. Also reffered to as whole berry fermentation, it draws color & fruit flavor from the grape skin, without any of those pesky tannins. Making a 'soft, fruity' drink now style of wine... If I want Baujolais (and I usually don't) I'll buy a bottle. Residual Sugar, as the name suggests, refers to the sweetness level in a bottle of wine. Yellowtail boasts 11.5 grams per 750 ml bottle... More than most Rieslings & Gewerztraminers... Migt as well drink coolaid & vodka. Just my opinion Mathew Butler to 2 kittens: Chablis & Muscat En Vino Veritas |
