Lipstick Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 you really had to say it!!!! Mo, ha!!!! Bods, sinusundan daw tayo? Welll last time i looked around, i just saw my shadow!!!! Ravenswood and Yalumba, if my memory serves me well, Wine Depot carry those labels. If your best buddy goes by the name Johnny, I might take you up on it, but, Jack? Bods, care for an impromptu eb to cap the week?!!!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hehe. Hehe. Hehe. Wala lang natawa ako sa hirit na MO. I love Jack because my father taught me how to drink it --- neat, straight up with a bottle of super dry! Totally redneck! And because I started drinking Jack before pareng Johnnie, I find the taste of Johnnie a little flat. Yes I love that sweet oaky, smoked taste of Jack dahil charcoal mellowed daw sya (hahaha whatever that means!). When I have Johnnie tho it has to be a Black 7. I've got an officefriend (actually she reports to me) whom we call Johnnie'sBaby or ScotchGirl because she can drink heaps of that s**t! Mapapahiya ang lalaki sa lakas uminom ni ScotchGirl. it is our honor to have you here.in fact it warms my heart and everything else that you got the ball rolling, so to speak, by being the first poster here aside from me when the Thread started. cheers!care for some luscious verdelho?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Naks.... that truly deserves my patented AWARD!!!!!! Actually I wanted to be the 1st to post in this thread but as I was typing eh naunahan ako ni CCL pare. I hate being 2nd best pa man din. Competitive eh. But seriously am so glad this thread is around -- it makes me feel not too distant from my late husband. He loved his wines, knew how to enjoy them and was always excitable when describing a drop. Reading how all of you enjoy wine is almost like reading him Luscious does not come to mind when verdelho is mentioned --- I think refereshing, cool, citrusy. Been a while since I had a bottle. It would be good to have the color of tears for a change. madaming sumusunod....hmmmmcould only be either the Vice Squad or the Morality Police uhmmm...cheap wines...sometimes I get so indiscriminate and sometimes my standards hit rock-bottom. when you play in the muck, it's mostly dirt and mud, but sometimes, you stumble upon that solitary nugget......<{POST_SNAPBACK}>More like the "spot refined hot gentlemen" squad! hehe. Somehow when the word nugget is said by you Bods, it conjures up the most lurid of images for me. I need to get my mind out of the gutter soon. Quote Link to comment
Lipstick Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Awwwwwww..........how sweet! Lips, say hi to Cherry (whoever he/she turns out to be!) for me! And Mo, for that matter! Old, gold Johnny is probably more of my friend than Jack is right now. Then again, I had a Lagavullin Cask Strength last weekend that reminded me why single malts are just soooooooo nice. Peaty, smoky, smooth (after you cut it with water!) with a hint of the Scottish seashore.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hehe Cherry did not show up and well Mo was indisposed. But Jack came to the rescue and ahhhh brought along a wonderful paramour. :boo: I just started drinking single malts about a year ago and wow grabe sa lakas ng kick pare! I have shared many lovely nights with Glen --- both Fiddich and Livit. .....would a jamon jabugo that melts in your mouth be good enough as an award yes, how many times would you reject our overtures for you to join us before our cup runneth over? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hehe somehow I feel like if accepted that jamon jabugo award eh I would get into very big trouble. I have never rejected any overtures! I have been the one evaded for such overtures. Besides the day the cup runneth over, well that would be the end of the world!!!! Mga dudes, why don't you have the WEB sabay with the 36&Uppers get together? Para many birds with many stones?!?!?!!! so where are they??!!! I wish..............if the bebot you refer to is you, then we have it made <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Konti na lang ... maniniwala na ako. Gud day to u. Promised masi i would post. So the next WEB is on July7th? Sali ako dyan. Is Miss Lipstick, the unofficial muse of the wine thread, coming along? <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Ola PinoyStrigoi! I cannot be a muse as I lack the fairness and beauty required of one. What I am is the fat, haggish bar wench! That is why I have not attended a WEB for I wish not to impose such a ghastly sight upon the gentlemen and make them lose their tastebuds for the luscious wine before them. :hypocritesmiley: Ok Bods, I am ready to accept my award now!

bods1000 Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 I don't really look for cinnamon in any wine, but I would not be surprised to note it in maybe a pinot noir, zin or syrah. Something with a spicy note to it, which cabs generally dont. Single malts - lessee.....the more generally available ones like Glenfiddich or Glenmorangie also tend to be less intense. Lagavullin or Laphroig 12 year olds or older tend to develop more intense flavors and aromas. The Lagavullin Cask Strength I had was so intense and so alcoholic (at 160 proof,or 80% alcohol content) that it was specifically recommend that you cut it with distilled or purified water. Using amineral water is better than tap water, but the minerals may modify the flavors inherent in the scotch itself. Hence, distilled or purified water. the list of single malts is staggering! There was an article in a local paper not too long ago about it. If I haven't thrown that issue away yet, I'll scan and post it. Or maybe I'll go on the Web and pull down an archive article for you. It's the July 4th weekend. A weekend of fun, frivolity, and fireworks. Friends coming over, meat burning on the grill and wine flowing like water. Can't wait!!!! It's almost 3 pm and I'm outta here!!!!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> maybe we should post again the flavors, pare, what do you think - I myself have forgotten most yeah, pare, if you can find that article, kindly post it here. Thanks for the info - The Laphroig I've been hearing about and they say it's good. wow pare! isama mo na lang kami sa celebrations nyo dyan Tilt a glass for us here, ok? Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 no harm, no foul bods... i just decided to hit the driving range (not a bad idea since my body and mind were in synch to hit those battered golf balls far and straight). some friends drove over and talked about the propensities of gloria being overthrown or surviving it!!!! of course over a bottle of a 2001 Beau Mayne Bordeaux... old world. while others had coolers and the rest had beer. i truly have a difficulty distinguishing old world wines perhaps by lack of experience or perhaps i'm truly monogamous to new world shiraz. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Same here, pare - never had a decent exposure to the really good Old World stuff - but they're all good hehehe... cheers!

bods1000 Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 pare, you ought to try the single malts works hand-in-hand with a cigar. single malts open a new horizon of taste and flavors. just let me know when you want to, i'll oblige.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> that sounds like another plan! do they have single-malts at your usual haunts? let's do an impromptu there, say, a week after the EB?

bods1000 Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 Gud day to u. Promised masi i would post. So the next WEB is on July7th? Sali ako dyan. Is Miss Lipstick, the unofficial muse of the wine thread, coming along? You were able to buy the Jabugo? Mmmm that is a good ham. Wife brought one tiny piece from Spain, the lomo part. Was not too salty but had a distinct flavor. Really different from a Jamon Serrano or Italian Parma. It was gone in one sitting - courtesy of me. Somehow felt my cholesterol shoot up suddenly. Di bale, there was wine to stop an impending stroke. BTW, does barcino have cheeses?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> they should have cheeses... see you there! Quote Link to comment

Not only is it like reading him when you read about us - it's like being trapped in a bad marriage with us when you are in this thread I have lots of dry verdelho gathering dust in the house - maybe I should bring one. It's hard to resist saying luscious when you are in the same sentence hehehe.....walang basagan ng trip, as you say there in AA Out of the gutter and into the muck for more nuggets! What could be lurid about a nugget, I wonder? I think what's lurid is me dispensing nuggets of wisdom as that is so laughably improbable cheers to a wonderful weekend! Quote Link to comment

bods1000 Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 as for the 36+ eb... i would prefer, though, that wine savvy have its own day. we've gone this far... a guy thing, you know..<{POST_SNAPBACK}> ok so that's settled...besides which, we might get too sloshed after the WEB...

bods1000 Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 A great night, I should say.... Precisely apt to have your thoughts as company. With a glass in hand containing some chilled semillon, and Carole King playing on the that old dependable turntable. It's amazing. That Tapestry album - an LP record - has been around since 1971 - a good 34 years of spinning! Like good wine, it has stood up well - the music remarkably aging gracefully; the black vinyl still dutifully spinning its way to weave magic. One more song about moving along the highway..Can't say much of anything that's new...If I could only work this life out my way...I'd rather spend it being close to you... But you're so far away.......... cheers, folks! Quote Link to comment
Lipstick Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 a flair for the dramatic? :upside:<{POST_SNAPBACK}> As they say if you dish it then you should be able to take it as well. I love giving awards so I guess I should be able to receive them too? you are really well informed about the pleasures of the world... hardly would i find a woman who venture into the unchartered domain of whisky and single malts...as for the 36+ eb... i would prefer, though, that wine savvy have its own day. we've gone this far... a guy thing, you know..<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pleasures of the world???? :boo: Hehe ok I know I know... pleasures limited to this thread anyway and pertaining to that wonderful elixir called alcohol. I have my father and my late husband to thank for holding my hand while leading me to explore the many wonderful spirits. Quote Link to comment

I would not let this thread die a natural cyberdeath. Too many deaths recently for me. Am not ready for another one. Haha My marriage was happy albeit short but like I told Clancy when he asked me how it felt to be married to him for the last 2months, "I have been married to you from the time I fell in love with you. It has been 5years not two months." So I reckon when I am stuck in this thread, it feels like I am in a wonderful marriage. And yes, he would've loved sharing a drop with you winos! And you boys would have so much fun talking about wine. Sayang talaga. I will not basag your trip if you will not basag mine. Hahaha and that sounded soooooo kolehiyala. Yuckkkkkkk. Have a wonderful sunday winos!!! *hic* Quote Link to comment
Lipstick Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 I like that word - bar wench! Fat and haggish It conjures up images of sitting on the barstool, having had one drink too many, and propositioning the bar wench sitting next to you - who also happens to be the bartender's mother or worse, mother-in-law :sick: your presence in the WEB would complete a rhapsodic evening for us now where's my award <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hehe well I would be that bar wench alright! Fat and haggish is how I fondly describe myself. As to being propositioned ..... hahahaha no one has propositioned me lately. Must be all that alcohol I am consuming. :thumbsupsmiley: Hehe the reward to your award shall be received when I attend my first WEB. No my presence is not the reward (wahahahahaha award!) but perhaps the bottle of wine I shall bring. Quote Link to comment
