Duckie4120 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 that "little" interest could balloon to gigantic proportions that would capture you for the rest of your life - like what happened to most of us here hehehe....leaf through the back pages, pare, I'm sure you can pick up some nuggets of knowledge here and there... Hehe. I do not doubt that one bit. As it is, I find myself constantly checking back here to see what's new. Quote Link to comment
floppydrive Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 For a long time, chardonnays produced in California were called "chablis".Chablis is a town in France, and the predominant (perhaps only!) white wine grape grown in the town and area around it is - chardonnay. So THEIR wine is called Chablis. Now, of course, you can't call chardonnays Chablis anymore unless it's from Chablis. The wine in the Welch's grape juice-like bottle might have been MD20-20 (Mogen David). OR, it could have been Lancers? NAILED IT!!!! It's Mogen David!!!!So THAT's what it's called! NOW I can sleep better. hehehe Quote Link to comment
boomouse Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I don't know if this is off topic but I want to share this. I've been drinking Jinro Soju (Korean Potato Wine) for more than a year now. The small bottle version is only 19.8% to 20.1% alcohol (P 80 to 100) and the big bottle is 24% alcohol (P 200) It is indeed cheap but what I enjoyed with this is when I let the ladies drink it. I mix Mirinda or Royal Tru-Orange. The alcohol content is really low if we compare it to Gin or Vodka. However, I find that the ladies get drunk easily with this and made them hot that led to sex on some of them. I tried to research on this on the internet but I can't find a logical explanation. I experimented this on my wife, my office mates, my friends, and other acquantances and got almost similar result. I told my daughter not to drink it with other people except in the family as it is "dangerous". One of my staff even whispered to my ear that she was safe after 4 shots of this. She can't remember what she whispered to me when she's not drunk anymore. I did not take advantage of her as she was my staff and I don't want any scandal. There was another drinking session w/ 2 (P 200) Jinro = P 400 with 5 ladies and me. 3 of them also became hot after the 2nd bottle. Maybe it's the chemical mixture of the softdrink or maybe it's really Jinro. The rest of you guys can experiment with it and share the results. Enjoy! B.T.W. Try the yellow label than the light green label. The yellow label is more effective. I must confirm this. My version is what the Japanese call Oolong Hai. Which is a jigger of shoju (Jinro if you are really scrounging, but there are any good number of Japanese shoju made from potato, sweet potato, rice, and a blend of other grains, I prefer Iichiko) on to a highball glass, fileld with ice and topped with oolong tea which can either be home brewed or bottled. The thing is refreshing and tastes like tea but it sneaks up on them and bites them where it is suppose to itch. Quote Link to comment

The MD20-20 bottle seemed like a closer match. Unless you're thinking of the gallon jug of Paul Masson - and you could (and still can!) get Welch's in gallon jugs. This is the NEW WElch's bottle. The old one was a simpler shape, without those funny ridges. As you can see, the MD20-20 bottle looks kinda like a juice bottle. While the Paul Masson carafe is distinctive and can't be mistaken for an innocent juice bottle. Quote Link to comment

Take no offense to Agxo posted but I concur with his remarks. I, too, am familiar with Paul Masson, it was popular then just like Boone's Farm and Andre Cold Duck. I definitely was referring to Mogen David which had a distinct bottle shape and grape juicy-type taste. It was not far from the "Welch" grape juice being sold at Nepo mart too back then.

agxo3 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 mga sir MD stands for Mad dog 2020 its a popular drink for college students who cant afford the real stuff, its common to parties in universities. sana tama un alam ko... That was true up to about 10 years ago. No need for it now. I haven't seen Ripple or Thunderbird lately, either. With Two-Buck Chuck readily available, who needs them? Although MD2020 was a bit higher in alcohol than the average Two-Buck. And (this is a good thing!) college students these days are a bit more discriminating in their palates. Not to mention the fact that knowing "good" wine is now considered one way to get in good with the girls. Quote Link to comment
Duckie4120 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I saw a short ad on wine appreciation on the CCA website. Think this might be a good start to learning more about what I drink now? Hehe. Not for anything really but just so I know exactly what it is i can taste. I pretty much know what i like or don't like in a wine but do have a hard time verbally explaining myself. @Nikki - hope your event is a success. How much would these new portugese wines of yours go for? Unless am pre-empting something, please ignore my question. :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
