Wine-savvy

[bods1000]

I know anoh that you were describing the anatomy of a wine

 

The Os in my maiden surname appear as the 2nd and last letters.  My married surname has 3 Os!  Oh oh oh, that's a whole lotta Os .... 2nd, 4th and last.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

aha!

 

so I hit it on the (G)-spot

 

Your multi-O names sure are a wonder, and you seem to have become more explosive with age and change of status - like some good shiraz that we adore.

 

 

er have you had any luck in hunting down that fugitive, Jim Barry aka The Armagh aka Mcrae Wood?

[bods1000]

Haha Bods & Masi, cute ninyo.  Hehe.  Dadalawa na nga lang kayo di pa kayo magka ayusan sa date.  

I once spilled shiraz on a khaki skirt.  Baking Soda does the trick.  I've tried baby powder and it helps but baking soda is the most effective by far.  There were light stains that were left which went away with 2-3 washings of that skirt.

hehehehe....

 

that's why our EB's are a ROUSING success! With meticulous planning and no-leaving-any-stone-unturned gung-ho attitude, the attendance grows by leaps and bounds! Attendance at the last EB jumped up 50% (from 2 to 3 winos), if my math is correct :boo:

 

as it was, if you were there the last EB, it could have been an AROUSING success :boo:

 

thanks too for the baking soda tip....I can now spill wine everyday on my shirts and not worry about it :*

A warm hello to Mr. Agxo3!  I keep forgetting to extend my greetings to you.

Hey Ms. Lipstick! Sorry I missed the WEB with you and the others but one of these days I'll find time for a side trip to Manila while I'm in Taiwan.

[masi]

what would be the best way to remove a wine stain on a white shirt? 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

 

tell your wife it's waterproof lipstick.. then at least she knows you haven't been drinking again!!!! *strikers

There's apparently a shortage of a LOT of alcoholic beverages lately. Champagne is one, single malt scotches are another.

 

Also, the Euro has gone up in value about 10% over the past year, so everything European is that much mroe expensive in places that are tied to the dollar. PHP8000 is about US$145, so that's relatively close. Here, at Costco, it's just over $100, I think (or is it $90? - haven't checked lately).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

Now, I see the reason for it. I remember a few years back, it was so easy to pick it up at duty free shops.

 

Thanks for the info...

[masi]

hehehe pare I thought we'd be moving the WEB to the 8th para we hit two birds with one stone on the same day

 

I can't go to both, but being the wino that I am, I'm more inclined to be there on the 7th na lang.

I'll be there 7pm - give or take a few sips :cool:

 

spurt should be here - I'll get in touch with him, pare.

 

pare Old World na nga yung Spanish eh...after the Spanish, we go New World - if spurt doesn't have any with him, I buy na lang sa Wine Depot. Besides we still have that SeaRidge na pwedeng pang-mumog :thumbsupsmiley:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

I'm good with either or both. If your schedule is much open on the 7th, I'll go for it!!!

 

Barcino is the place, then...

[masi]

Errr inflation?   How about Gloria Mac?

 

The other brand you were trying to think of ... is it Moet et Chandon?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

well, yeah, you could say that... but shouldnt be that much.. maybe the european have much demand for the bubbly with all these EU celebrations!!!!

 

the Moet is in fact in the list....

 

thanks...

[masi]

Haha Bods & Masi, cute ninyo.  Hehe.  Dadalawa na nga lang kayo di pa kayo magka ayusan sa date.  

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

well, we try to make each encounter truly special... bods and i are flirts, just like a ripe merlot.. but not necessarily short on the follow through... like any wino you have to find out yourself...

[agxo3]

Dom Perignon is made by Moet. The more common Moet is what's called White Star. If you can't find any of those, the other to look for that I like are:

 

Perrier Jouet in the painted bottle

Veuve Cliquot with the orange label

 

If you want to go even more upscale, look for Roederer - if waaaaaaay upscale, look for Cristal

 

Also in the French style but made in California, and very, very good -

 

Schramsberg

Gloria Ferrer

Domaine Chandon

Mumm Napa Valley

Thanks for this list... I have a Perrier Jouet stored at home. I dont want to go overboard and I'm keeping a budget fit for the Dom. I guess he deserves it having won a bout with colon C and the death of his spouse.

I don't know what prices are like over there, but here the Dom Perignon, Periier Jouet and Veuve Cliquot are direct competitors and very similar in price - just a few dollars apart in pricing. The American sparklers are somehwat less expensive but IMHO not any less delicious. I left one Colifornia sparkler off the list - it's the J sprakling wine from Sonoma. They make a Brut that is absolutely one fo the best California has to offer. Andit's priced below the French offerings!

[Lipstick]

aha!

Shamelss flirt you are Bods, just like that last drop of fine cab shiraz I had embracing my palate. But I like shameless men like you! :boo:

 

Hayyyy kulang na talaga ako sa practice, ang sasama ng mga hirit ko!

 

I haven't actively hunted for Jim Barry but I will next week! I'd be happy with the Clare but the McRae Wood was just described soooooooo finely that it's conjuring up very very lascivious images in my mind of the way my senses would react to its smell and taste.

 

hehehehe....

Hehe well the next WEB let's make it a 100% improvement in attendance as I will make sure to be present. And hahahahaha no need to get it up este get up for me.

Am looking forward to meeting you Mr. Agxo3. You truly are a fellow kindred spirit. I remember the first thoughts you posted when tragedy befell me last year. I shall never never forget your kindness.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Rarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! :lol: I wonder what Mrs. Bods would prefer, wino or women problems?

 

well, we try to make each encounter truly special... bods and i are flirts, just like a ripe merlot.. but not necessarily short on the follow through... like any wino you have to find out yourself...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hahahahahaha oh my, you men are just toooooo hot to handle alone! I just hope you don't flirt with each other or else my heart would truly break!

Hey, how come no one ever thought of gifting me with a Dom when I lost my spouse? The only offer I got was that one DOM sitting next to me on my flight to Sydney.

 

Top of the morning winos! It's great to be alive today.
