In this modern world of enlightenment and high regard for minorities, I am coming out and admitting, "I like Midori and really like Kahlua".

As for wine, I dislike reds and don't really like whites.

Shiraz-yuk.

I have a Rose' here that will be right up your alley then Red

Would only drink it if nothing better around.

Philistines , Mongols, barbarians at the front door ..... what is this thread coming to?

I have tried endlessly to add some refinement to this thread but , apparently, I have failed miserably.

I'll say it again. The only libation for a refined gentleman is .... of course Shiraz.

Follow Uncle Bitter's advice - you won't go wrong!

A good single malt scotch is without doubt better than any cheap, coconut sugar drink, even better than the young grape juice that some here quaff down

I rarely visit this thread, but honestly, enough's enough! Toughen up chaps, for god's sake! This ain't no '80's disco

To clarify, for the sanctity of the thread (its sanity is beyond redemption, and said sanctity is teetering...) the Malibu n Milk is a holiday drink, with its summery mate, a G&T: I do take the occasional (well earned) holiday, from reds - generally shiraz but open to the varietal spectrum depending on what sort of head I need to wear next morning - and single malts. I don't mind the peated, either, though not to everyone's taste. Thoughts?

Does anyone else here like white spirits generally but cannot, simply cannot even get whiff of gin without genuinely feeling foul?

I think it is a phenomenon similar to how some people are massively repelled by coriander and simply cannot believe anyone would let it into their digestive system.

I really shouldn't have stayed up all till 4am watching the Ashes. Fading fast.

Photography is a great hooby and nothing wrong with being proud of one's body. 

I wonder if BBO is into photography, would he ever over expose?

I hate Rose' also but in the category of "lolly water wine" this one is surprisingly good.

Riverstone Estate...actually all their stuff is up there imo.

Their Shiraz in particular was a real stand out for mine...

This is the thread for it and please refrain from yelling at me. I get that enough at home. 🤣

STOP POSTING GROSS THOUGHTS AND I’LL STOP YELLING AT YOU!!!

Anyways, unless up-skirting in public restrooms is considered photography then I’d hazard a guess that BBO isn’t into photography.

I had an offer from Boozebud for Norman's Regional Series Shiraz. $168 for the Dozen, only till midnight though.

First of all that's all in the interpretation. Secondly I think you are very close to personal abuse of BBO and way out of line with your comment. I understand you don't like what he says but you keep taking the bait. If you had of questioned him taking photos inside the kaftan you might have got a better response. I will quote Mrs Dw here "I don't get boy humour". You obviously don't either. I use to think your to and fro responses to him were humourous and lighthearted, clearly he now knows how to push your buttons and that has now turned into something else. Put him on ignore and me to if you are unhappy with what I have to post.

Oh boy. I’m currently in an alternate universe. I don’t know what’s real and what isn’t. Moreover, I don’t care. I need sleep. Lots of it. Give Mrs dw my best wishes. 🥰

Must be a generational thing, then, gentlemen: I'm in, too.

Do you do it with milk? Guilty pleasure!

Mine is Mount Gay  OP Always loved the name and the rum is sweet and powerful.  Shots with beer chaser on a cold afternoon

My old man loved it with milk go figure

My OM's was whiskey and milk.

Thankfully the blended variety...

[Bitter but optimistic 21,560]

The drink suggestions aren't improving - in fact they're getting worse.

Whiskey and milk ! FMD !!!!

I can go a vodka martini but won’t go the gin version
