Contrary to popular believe some Californians have, being cold outside doesn't necessary mean it's cold inside. Central heating, yo! I'm not too good with wines, had a bottle around, thought I open up and try it. And this was a dry Riesling, so it wasn't too light. For a hot summer evening outside I would go for a different one. I had a bottle of some Portuguese wine which would be perfect. Don't remember its name or brand, but it had a very nice taste similar the one you described and had a bit of sparkle. I imagine it would be very pleasant to drink under such circumstances. Hard stuff is benched because I got bored of it.
I hear ya. I am BEER'd out. After trying over 1000 different beers in the past few years I am just bored of it. That being said, we love visiting breweries, that's totally different but I am done buying beer for home for awhile. I am done with whisky, rum etc. Just have drank so many over the past while. I am back to my good relaxing goto. Gin and Tonic. Yummy. drink em slow and enjoy.[/QUOTE]
So what's next? Strawberry pina coladas and White Claw? A classic, although I prefer the 80 proof regular Bombay (green bottle) for my martinis.
Sure, why not, never tried those. Love me some G&T. It's one of my all time favorite cocktails. I also cut my consumption of beer, for the same reasons as you mentioned.
I would prefer that too, but alas, it's not sold in Newfoundland. I will look for it in NS when we go. We do have seaweed gin here by newfoundland distileries. REALLY GOOD! I am a craft brewery/distillery Kind of drinker! there are lots too. Ironworks in Lunenburg, is another I would love to try. White Claw. Training drinks. That's what the kiddies drink to look cool!
