French wine ages very well, most Italian does not. If someone gives you a bottle of Italian from Italy drink immediately. Unless its something real high.

Again, you guys make me wish I could drink wine. Even reading your discussion of it gives me a headache, though. The nearest I get to wine is in veal or chicken marsala.

wine in general, but especially red wines, are what i call "dirty alcahol." meaning there are alot of sugars and sulfates and tannens and other things besides the actual alcahol and water. its all this junk, especially the sugars, that promote hangover and headach. if you drink very high end vodka youll have less of a hangover than if you drink the equivalent of low end vodka. why? its more pure.

im sure you are talking more of an immediate headach than a hangover and i think that is because of sulfates, but dont take my word for it. how do you do with white wine? that has fewer or no sulfates

Yeah, not a hangover. Just an immediate headache. It's something wine specifically has that whiskey, which is also dirty alcohol, doesn't. I've always blamed it on the tannins, but that's just a guess.

White wine is not as bad. So maybe it's the sulfates.

tonight i was drinkin arrogant bastar ale on tap. its so much better on tap than out of a bottle. the floral and citrus note in the finish is what gets me every time.


and at $2 a pint, you cant go wrong. i love happy hour at that bar. (72 beers on tap)

Nice kuzi, I haven't seen AB on tap anywhere I've been, but I'm always looking for it as I like it quite a lot. I probably should go to the brewery, its only about an hour south of me.

nice. that close and nowhere has it on tap ... thats kinda strange. Its a good beer even out of the bottle but when its out of the keg like that, its a different level.

i didnt like stones porter very much and the double *** was not quite as flavorful as the original but all in all they put out quality beers.

it turns out that this bar was not much for beer on tap. who knew? the only beer they had that i had any respect for was sam adams light. for a light beer its good but i need more to a beer than that. Im on a porter kick. I was kinda screwed in thqat department. I had to go with a vanilla stoli and coke.
not my favorite, but it got the job done.
