16. Thanks, but the local Stop-N-Go didn't have that year

We ended up with Canned Bud with a November 2003 born on date. Your service, however, is greatly appreciated. I will pinch some tail and suck some head (Crawfish head) in your honor on the bayou this evening.

25. Nope - Retsina is fantastic at Sundown as you eat fish on a Greek Island!

Edited on Wed Mar-10-04 02:46 PM by papau

BBQ fish,or octopus - Retsina is the choice!

You don't want a red - but standard whites are like water with a highly spiced BBQ.

30. off dry guwertz with Coconut Milk?

not a chance, it's seductively close, like it should work, but the sweetness and spiciness of the gewurts will sour the coconut milk. taste like aluminium foil.

32. AH -- German Gewurtz, yes. But the Alsation stuff is usually vinified dry.

Mmmm... a 2001 Hugel would be good right about now, methinks!

45. That would be Thunderbird.

Night Train Express, Cisco and Mogen David 20/20 would also be acceptable if they don't have Thunderbird at the store.

If they don't have any of those, brake cleaner tastes about the same.

26. You should just answer everything with "Thunderbird".

No matter what you're eating with it, it's the worst possible wine. Unless they make wine out of decomposing raisins, that is.

41. I respectfully dissent.

A Clairette could complement Spam quite nicely...

Provided that the Spam is grilled and slathered with BBQ sauce.

49. you may be right

but I would suspect that the strong tannins in a young Barolo, combined with the darker berries would clash so horribly with the Pate as to make the point moot.
