ps. gewurztraminer is such a perfect grape, and i love hippies; you should remember the name of that vineyard, please!
It was Navarro Vineyards late-harvest 2006 Gewurztraminer. It cost $30 in Atlanta, so probably $25 or so outsideof a majorcity.
I will google said bottle to see if i can find it in nyc. on a sad note: why is shipping wine so expensive? i have so many gifts i have to give across the country, and the one thing that i know aside from literature is wine. no one reads the books you send them, but everyone drinks the wine you give them.
i gave my friend a book about shakespeare sr. year of college for her birthday. five years later we're having lunch together and someone uses the quotation "out damned spot!", and she not only doesn't recall the play, she also doesn't know it's shakespeare. yes, there is a chapter on that quotation, haha/:sad!
edit/modify: I've googled said bottle, and it sounds delicious. gewurtz is truly a noble grape. "lychee" is one word that triggers me to think "you may love this wine!"
Five of us ordered car bombs. The bartender proceeds to make each car bomb individually and drop the shot glass in herself before moving onto the next.
That's terrible. How could anyone not know that Bailey's will curdle, let alone a bartender?
I've lived in New England all my life (One of the more Irish influenced areas in the US) and in three years of barhopping up here, I haven't come across a bar that does car bombs quite right.
Really? We have 2 in Atlanta that I know of. One is in a trendy section of town and overcharges for their ICBs ($ for the pint, plus the cost of Jameson's& Bailey's), and I refuse to give them money. The other is temporarily closed due to some licensing issues. If and when they reopen, I'll be a happy man. $2 pints and $6 Car Bombs is where it's at.
i quit intentionally hanging out with my friends who do carbombs because, when I reached age 25, i realized there is nothing in my life so sorrowful, that I need to resort to conducting terrorist attacks against my own body.
dammit, if you're mixing beer, that's just silliness.
Unless you're making black and tans!!!!!
I agree though, car bombs, flaming dr. peppers and boilermakers lead me to believe that mixing things with beer is always going to end badly.
when they say black and tans. they mean the kind from the cans. we don't got time to mix it all together. i'm a very busy man, man. she says i kinda dig the awkward silences. because i grew up in denial and went to school in massachussetts. he said hi, i like to party on the problem blocks. and i can't stand it when the banging stops.- craig finn
this is in the running for my favorite lyric of the 2000's.
so slight topic change: how do people date when there is no alcohol involved? apparently, i'm doing it because i've been seeing this girl for over a month now, and somehow, it has only involved a bar ONCE. it feels like high school. i think it works though because she's as smart as i am, which, normally, is not the case (which is generally my fault). edit/modify: being able to talk about the same things is apparently a wonderful thing. who knew that there are females who want to hear about the symbolism of the crying of lot 49!
edit/ps:
I am kind of dumb.. it's just that i have bad taste in women and life.
