The Booze Thread

[Diomedes]

It is harsh, true.  But as far as this particular bottle, nothing could have been going on with the aging..it was in a glass bottle in a dark cabinet.  Not in oak.  It was no more than 3 years aged when bottled and did't gain a thing by sitting in Matilda's closet.

Wife took me into a cool store that specializes in wine the other night.  Opened a few years ago and just never got around to going. Place was awesome!  They also had a nice assortment of spirits.  Huge assortment of Tequila.

Can anyone recommend a good Tequila?  We just finished a bottle of Silver Patron.  I'd like to try something different.    

Don, try the Patron anejo. It has great flavor and is quite a bit different than the silver which isn't aged. Put it in the freezer and it is hard to find a smoother liquor.

For Philly folks, I ran into a guy over the holidays at the state store who is the head bartender at a Mexican place that just opened in Wayne off the Blue Route. Don't remember the name but can probably google it. He said they now have 75 tequilas and should be getting another 75 over the next few weeks. Also stumbled upon a place in Horsham with the same, and a great chicken mole' (on Horsham road across from Gavins sports bar). Stumbled back out a couple of hours later. Recommended if anyone is ever in the area and tequila questing.

In fact Don, if you want to try this place I can arrange for you to stay at my P's place there and I'll stay at your place in Hawaii. Deal?

Philly tried this or NJ not to long ago.  It'll fail this time around, but in time it will be the norm.  farging pansys

For light to moderate drinkers, the tax would amount to only $10.83 per year.

These are the real pansies.

"Alcohol excise tax is a win-win for the state. They provide much needed revenue, and reduce alcohol consumption and related problems," said David Jernigan, Johns Hopkins professor.

Anybody else miss the logic here?

[phattymatty]

pretty sure he came to the retarded conclusion that alcoholics will not buy booze if they have to pay an extra dime.

[Seabiscuit36]

He's a NERD, thats the logic. 

Actually here's his writeup.  He seems to have a motivation

pretty sure he came to the retarded conclusion that alcoholics will not buy booze if they have to pay an extra dime.

And somehow that will increase revenue.

Also stumbled upon a place in Horsham with the same, and a great chicken mole' (on Horsham road across from Gavins sports bar). Stumbled back out a couple of hours later. Recommended if anyone is ever in the area and tequila questing.

In fact Don, if you want to try this place I can arrange for you to stay at my P's place there and I'll stay at your place in Hawaii. Deal?  

i believe that is the matador but its actually on rt 30 next to the boathouse.
