The best wine, champagne, beer or mixed drink

Sipping a sample of Red Stag Spiced Bourbon. Good stuff, a bit on the sweet side though.

Is anyone here a scotch fan?

My brother and I were up until 4 in the morning a few weeks ago drinking Balvenie. He said it was about 80 bucks, so I am assuming it was the 17 year old.

My God it was smooth. It made Johnny Walker Green taste like gasoline. But I haven't been a fan of JW for quite some time.

 

Oops. Bad call. Probably the 15 year.

Johnny Walker Double Black is nice. It's very smoky.
Laphroaig 10 year I think is the best for the money (about $50).

 

Double Black? Sounds interesting.

But I am wondering if anyone has had the Johnny Walker Purple.

 

Living in a small coastal town near the Santa Ynez valley I am blessed with wine that rivals anything I've had in Napa (or France for that matter).

This is my favorite CA Pinot and at $28 its a bargain.

We're members at that place and all the wines are good... I recommend the wine club.

This is one of my favorite Cabs (a napa wine):

Favorite Merlot (2003 Georis) from the Carmel Valley... If they still have it.

Do note all these places don't sell through stores so becoming a club member, buying directly, or visiting is the only way get these bottles.

Beer-wise.... Firestone Pale Ale is a local beer here (Central CA coast). Terrific beer.

Enjoy.

 

That's cruel... i'm from Australia

Keep all suggestions coming. Good reading and informative.

Cheers

 

Never seen purple. Gonna look it up. Perhaps my father in law would like it as a gift.

Double black is new. Only released about a year ago.
