After that, moved on to the much higher quality Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much rather go to the Safeway. The clientele are easier to take. Well Walmart, better put on your best sarong If you do you might end up that website, people of walmart. Better get a better coffee pot, it will shock the wife when she gets normal coffee for a change. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 There was bottles of Mardi Gras Pineapple wine back then for $2 per bottle...not bad. It was Ripple and Boones Farm as well for the times were popular all over. Chianti won out at times with dinner. Oh, the good old days of summer. Crazy lazy days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart, save the sarong for when you want to really stand out, it's hard to stand out in walmart with the normal crazies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Sangria, there was a place we liked that sold it by the pitcher with oranges and other fruit in it, pretty good really. 35 minutes ago, billybob said: There was bottles of Mardi Gras Pineapple wine back then for $2 per bottle...not bad. Never seen that but would have tried it. Tried some Pineapple shine last week with chunks of Pineapple in it, very good, the fruit alone would be enough to do you in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well made Sangria is actually very popular these days, and it can definitely sneak up on you if you're not careful.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, a sister in law or two when together watching us around the fire with a beer would drink some Sangria. Like the taste alright. When older got into drinking some finer wine with the in-laws. It was expensive French he bought by the case. Got into drinking French Champagne and collecting the bottles as they were quite attractive to me. Name brands. Wife at the time was good for 1 glass. I was good for the rest. Cannot recall the brands now from a California(sparkling maker(Schramsberg) which was quite excellent. Read extensively about the region around Paris. Collected tulip and saucer glasses. Went to the Wine&Cheese Cellar local and on and etc...Still remember quite a lot. Like a good Amontillado fairly recently for our vacations, beach trips. Guess the truth is, I started drinking wine and loving it more and more. Times changed and went back to beer, all beer, cheap, high priced, homebrew. Fact is, have said more than intended and am not too proud to drink anything with anyone who were to offer as, I can relate to all people, anywhere, I have ever been. Educated or otherwise. Rich or poor. Have had a good life and do not wish to offend anyone whose paths I should cross. Not going to cull any friendly invites. Now as to shine. I like it with a beer chaser. Have had it on a few occasions.Was surprised to find it legal in some places when I went to the mountains for vacations for a couple of recent years. in the summertime for the 4th. Was amazed at all the flavors. Just absolutely love the weather at high elevations. Pineapple....mmm sounds gooooood. Nowadays, less is more for me. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I had a Cuisiart for 8 years and it was used when I got it -- no carafe. Then I got the GE and it lasted lasted 2. 2 yr might be the new planned obsolescence time now. Part of the throw away ... I'll just stop before I go bye bye on a rant @billybob sounds like you ran similar circles to me. Sangria... Let's see ... "JungleJuice" parties 2 cans of HawaiianPunch in a garbage can mixed with whatever came in the door 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 WillyBob, I was starting to go on a tangent again. Yes punch like *Elden was describing, it sounded like. And then someone would spike it with Everclear, lol. Was thinking, age and location although different, people are the same all over. Generalization...Did I mention I like corn, rye, scotch good whiskey, gin, vodka and a good aperitif ...lol! Well I won't mention it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
