That's what's listed for the dinner we're going to in 1-1/2 hours. I don't know these wines personally, but this restaurant has never let us down. I hope they include the "alcohol reversal medicine" in the espresso at the end.
Happy New Year!

Where is your patriotism people? Buy American, drink American! That should be the logo for the New Year. Geting on with frenchie wine eh? You think you are better throwing around names like Chateuneuf-du-Pape and Chablis? Shame on you! What's wrong with moonshine? Happy New Year everybody!

I found this Mike's Hard Mango Punch. It's really good. I usually don't like that stuff, but I love all things mango.

Were going out for Mexican food, so Margueritas to start. House is always well stocked. (multiple case of wine and beer, full liquor cabinet) But for tonight just some french champagne we were given at our retirement party. Unless I break down and make my blood orange lemon drops.

This reminds me - I need to stop at the liquor store today. I'm almost out of wine, and that must be fixed! I did a double take with your post. Your avatar looks a bit like justme's avatar, minus the glasses Around the same time you both posted, justme said she had two bottle of wine available to her at home. And then you post (in which I only saw the avatar and not the posting name) you needed to go out to buy some wine. I thought justme sure does consume wine pretty fast.

To be fair I can consume them fast....just not quite THAT fast and still be able to type beyond "o;ihwa;ff83rhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Can I come live with you? I'm a good cook and I have all my shots.

I had a really big glass of White Zin, then I had a chocolate creme cake on top of that. I'm finished for the night as far as eating and drinking go, those two done me in, and good !

I just checked and there are 7 bottles of champagne or similar in the house Almond and raspberry sparkling. 2 bottles of the Cava we use for mimosas. Something called "Joie de vivre" from a a local winery and 2 nice bottles of french champagne we were given for our anniversary. 4 hours to midnight, I need to talk DH into opening something.

Mother truckers!!!! Who the hell sets off a fire alarm on New Years ? Ugh! Thankfully it wasn't anything serious since it was turned off after about 10 minutes.

well, my out of state friend got here, and we are at the town is venue where my roommate is playing. holy shit, I forgot how much I hate packed bars. I am on my 3rd Crown 'n diet coke, for the caffeine (Crown is the only thing I'll mix with diet coke) and I'm already counting down to midnight so we can check out of here. sunrise is at 7 am tomorrow, my alarm is already set so I can head out there. I'll nap when I get home. so over all this noise...... sent from my electronic distraction

We are sipping drinks (beer and wine) and half watching the Alabama game. DH is sick so we had to give our tickets to my son/DIL to give them a chance to find someone to use them.
I don't think they did. The opportunity to get drunk at home officially while saying you are watching the Tide overrules most objections.:
See my first paragraph. Lol.

Hey all
We are pretty much done drinking, and way to full..... way to full. Right now I'm sipping on soda and relaxing. Kids are playing minecraft story mode and friends and I are relaxing. DH is giving out massages he is breaking out his table. We still have dessert and champagne for midnight. And 12 grapes on a stick...... It is suppose to be a luck thing..... 12 grapes on a stick.

Just back from dinner. Two glasses of Cakebread Chardonnay. Now I am sipping seltzer monitoring the teenagers' whereabouts and doings. I laid the law down earlier: "I will NOT condone drinking". Lost "cool" points. Oh, well. I'm not trying to be your friend.

Finally got DH to open the french champagne. It's quite tasty. Whoever gave it to us must have good taste. Still more than 2 hours to go to midnight.
