  1. Was instroduced to amaretto sours and I like! mmmm a bit low in the alch tho but quite tasty.
  2. well the in-laws didnt like the clancy's. too strong for them. They did love the yorkshire puddings. So we have at least one new tradition in the family
  3. picked up two bottles of peter lehmann 2004 'clancy's' for 30$ total. should go well with the old bird.
  4. Me being aussie, I'm gonna find the wine this year so I'm hunting my local ABC and wine cellar at the last minute for an Australian produced Tempranillo or Barbera. I wont hold my breath. Ive heard Yalumba did a mix of Tempranillo, Viognier and Grenache and made a really nice blend.. I doubt my local has it but who knows! The most alcoholic thing my inlaws drink is sparkling cider. There should be a law against fizzy apple juice.
  5. 1996 Schlob Mittersill Blauer Zweigelt. not a bad drop. spellings probably right off the map. i think its from prague.
  6. http://specialteas.com/ is my goto place but nothing came back in a persian search. Is it a spicy tea? green tea? red/black tea?
  7. Thanks, I got yelled at "thats a special wine I was saving for a special occasion" ofcourse I didnt help by saying it was tap water
  8. Found a bottle my wife had "misplaced", it was a Biltmore Estate Zinfandel Blanc De Noir. No year on bottle but was purchased in 99 or 00.. so Guessing its probably a 99ish. Not quite sure what to make of it. I'm not a great zinfandel fan. It seemed fairly dark for a rose wine. I wouldnt buy it again, nothing against it but nothing compelling for it either. I should have learnt that my house doesnt turn up 'hidden' treasures in the backs of cupboards by now.
  9. It should be coming nation wide. All the DC outbacks should have it. Our outback in middle of nowhere Virginia had it. I think its being done region by region. I think the DC outbacks have had it for several weeks now iirc. I was really surprised, as it will give Coopers a real PR boost making it available nation wide. I know coopers sell a lot of homebrew kits over here in the usa but Ive never see their bottled beer around. I guess if they are exporting kegs it is also on tap!! awesome.
  10. Something I wasnt aware of and just ran into... My sis in law is corporate outback, she took us out to dinner the other night and Outback have revamped their menu, and well, they have a couple of new beers on the menu, one of which I highly recommend, Coopers Sparkling. Its probably my fav beer (but I am not a avid beer drinker). Its a cloudy beer still fermenting in the bottle so watch our for dregs if you dont do the obligatory upside down turnover etc. Anyway, anyone going to an Outback needs to check out the Coopers Sparkling!! If one must drink beer over a mudslide (mmmmmm) grab a CP, give it a spin and lets know what you think of it.
  11. what do they eat then if not grass? makes me think of battery hens but for cows cooped up in pens never to eat grass... poor cow. I only go to costco for the lamb (expensive as it is..)
  12. taking care of the little boy tonight (4 months old). so I got into my secret stash of Bundaberg Ginger Beer imported from australia into the wonderful 'world market' (and its not that diet shite either!). Following that up with some loose leaf Majulighur TGFOP tea. mmmmmmm.... Ginger beer in America is such a disappointment
  13. ill have to remember that when I am in falls church! right now we reguarly go to Eidelweiss on I81 in va souther of Staunton. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm and one of the few places I can buy goold old fashioned ginger beer.
  14. Im forever having boild rice with some icecream for desert, it freaked out my American inlaws, to them rice is not a desert. I dont think they ever had baked rice custard or rice+bread pudding etc. (Baked rice custard http://www.netcooks.com/recipes/Desserts/B...ce.Custard.html )
  15. Ive been trying to find some GoShu blue (made under the Sun-Masamune label which is owned by Konishi Brewing Co.). Its a Junmai Ginjo / SMV+4. Doesnt help I live so far from any large city. I didnt recognise many in his directory either from what I was used to in England and Australia.
