I'm actually sipping Myers dark rum. This stuff is just tasty.

Ever tried Appleton Estates? Myers is plenty good, but AFAIC, Appleton knocks Myers on it's ass...

where's appleton estates?

i mean, is it jamaican rum, or puerto rican, or what?

Yep. And the darn-tootin' tastiest dark rum I've ever had. I went on a dark rum tangent about 6 months ago, trying out all the top shelf imports that my liquor store had in stock--Appleton Estate rules the roost, IMO...

i'll have to try that if i can find it here in independence...

a favorite of my wife's is caruba rum, from jamaica...

it's a dark rum that isn't too sweet, nice stuff...

A Jamacian gave me a bottle of Rum to take home....only problem he forgot to say it was for cooking really. I gave it to anyone that walked in my door that drank........as I had 1 drink and was drunk for 2 DAYS!!!

It was called Wray & Nephew............White OVER PROOF RUM...Dear lord!!!

I've had Caruba. Good stuff! BTW, you should have no problem finding the Appleton Estate in any good-sized liquor store. It's quite popular in the US right now. I've noticed all the bars I've been in carry it...

2001 Mondavi Woodbridge Cabernet.

It was a large bottle and it had been open a couple of days (with the cork in), don't know if that changes the taste, but I was not impressed.

Gets ya drunk though!

I've got a nice scotch and water. Hold the scotch.

bacarti and coke mixed about half and half.

Uhhm, yeah...that *can* have an overall effect on the wine's taste...

Btw, I've never been disappointed in a Robert Mondavi red wine...

One of these days, I'm gonna have to try this "getting drunk" thing...

I have never really liked woodbridge though. Its pretty bland and has kind of a metallic taste to it.

Still gets you drunk though and there are worse wines out there.

just a big red goodbye, goodbye says it all

Exactly.
