Hmmm, was it green before you started drinking it?!!!

It did not help too much no matter the color. So tonight I try a different approach - Caipirinha

Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2007 The wine is rather drinkable and one bottle made a Sainsbury Custard Tart taste far better that I would have thought and another I am trying with a home brew chicken based curry.

I feel that the wine is far better designed than their web site.

Can't beat a few pints of "wife beater"

Solpadine hoping to prevent a "migrane".

Tesco Sicilian Red. Yum (said without one single word of irony )

Perger organic cherry-apple juice cut with sparkling mineral water from the Austrian Alps.

EDIT: The pics stuck together, drinking the premium only, forget about the other two.

At last.........................yum yum!

P.S. Something special coming up later for a nightcap.......

I was introduced to this when on holiday in L.A. last year. It is NOTHING like the tequilas we get back here, which are so harsh. This is just sooooooooooo smooth........



"Patron Silver is called young or "joven" tequila. A similarity may be made to a young or nouvelle wine.

It is known for its light, fresh, crystal clear look and an elegant smoothness not found in other silver tequilas. Many prefer this smooth, soft and light tequila over an aged and slightly oaky flavour. Those that know the difference may find Patron Silver the finest silver tequila available. It is perfect for blending with a high quality mixer or may be easily sipped.

Patron Tequila, like the great wines and congacs of the world, is exceptional for a reason. It begins with the finest growing region in Mexico. High in the mountains of Jalisco exists a region which allows with perfect soil and climate which allows the sugar and acid balances of the Weaber Tequilana Blue Agave to mature and produce an 'Agave Pina' unequalled elsewhere in the world.

Like premium wine grapes, the sugar acid balance must be perfect before harvest.

Patron tequilas are the only tequilas truly produced in the traditional handmade fashion. After harvest the 'pina' are carefully selected, trimmed and then slowly steam baked. When cooked to perfection the 'pina' is macerated with large, natural, stone-milling wheels. The fermentation is done with the fiber of the 'pina' which helps impart its unique flavour and smoothness. After a double distillation process the tequila is aged in small oak barrels. When properly aged the tequila is fine filtered and ready for careful hand bottling.

Each bottle is invidually signed and given a unique bottle number due to the limited number produced."

Very nice choice, here is my personal favorite.


For the ultimate tequila experience, sip it neat in a specialized tequila glass. Don Julio REAL is produced from a highly selective batch of only the best estate-grown agave and its second distillation is in a special still known as Pot Still 6, which refines the flavors even further.

Mark! Captain on the Bridge!

Yet more coffee, at what point do I stop being a mere coffee drinker and become a caffeineoholic?
