Hiddy hiddy hiddy ho ...  Dave

I don't think I have tried Pilsner Urquell  But I have heard of it.  It is a very old brand of beer Dating to the dark / middle ages I think.  All other pilsners (lagers) take their name from it.  I have also seen San Miguel advertised here and there in the states but I have not tried it.  If you give me a lager  I will drink it  but I would not buy it.  Ales all the way for me.  How people can stomach this Corona stuff in this neck of the woods is beyond me though  ha ha ha.

What can I say otherwise ... I was in seventh heaven (ah the women) when I was visiting Little Tokyo and even China town in  LA   a couple days ago.  I'd like to bring Yuki my coworker the next time so she can explain some of the things I saw.  But I will probably  have to bribe her by doing the Kareoke thing though    Yikes.  It was really interesting  to note the differences in cultures  between Japanese and Chinese  when both areas were within 2 miles of each other.

I have always heard from even the best vino experts and believe it is a simple and profound truth. "The best wine is one that tastes good to you", Enjoy....

For drinks before dinner:
Chardonnay (chilled)

With the meal:
Reisling (especially if your source is the Columbia Valley Winery near Seattle)

P.S. The Columbia Valley also makes a nice Syrah.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the advice! In the June 2001 issue of Wine & Spirits magazine, the 1999 Columbia Crest Columbia Valley Chardonnay is named "Best U.S. Chardonnay Value of the Year." I will definately look into Columbia Valley.

Hi Carrisse,

You're safe for now. My car is in the shop and I don't think I can ride my bicycle 3300 miles. ;o))

Carrisse,

You truely are evil. By answering your question, I may reveal things about myself that I don't want known.

I don't feel that there is one wine, whatever the country or region, that is the "best" wine for everyone. But given a choice between the two...definately Riesling. There are more outstanding examples to choose from.

Hi Carrisse,

MD 20/20 with meat, game or poultry and 21 Blackjack with fish or seafood. I would recommend the vintage February or May 2001. I hope this helps. Both can be procured at your neighborhood 7-11, in the wine cellar. I have a great recipe for "Rapid Road-Kill Stew" that I would like to share with the board one day. It goes well with a slighty chilled bottle of Thunderbird or ice cold Colt 45. ;o)))

Hi Dave,

Yes, MD 20/20 is the best, especially the refreshing orange they came out with a few yrs. ago. I prefer it over
Thunderbird. I prefer my wine to taste like orange gasoline, instead of acetone.

And to Carrisse:, Riesling for sure, although these day's my glass is turned upside down at the table. No more drinkee for me. I've SPILLED more booze than most folk's drink in three lifetimes.

Hi Jay,

I never liked Thunderbird much, probably because I used to see the winos drink it. I prefered a fine wine from the Mogan David Family. I never tried the MD 20/20 Orange, but was no stranger to the original flavor. In my young "Spill the Wine and Take That Pearl"  drinking days, I drank 21 Blackjack for that orange-gasoline flavor. I think it was even made out of orange peels. One thing you can say is that the bottles were a heck of a lot easier to open than expensive wines. Boone's Farm Strawberry was real popular when I was 15. I am happy that you no drinkee. I won't get you into any bad habits when you move here. I just found out that I am very alergic to wheat, rye and barley. Which means no beer, pizza, pasta, sandwiches and just about everything else I love. Wish me luck, cause it really sucks! One day at a time. Good Luck to you my friend!

Hi Dave,

Spill the wine and "take that pearl"? I've been wondering for the last 25 or so years, what the singer was saying about the pearl. Thanks for clearing that for me.

During a period of time in my life, I WAS a wino. Sort of.
Lived in a skidrow half way house, on and off for 4 yrs., for the lower rung of the ladder drunk's. Most of my roomies had been street wino's for yrs. I had only been homeless once for a month when I was about 22. Other then that, I wasn't, but sat behind supermarket's and drank. Also under bridges, overpasses etc., with wino's. I slept on friend's couches or rented apartment's w/ other's, which we would never pay rent on, get evicted and move to another place. So, I guess you could say I was a wino with a roof most of the time. I've really only drank about 2-3 sip's of Thunderbird in my life.
Mostly cause it tasted so bad, but also cause I saw the real wino's drink it, and felt it was a bit beneath me.

Feel free to drink in front of me if we meet, doesn't bother me a bit. As far as the pizza, holy cripes! How are you supposed to make it through life without a pizza once in a while?? I feel for ya, bro. Wouldn't want to be in your shoes!

By the way, I will be in FL June 22- July 2 looking for a place to live. Maybe you know of some decent nieghborhood's for the right price? Maybe we can hook up when I get there and you can point me in the right direction. I'm thinkin' Pompano or N. Ft. Lauderdale, but am open to any suggestion's. Haven't lived there in 20 years, so I have to get to know the place as it is now, that is part of my mission too, getting to know what's up (crime, school's etc.).

Anyway, good luck in your effort's, one day at a time.
