Good God! He needs to upgrade his taste in booze, too! I'm sure Atomizer is as sick about that list as I am. But then I wonder if the standard in Minnesota is as low as it is in Sacramento. Yeah, I'm talking to you JamesPh...

First, you have to recall, JB lives somewhere in the boonies in Minnesota, not the Twin Cities. Second, I believe he used to live in Oklahoma City. So cut him some slack, he don't know any better. (But I wouldn't buy anything on that list.)

And what's wrong with Sacramento ("A nice place to live, but I wouldn't want to visit there")?

You mean apart from being the seat of California's decadent and depraved government? Nothing at all. Actually, I have relatives in Folsom -- the town, not the prison. Not a bad place. Not much worse than Chino, or Colton, certainly.

J Be Doubtlessly the saddest picker in the licker store. The list read like someone who was, shall we say, ill. Thinking of a Winter Ale now? The little excuses for the bottom two, one a "watermelon" flavored Vodka ---oh, it's for my Fiancee." We'll see. Really, why not stock some $8.00 beers, Bailey's, Bacardi Gold, and how about some of the bubbly with the gold labels? I mean, but he forgot the Alize to drink with the ladies McManus is watching over...And the Sutter Hom White Zinfandel....JB ---what about the Pepperment Schnapps to load into Airplane bottles and sip down before those long dinners with the future in- laws? God knows that he bought in pints.... I'm saying three Hail Marys for the man.

Allright you sonsabitches, I'm here to defend myself!

The wine list--the key thing to remember here is price. I am, by nature, a cheap bastard. There are some things I will not skimp on but wine aint one of them.

I consider myself a fairly sophistamacated wine conasewer rat, but I can't easily tell the diff between an 8 dollar bottle of cab and an 18 dollar bottle. I can tell the difference if I shell out 40-50 but I just can't DO that considering how much I spend on bourbon a month alone.

Ya feelin' me?

I think David's point is that when you're shopping below $10/bottle, you're better off buying imports. My "wine basket" is full of sub-$10 wines, and almost none of them are domestic, because I'd rather drink a $5 bottle of almost any Chianti than an $8-12 bottle of California red.

I know you don't have Trader Joe's up there, so pay a visit to http://www.thewineclub.com and check out their sub-$10 wines.

Oh, and the schnapps and Mexican beers are simply unforgivable.

Want a WOOL CAP to go with that Christmas Ale?

Trying to give it away at Lake and Chicago: "No thanks man, what you sick er sompin' kid?" Dat stuffs AWWFUL MAN..., c'meere man, see what dis guy trin' make us SICK or sompin'.....

Monkey Robb,

You clearly have never enjoyed one of the finest cocktails ever concocted, the Washingon Apple.

Take a tumbler, fill it with ice, fill 3/4 of the way with JB Black, add the apple pucker schnapps, a dash of cherry juice and you've got yourself a wonderful drink.

And Mexican beer is some of the best out there. Yes, I used to be one of those IPA Heads, those beer snobs that wanted the highest IBU rating I could find. But it got tiresome after a while. You can't tell me that a tecate with a lime is not an amazingly refreshing and crisp tasting beer.

Jeez, buncha snobs around here. Poor JB D. did the best he could at probably the only liquor store in town.

(Although I do think the "for my Fiancee" excuse is pretty weak. I'm sure she'd be pissed to read that.)

He accidentally left his stuff in a cart there and took their store clearance cart to the register instead. Too embarassed to admit this $200.00 mistake and "creative" enough feel it could pass, he listed his finds on Fraters...
