Fanny, about today's QoD bonus (no spoiler)
FYI, there are at least two major brands of the type of wine you describe, though AFAIK only one that fits the clue. And there are a fair number of real wineries nowadays that make kosher wines that actually taste like wine. A cousin-in-law's family owns a group of local liquor stores, so he'd bring some to every Passover seder. Most are surprisingly good.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

You mean I was keeping kosher all those years I was guzzling down the Night Train and the Thunderbird?

Disclosure: I only occasionally dabbled in the rotgut. My guzzle of choice was T.J. Swann's Easy Nights. $1.29 a bottle and worth every cent! Although Annie Greenspring sounds kind of Jewish...ha!

Awwww....I never could stand white wine (rotgut or not) but loooovvvveeed the red stuff. T.J. Swann's Mellow Days was my poison of choiceDisclosure: I only occasionally dabbled in the rotgut. My guzzle of choice was T.J. Swann's Easy Nights. $1.29 a bottle and worth every cent!
I haven't bought booze in 26 years -- do they still make that?
My Leah turned 21 yesterday -- after dinner at her favorite Indian restaurant, she stepped over to the bar & bought a 6-pack of beer to take home. It's still sitting in the basement fridge, untouched
I don't know if I'll ever tell her about Mellow Days!

I was trying to remember what the Day version was called and it was making me mad that I couldn't. I have no idea if they still make it, I stopped drinking when I was 20. Although I must say that I have kind of a nostalgic hankering for cheap apple wine now.VAdame wrote:Awwww....I never could stand white wine (rotgut or not) but loooovvvveeed the red stuff. T.J.

We used to drink Tickled Pink as well, but I can't remember who
made that. Tickled Pink mixed with Sloe Gin. I'm shuddering just thinking about it.

I managed to avoid hangovers, mostly because I drank the least - back in the day I was often the designated driver, long before that term was created. But one of my friends, whom we called "Beef", did often get headaches only a couple of hours after imbibing the said beverage.TheCalvinator24 wrote:Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill. WORST HANGOVER EVER!

Two reasons why Jewish men can't party and can't drink:
1. Their first party is their briss.
2. Their first alcoholic drink is Manischewitz Concord Grape Passover wine.

Suitguy is not bitter.

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I actually looked for Boone's Farm Kountry Kwencher last month while shopping for wine in Mayberry. Alas, it wasn't there. But they had Boone's Farm Blue Hawaii. And it was blue. Electric blue.
I couldn't even buy it as a joke to put in with the other Thanksgiving wine, as I had planned...

I've been to two separate wine auctions, where even though there were some VERY expensive wines available, the ones that received the most, and highest bids were the cheapy ones. Boone's Swan MD or the boxed stuff went for high dollar amounts They were charity events and I'm wondering if this is a common joke that occurs at such events.
