3 weeks since my last drink, trying some champagne

[blumpkin blownuts]

tastes like shit and im tipsy and it just doesn't feel right anymore
i find it really fucking depressing that i can't enjoy alcohol anymore, responsibly or not

[timmy]

eat healthy and exercise? that will make you feel better...

champagne sucks unless it costs $200 or more

[timmy]

try pol rogers winston churchill champagne is very nice

[blumpkin blownuts]

im not bothering with any champagne again

im giving wine one more shot, i got a bottle of inniskillin vidal gold to open when i get my next job. if i don't enjoy that then i just gotta accept the fact i don't like to drink

[blumpkin blownuts]

and i'll be pairing the inniskillin with either sevruga 000 or jamon iberico bellota, it can't possibly fail

[timmy]

well if you ever try a fancy champagne and you don tlike it maybe its just that type of champagne they are all different you know... everyone has their preferences

[blumpkin blownuts]

i've never been a big fan of champagne anyway i like ultra-sweet wines like icewines and moscatos, not to mention fine bourbons like blanton's or better

[timmy]

i like a nice red wine after a huge roast dinner

[blumpkin blownuts]

a supersweet wine after fine, salty meats is unbeatable

[clay]

barry is a connoisseur of fine wines pricing $200+ per bottle

[timmy]

look clay im not a big wine or champagne fanatic i was just saying that the pol rogers winston churchill champagne is a good champagne for its pricing

[timmy]

would you even consider paying 1000 dollars for a wine or champagne?
das crazy even 200 would be a fair bit unless it sfor a special occasion

[timmy]

im gonna kill you clay

[blumpkin blownuts]

price is not very proportional to quality with wines
it is with bourbon, however.

[timmy]

i know.
most extremely high priced wines or champagnes are only that high because of "exclusivity" ... if its the only bottle left and it was made in the 1800s it would be worth thousands just because you can add it to your collection and say "i have this exclusive wine and you dont, i have 3 ps3s my life is better htan yours"

[blumpkin blownuts]

fuck veblen goods

Blanton is good.
Basil Hayden is probably my favorite bourbon, but I'm more of a scotch guy. Well, I used to be, but I've been in a craft beer phase for about a year now.
