I love Muscat.

Cashy dude, can't believe you drank so much port in your first sitting!!! lol

Apparently these are what you're supposed to drink Port out of:


Although, I haven't come across any in our local stores.

That's a port pipe. They were a fad in the 80s.

A bit expensive though . I didn't know something that small would cost so much.

Wilch,

The port is gone,so are a couple of other bottles of spirits. Currently working my way down a bottle of 2005 Shiraz something or other I got from another supplier.

The wife thinks I am becoming an alkerholic... :-(

Nice!

Have you tried Muscat yet?

My g/f and I head to Dan Murphy's atleast once a month to pick up a case wine and some spirits.

There's some really nice Muscat that's about $14 a bottle, "Morris Liqueur Muscat".

Here's a pic I took of last month's alchohol:



Muscat on the left there.



...and my first ever attempt at a Fruit Tingle

Whenever someone asked my GF what they could buy me for my birthday she answered 'scotch'.

Needless to say I have plenty now.

Someone should have bought me AA membership.

I used to be quite partial to port. Then I grew off it. I still have 2 full bottle of Galway Pipe given to me by past colleagues during my port phase. Then got onto beer (Becks is some fine brew), and a couple of "wino" friends got me onto pinot, smells like cheese IMO. Recently X.O cognac seems to go down really well especially after a hearty meal. Never was into the spirits or mixed drinks much. I'm far from a an alcoholic though. 2 beers and I'm already giddy.
