Back in the day we used to drink Popov vodka chased with Mad Dog. Eyeless in 30 minutes.

Just leave the price tag on. Or taste it, and if it is bitter and musty, it must be the good stuff. If it tastes good, its probably offensively cheap.

I can pick out my own wines. But if you would care to give me the spices to make Hippocras I would be thrilled.

If you really want to get rid of wine snobs, just a teaspoon of sugar to your wine after you get a glass. Or if really desperate, mix it with a soft drink.

Anyone who likes wine will plan the meal to the bottle.

So, if you spend between $20 and $30 for a bottle your recipient will be well pleased.

I need to try that. I have some lib relatives who wax on and on about the wonders of their listerine tasting swill. A pair of them actually brought back a bunch of bottles from Italy and had a “wine tasting” party. The stuff my dentist gave me to gargle after a bone graft tasted better.

Tried sugar, didn’t work. Snobs talk dry but they drink sweet.

You made me laugh out loud. Now I’m going to add a few more ice cubes and enough merlot to bring back that pigeon’s blood color to my kickapoo joy juice.

Interestingly flanked by Cisco and Night Train, both NY State wines. From Canandaigua Wine/Constellation Brands, started by Marvin Sands. Son of less successful vintner Mordecai E. Sands creator of now defunct King Solomon kosher wine, an unsuccessful MD competitor. I haven’t had MD in years but at one time it was the only Kosher wine easily available. New York ex city is an interesting state.

IF I were to wish to buy wine for someone, I would seriously consider a gift card-—let them buy what they wish to have.
