Favourite Beer/Wine or Spirit

Linus · 05-26-2010, 06:45 AM

I'm always looking for new recommendations, particularly on spirits and beers but I think recommendations on all sorts of libations.

For me, some of my favourites:

Beer: Mill St. Organic (http://www.thebeerstore.ca/Beers/bra...ls.asp?id=1313)

Spirits:

Glen Breton Ice Whiskey (Nova Scotia)
Glenora Glen Breton Rare 10 Yr. Whiskey (Nova Scotia)
Forty Creek Barrel Whiskey (Canada)

Wine: I have no preferences.

So anyone else have recommendations/favourites?

I'm not much of a drinker, but I enjoy a good blackberry Merlot from time to time. I don't drink beer or champagne at all and whiskey very, very, very rarely. Usually I partake of the fruity, frothy mixed drinks like Rum Runners, Fuzzy Navels or maybe a good Long Island Iced Tea.

Great thread, Linus!

I love Rieslings....there's one called "Diva"...of course, I love it!
If I could afford it, I'd drink Perrier Jouette all the time....a stunning champagne.
Love Ports and Harvey's Bristol Cream over ice with lime. YUM.
On occasion, I've been known to sip on a good brandy. Key word: "GOOD".
I have come to appreciate a good Cab, as well as Merlots.

Not a fan of the Chardonnay any more.

Wedding Cake Martini's....yummmmm, but Dude says the Vodka makes Jaqueline turn into 'Bernice'

Buchanan's whiskey on the rocks or red wine.

As for the red wine, I will return with my list later.

can fall in the middle of/or be sweet or dry.

German Rieslings are categorized based on their style (levels of dryness) and the grape's ripeness level at harvest (i.e. Kabinett, Spatlese, Auslese, etc). When looking for a dry style of Riesling, the label's buzz words will be Trocken ("dry" in German) or Halbtrocken ("half-dry" in German).

Bernkastler was my favorite and its very hard to find now. Only one spirits store in Atlanta spirits shop carries it that I know of.

I like German wines best.

I like it simple....Bombay Blue Sapphire on ice with tonic water and lemon. yummo

For the longest time I drank heavy red wines... South African and Chilean were two I really liked.

Then one day I musta got hit by a heavy object and forgot cause I am drinking white zinfandel (sp?)... hangs head in wine shame... its not even wine...its just..well fun.

I really enjoy a nice port - Mogen David is one
I love Blueberry wine from Nova Scotia (I believe or it could be NB?)
I love Saskatoon Liquer...yyuumm.... it is made in Alberta

I have never acquired a taste for beer...no matter how much I tried in my university days

I like fru fru drinks with sugar...but they don't like me

Ohhh but a very nice ice wine... expensive but what a lovely treat. 2007 saw a day time frost in central BC and they harvested and made some of the best ice wine I had tried to that date..

okay

leaving now
