Wine suggestions?

....blame pooking! They mentioned it.

Damn it man! Never mention the puppet!

He’s like beagle juice. Keep mentioning him and before you know it he’ll be popping up.

Not sure what puppet we're talking about. But yes, Current, if things go well...and especially if we pop our cherries...you will receive full credit!....Probably extra credit at that point!

Someone will likely scream your name when they orgasm...;-)

BT

Ok, that's fair I guess...as long as I get the credit when it turns out amazing, which it will...

Current will just blaim the puppet ...

Shooting for next Saturday. And obviously if things go south it'll be Current's fault.

Now, go get busy!!

...and blame Current if the date falls apart ;-)

Just wanted to report back. My wife and I tried the wine tonight. My wife said "It's perfect!"....so I tried it. While I'm not exactly a connoisseur, I have to agree that, when it comes to the characteristics we were shooting for....nailed it!! So I'll buy another bottle tomorrow to take with us.

By the way, the actual name of it is... Carl Reh Piesporter Michelsberg Riesling Spatlese Mosel

Thanks for the suggestions!!

Richard's Wild Irish Rose < MD 2020, Boone's Farm. (< done intentionally) It's everything and less that you'd look for in a Bum Wine - 18% ABV, Screw Top, and a wonderful blend of "grape wine and citrus flavors". I can almost taste it coming back up still today.

@Forever
The standard of quality in the German wines assures that the grapes attain sufficient ripeness. So a lower alcohol level could imply that more of the sugar remains unfermented in the wine, hence a wine with higher "residual sugar" (sweetness). Once again these wines can have really dense acid that I would describe as almost grainy. This is particularly true in cooler vintages, and specifically vintages with cooler fall night time temperatures. They can be beautifully balanced, world class wines. The best can also age for a crazy long time (many decades).

Be sure to let us know about the date when Mrs. Forever is feeling better. Cheers.

Current- Will do. My wife is getting over bronchitis right now. But over the weekend she'll try it and I'll report back. Wasn't sure if Carl Reh was a good brand but I was just hoping it wasn't too sweet. The lady at the store said the lower the ABV the sweeter sometimes...this was among the lowest but she recommended it highly between the 2-3 Mosels they had. Thanks!!

@Forever

Let me know how you like the Carl Reh. Serve it nice and cold BTW.

Happy holidays

@hotlvrs: "Except for Travellers. We’d fuck them no matter what they brought to the house"

No Mad Dog for your party hotlvrs. We are definitely looking forward to the "Stag Leap" with you two. No pun intended of course (whistling)

I find the tuxedo boxers very James Bond! lol

...annnnd this is now officially a bum wine thread!!

Very top drawer!! ;)

Hey! :-) :-)

“Two-Buck Chuck” WAS a Charles Shaw red (Cabernet-like) table wine produced from :-) train-car loads :-) of red California grapes. Trader Joe’s sold the hell out of it, I don’t know.... maybe 15++ years ago (?) for $1.99 a bottle. For $ FIVE DOLLARS$$ it really was a great red, too! But, it was $TWO DOLLARS$ a bottle!

It wasn’t bad at all, Even here in “Wine Country” it was very popular. I haven’t bought any for a very long time. So, I don’t know if it’s even still being sold, or what the price is today. If it IS $2.00, I can’t see how they do it today OR how they did it earlier. My wine consumption has gone down considerably and I haven’t shopped at Trader Joe’s in a long time, so I don’t know......

SLO

Move over Two Buck Chuck... Here comes To Fuck Chuck...and his wife!

BT

To remove all doubt, I’m packing Opus One... Well, Opus 7.75, to be more accurate ;-)

Md-2020?!?

Oh, hell no! Anybody who brought that shit into my house would be escorted the fuck out.

Except for Travellers. We’d fuck them no matter what they brought to the house.

“Mad Dog” 20-20
I believe, is Mogan David 20% alcohol content. The “MD 20-20” nick-name was coined by the younger crowd of the time, for obvious reasons. It often back fired on the guys. Because......many of the unknowing gf’s often became very drunk, became very “sick” and tossed their cookies. I didn’t really understand what “projectile vomiting” meant until then. She was my 21-yo date from the university. She was, I discovered, more like an innocent 16-17 yo. She was so shit-faced, I had to take her to a friend’s place, along with her “grown-up” 20-yo girlfriend, and put her to bed there. Three in a bed, nursing her all night. Next AM, we took her to her parents’ home, where I found out she really lived (NOT the dorm), and I caught a huge blast of shit from mamma. Daddy kept his mouth shut and just smiled. Mamma tore him a new one, too! :-) :-) Dad gave her a couple shots of Jackie-D, and she recovered nicely. Her mom was a terror! An hour later, the 3 of us were back on the road, having Mexican chorizo and eggs breakfast. Mamma tried to get us married!!!! . NO, I never had sex with her. SO, Mad- Dog 20-20 needs a warning label!

SLO :-)

Travelers- Point taken on the "gesture". Just trying to make a good impression.

If you're ever bored, take a look at bumwine dot com or cultmoo's youtube channel where they made review vids trying various bum wines. Its entertaining.

Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, I don't recall ever drinking MD 20/20. I did sip a little Boones Farm, but not enough to start a party. Eventhough some "interesting stories" have come from these two fine libations, I am somewhat glad I went straight to JD. :)

Anytime we go to a house party, we usually take a nice bottle of red and one of white. It does not need to be perfect or their own favorite brand, but as hotlvrs said "The bottle is a gesture. It’s a way to express thanks and appreciation for being invited into their home". Heck, if it is not to their own liking and no other guests crack it open, they can re-gift it elsewhere and they will appreciate that too. Win or win either way!

If I can remember to do so, next time I might grab some Mad Dog or Boone's Farm as well, maybe with something funny written on it about "getting lucky" or what not. For most couples around our age, I suspect it will bring out a big smile and some fond memories :)

they still sell mad dog and all the boones farms stuff

Hey currentrider: If you are wanting to use wine for a "gratitude fuck". I can safely say I had a lot of success with MD 20/20 and anything made by Boone's Farm.

Of course that was nearly 40 years ago, but it worked pretty well back then. Retro and vintage stuff seems to be pretty popular these days. Might be worth a shot?
