Seen it. Wherein is taste used as an excuse for getting drunk? When his book deal falls through and he decides to drink the wine that he denigrated just minutes before? Or moments after, when he drank from the spit bucket?

Vietnam snake wine. I have not had the stuff with the snakes in it myself, but I did buy a few bottles as gifts.

yeah, it was primed to fail, and that's what they wanted.

Grey Goose is good, and I use it for mixes and such, but DH is right, Belvedere is where it's at.

That's just my point. Do what you want with it. That's my vision.
It's not an excuse. It makes the journey more enjoyable. Boire, c'est croire.

I thought for the longest time that there was not difference with expensive alcohol and wine until I drank a sip of Johnny Walker blue label and some expensive wine. And yes the more expensive the product is, the taste is incredible, it really taste like silk, you do not taste the alcohol at all.
