....Also, in the finger lakes here in NY we get a bunch of Reisling, and Chardonnay. Great white wine.

 

Since you are lucky enough to live in the Finger Lakes if you want a great,  great white wine try Ravat 51, also known as Vignoles.  It's generally sweet, can be served fairly warm because of outstanding taste.  Unique to America, mostly Finger Lakes.  Bully Hill sells it nationally but in the Finger Lakes there are others available.

I have had it. OUTSTANDING wine. I believe the "Ravat 51" refers to the scientific designation or name it received from the Cornell experimental station in Geneva, and Vignoles I believe may be the name on the bottle, or do I have it reversed? Anyway, it is very good, as are almost all the whites in this area.

We also have a Dr. Frank Konstintin, who was one of the first vintners to say we could grow viniferas here in the fingerlakes, and he even trys to grow MERLOT in our climate. He does make very good wine, but he has some wild ideas also.

Do we really need two different threads where pretentious assholes measure each other's dicks with a pint glass?

 

 

You go to a thread titled "God Loves Drunks," then complain that everyone is talking about beer.  

 

And we are the assholes.

 

 

EDIT: I missed the "& Fools" part.  Sorry.

Its the Super Bowl, what else do we do this weekend besides, DRINK, eat anything that has BACON or CHEESE on it, and is fried, PRAY our numbers in our squares come in, watch porn, DRINK some more, and then hopefully have enough left for the old lady.

I don't bother praying that my numbers in my squares come up.  I go in knowing that I've already lost.

They don't drink it warm.  English cask ales are typically served at cellar temperatures (~50 degrees F).  The warmer temp, combined with the lower carbonation, supposedly makes the malt and hop flavors jump out.

 

Personally I'm not a fan of cask beers.

 

Another fallacy is that Guinness is served warm in Ireland. I spent my honeymoon there.  Considering Irish food is terrible, I lived on beer for two weeks, so I drank plenty of Guinness.  They serve it the same way it is served here.

 

 

 

Not sure when you were there but you should think about going back to Ireland, they've had a food renaissance and now have some of the finest restaurants in Europe.  I was there last October and had some of the best food I've had n my life.  I was on the way back from Italy so I know good food.  :winking0001:

 

And yes, Guinness tastes better in Ireland.

I was there the summer of '06, so it wasn't too long ago.

Did you try any Kilkenny beer while you were there? Great, great stuff. And near impossible to get in the U.S.

The owners lucked into it.

 

They abandoned the tradition of putting the league's premiere event in a warm weather city in favor of a potentially frozen wasteland, all for greed.  And they won anyway.  It will probably cool off a little by game time, but the game should be played in its entirety in the 40's, or at worst high 30's.  Weather will not be a factor in the outcome.

 

The owners don't deserve this weather.  They deserve something more typical, like 25° and dropping by game time, 15 mph winds and snow changing to freezing rain.  They're actually going to get away with this.

 

 

actually the average temp around this time is about 40

I tried everything including kilkenny, delicious.  Actually got stuck inside the guinness brewery after it closed and ended up drinking with the band that was performing at the brewery for arthur's day (look it up, awesome holiday).  Wife and I loved Dublin, will definitely be going back.

Guinness at their brewery in Dublin is simply fantastic, as it is anyplace in Ireland. Not sure if they ship it here or they license to brew it locally in North America, but it's not the same experience. Regardless it also served cold there. May be not iced up but cold.
