I'm drinking merlot. I don't like merlot,
Edited on Thu Jul-12-07 10:22 PM by LaraMN
but the more I drink, the less bad it tastes.

That's the nice thing about booze. How many other things become decreasingly abhorrent as you progress in your consumption of them?

I'm not drunk.

1. some facts
Merlot is a mixing wine to make blends with other wines, but for some reason, people drink it straight. Personally, I prefer a Merlot Cabernet blend, but thats just me, your taste buds may be different.

3. The best wine I have ever had
was from Chile, and it cost 55 bucks. It was worth it, both for the taste and the girl I drank it with...:9

5. That sounds like a memorable experience!
My IL's had some really good wine at their house a few months ago, but I can't remember what it was, because I drank the entire bottle.

11. I always get a good innuendo. Or a bad one.
I just can't discern the difference in an inebriated state.

I'm not drunk.

20. Mmmmmm, Cabernet in a Box
Now you're talkin' the good stuff!!!

(it's not really in a box. There's a mylar balloon in there holding the wine. Sort of a space-age bota.)



This Merlot you're drinking, did it have a cork? Made of cork? Twist-off caps are a lot simpler, no special tools required.

:rofl:
:hi:

19. I don't drink things I consider abhorrent.
If I have to drink more of it to make it palatable - I just don't drink it. :)

Me? I love a good merlot. A poor merlot is worthless, but a good one is a fine drink. I prefer Cab, though.
