Trying something out

...now THERE'S an idea...some of the other "donors" were more into Thunderbird and Boone's Farm...and don't forget Ripple...not the good stuff that comes in magnums...

Don't forget Two-Buck-Chuck!

...guess that one hadn't made it to La. yet...don't know it...

I'm no wine connoisseur but that is not a bad wine, especially for the price.

So I've heard... It's ridiculed more for it's "non-pretencious" price than it's quality.
I also have a tendency to think of it as "Two-Buck-Upchuck!", but that's probably not fair.

Boones Farm it ain't. No upchuck going on there unless you're working on your third bottle.

I was referring to the play on words, not personal experience!

...no wonder I don't know about it...it looks by that WIKI article that it graced the market shelves over 20 years after the time I posted in...a DOUBLE generation gap...

I gave blood a week and a half ago, and the phlebotomist got my beautifully - one stab, just exactly perfect in the arm. Almost didn't even feel it. That's the type of vampire I like.

I need to start that again. Last count was 2 gallons and 2 pints. But I am on so many meds they may not want it any more. Still need to check.

Definitely check. They have really loosened up on what meds they allow donors to be taking.

(I just hit the 2 gallon mark locally. That's after a decade or more donation hiatus. Previous to that hiatus I had easily passed the 2 gallon mark... don't remember by how much any more. That was a long time ago.)

In his old standup routines, Red Fox used to talk a out drinking "champipple"......Ripple and 7Up.

In my family when I was a lad, my dad used to make 200 gallons of wine a year for personal consumption and entertaining. We did a LOT of entertaining.

Hmmm, TAM, I can just see your mother out in the back yard, stomping on grapes a-la Lucille Ball.

It wasn't just her. We all stomped the grapes.

...kinda gave the wine a "special, family" flavor, huh...

We used to do that in our college dorm rooms, for both wine and beer (but in bigger containers than coke bottles).
