SA Footy

I’ve moved on. To a 2014 bottle of Max Schubert Penfold Shiraz.

What was is it like? Can you taste the rice influence or is it more like it has less flavor because of the rice?

Rice.... in Shiraz?

Just having a 2000 Yalumba Shiraz.A tad past it, so am I, but I will see the bottle off.

Its a Wolf Blass grey label shiraz with the beef in red wine tonight. First glass only ok. May need a second , third or fourth opinion.

The grey label has always been a winner.

Been enjoying these lately, not as sweet as CC and dry and have been looking for an alternative to coke based spirits.

I’ve been drinking them for a while now.
Far less sugar than CC’s which makes for a better taste.

Generally cheaper than CC as well which is a bonus.

Agreed, they go down very easily.

Kraken spiced rum

Smoothest rum I’ve had. Absolutely Beautiful

Slapped a 4 pack of these down Saturday night after being on the beers at the footy on Saturday. Went down a treat.

How much and where?

I find the CC premixes give me a toothache the next day, even by only having a few.

I've ditched the cola all together now at home and just go CC's, soda water with a slice of lime in it, I don't mind having a couple using tonic water though for a difference.

My Mrs got them for me to try from Liquorland as they had a cross promotion with Coles - 4 pack for $10.

Having a look at Dans and they price up about the same as normal RTD spirits - $80 odd for a carton

can't go past the Jacks and Dry IMO if you're looking for that type of plonk

When I'm done on beer for a day or night CC/Jacks and dry the way to go, agreed. Can't do coke mixes anymore, that's where my hangover is.

I just simply can’t fathom this.

Me too, I'm curious as to what their husbands drink.










PS I may or may not have been known to have a vodka and lemonade late at night but I can't confirm or deny those rumours due to being inebriated at the time.

Scotch and lemonade, heaps of it...

When I’m done with beer, I go grab another one.
