    Cream Soda – memories of time with my Grandmother. My mom would never let me have soda as a kid and Grandma was always stocked. Grandparents are awesome!

  • Gary, don’t see what you like about Beringer. Their wines have gotten worse and worse with time. Every one I’v had in the last 7-10 years has been way overoaked. Treana is up and down in quality for me. Having a Kilkannon 2004 with steaks tonite. If it’s Dr. Browns then Cherry. What about Celray”

    Dude! Biting your desk AND the little wooden platform for displaying your selections for Friday’s show? CLASSIC! The Oak Monster is definitely in full effect!

    QOTD: I’m a big fan of cream soda. I’m admittedly torn between A&W and Barq’s. I usually reserve the Root Beer for whenever I go drinking out in the city with friends, if I can.

    QOTD: While I’m a big fan of root beer, cream soda edges it out by a hair. I’ve gotta go with cream soda.

  • QOTD: Cream Soda, with Milk – but you have to pour the milk first to get a little foam action. ;0

  • QOTD: Gotta be root beer – but it’s gotta be from a KEG.

    Draft root beer is some of the finest fizzy beverage you can imbibe.

    Definitely a Barq’s Rootbeer fan, Creme Soda 2nd. BTW, I think you were far too kind to the blends. You may want to try Sokol-Blosser’s Meditrina III if you can find it. In fact, I’ll recommend it to you through corkd.com

    Root Beer all the way!!!

    (This wine has as much wood as a 9th grade gym class with cute girls in it)
    should be the next t-shirt!!

  • Root beer FTW, but cream soda is a very, very, very close second.

    LESSON FOR TODAY:
    Do NOT have the 79-GV-rated Beringer for breakfast – it gives “morning wood” a whole new meaning!

    Hilarious, Gar’ – by the last taping, you were as goofy as if you’d pulled an all-nighter for exams!

    QOTD: Root Beer — better yet, a Root Beer Float!

  • QOTD: Birch Beer. It’s like root beer, but (and I can’t believe I’m saying this) more cultured and complex, and intriguing, and profound.

  • QOTD – root beer
    Props on the hilariousness – you were really ‘on’ this day shooting all this back to back.
