  • QOTD: Minute Maid used to make this lemonaide soda that was so good. I think I’d have to use that as my answer, since I loved it so much and now it’s not around. I guess wines are like that, too, but this Minute Maid just made a mark on my brain that will never go away.

  • Billecart Salmon Rose can even be non-vintage for me though the 1991 was great as is the ’95. Not a fan of Moscato d’ Asti as they are always just too sweet and low alcohol for me though I do enjoy a few of the Muscat dessert wines occasionally especially if the bring the orange thunder for me.

    My favorite bubbly drink is Cheerwine soft drink made in my hometown of Salisbury,NC. You can pretty much only find it in the Carolinas.

    QOTD: Specher Root Beer, the smoothest, velvety, rich tasting Root beer ever brewed. Brewed by the Sprecher Brewery in Glendale, Wisconsin.

  • SpoiledinCalbyPinot

    QOTD: This goes back aways, Mountain Dew. At 10 years old you would
    put a Sweet Tart in a new bottle and this would fizz over.

    My wife has requested we by this Desert wine. I do not know
    if this expanding or messing up my palate.

    I can’t remember what it’s called but there was this one green bottle of fizzi from Italy. Gary V used it for a food pairing with Brian Freedman in some Youtube video (I know I’m being a lot of help here… but I just can’t remember).

    Outside of that, Fat Tire!
