Principal's office..... think that's where Spike said we'd hold the poker game. I'm on the way!

Invite seven women over and ask their wine preferences and you'll get seven different answers. "I only drink Chardonnay," "I only drink red," "Red wine gives me a headache. I can only drink rose." and on it goes...Geesh..This grading party will turn into a wine tasting event! I'm buying Riesling and Prosecco and they can bring whatever they want.
- hotwine - 06-04-2003
Bingo! Good choices. And let 'em eat cake!

Today I found a selection of Bully Hill wines in local liquor store, so I grabbed a bottle of Riesling for the girls. Was tickled to see it came from Foodie's hometown. Incidentally, Foodie, the book just arrived and looks great! (So do you, by the way!) [img]http://205.243.144.43/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]

Oh No!!! I hope you didn't drink the Bully Hill!!!! I've been there twice. The best I can say about them is that the view is very nice. Every wine i've ever had from Bully Hill has absolutely sucked. And to think I backed you on the Showtime. Shame, Georgie.
- Kcwhippet - 06-04-2003
Oh yeah, great. My wife also said Foodie was kind of cute. I'll just never understand women.
- Georgie - 06-04-2003
Hey, what do I know? I was told to look for FL Riesling and having found one, I thought my quest was over. I'll just have to open it early before the girls arrive and see if I like it enough to serve. Thanks for the warning. And about men not understanding women? That's just the way it's supposed to be, dear. [img]http://205.243.144.43/ubb2/tongue.gif[/img]

C'mon, I passed cute a long time ago--now I am into exceedingly handsome...
Re, the Bully Hill Riesling: really sorry that is all you could find. Not representative of the best of the region.

"That's just the way it's supposed to be, dear."
Gotta check the moon phase to know how to even talk to one....

If Bully Hill Riesling tasted like cat pee, it would be an improvement. Don't tell me D, excuse me Georgie, that you've never seen a negative post about them, or a have seen a positive post about them. The standard line is good food, great view, bad wine. Old Man Taylor (R.I.P.) made decent wine for a while there, but then it went to hell in a hand bucket.
- Georgie - 06-05-2003
I did the search on it after I bought it, and you are correct, there are no positive comments on this wine. Next time I need you guys to tell me, "Look for FL Rieslings, but for heaven's sake don't buy Bully Hill!" I'll use it for toilet bowl cleaner. Glad to find this out before i served it! All part of the learning process.
- Georgie - 06-05-2003
HW,honey, you are asking for trouble with that comment.
- wondersofwine - 06-05-2003
I've met Foodie in person and he is cute (even if he aspires to exceedingly handsome.)
- Innkeeper - 06-05-2003
KC thinks he looks like David Coffaro. What do you ladies think? http://www.coffaro.com/tour3.html
- Georgie - 06-05-2003
Well, maybe a little..just because of the beard, probably. Foodie's cuter.
- Thomas - 06-05-2003
IK, Coffaro looks like you--but that could be the result of my high definition screen...
WOW, I used to think you were a kind person.

I know them all (Dave, Foodie and IK), and they do sort of look alike, now that you mention it. Foodie may be just a bit altitudinally deprived relative to the other two, but the similarity is there.
- ShortWiner - 06-05-2003
You callin' him SHORT?
- hotwine - 06-05-2003
See there? Wrong moon phase.
- Thomas - 06-05-2003
"Short people got no reason to live..." R.Newman.
He ain't saying I'm SHort--but they are taLL.
