wine in my 7up at 4

I used to play soccer with the local kids in richmond. during the world cup I think it was mid 80s I want to say 82? Italy won and my friend was Italian we went to his house to watch the game and at age 12 I was served Red Wine my god it tasted awful but I wanted to be polite so I drank it anyway and watched the game. my dad always introduced me to EPL and had me follow Man United since I was old enough to understand. (sidenote: we had Lou Macari and Stuart Pearson stay at our house while they played a friendly for Team Canada vs The Whitecaps.) while I was raised on EPL I dont think I ever saw crazy like that day in 1982 by a bunch of drunk Italians... .man that was awesome

sounds familiar ... probably made at home ... probably best cut with 7 up

as kids, my dad would always buy grapes from the refrigerated trucks that came up from california and make wine ... lets just say he was not a skilled winemaker!!! ... but he had the press and we had a canava in the basement so he gave it a go every year

/ ruined my palate ... i seriously cant tell if a wine has gone bad now

many moons ago, my dad and I were staying in some hotel in northern Italy - on near the Dolomites.
we got back after dinner (and a couple of bottles of wine of course), and the owner of the hotel had a tiny bar set up in the lobby. He wanted us to try his grappa.
so he poured us a couple of shots, and it was just fucking awful. I had a sip, and handed the rest to my dad. My dad NEVER wastes booze.
barkeep asks us how we like it, and we said it was a little rough. He says, "OK, I have better one... try this" and moves one bottle to the right on his shelf.
repeat, it was a little better, but still pretty rough. moves to the bottle to the right.
repeat, repeat, repeat
5 shots later, the last one was finally palatable, and my dad was fucking plastered (I had 4 prior sips, meaning he had 8 prior shots)

drinking it straight is pretty rough ... I dont mind it in coffee though

when we went to Niagara Falls about 10 years back I bought an "ice grappa" that ended up getting stolen out of our rental car ... really need to track that down and try it

Coffee + Tom& Jerry. My morning is set.

 

[SLY]

not sure how i have no hangover...

 

[TOX1]

Got about 3 hours sleep and feel pretty damn good. Weird.


Where the hell is Matt??!

 

[SLY]

Beats the hell outta me. Slacker.

 

[TOX1]

No doubt. I wonder if he's still working his roach coach?

 

[SLY]

I think he said he was real busy with that. Must be doing good. I hope so.

 

[TOX1]

I hear that.

How'd the draft party go?

 

[SLY]

lol, good, I like my team... I got pretty ripped, lol. A couple people ended up just crashing at my place.

 

[TOX1]

Cool on both. Good luck!


Really looking forward to this huge ass concert tomorrow.

ROCK ALLEGIANCE 2012 :: Hershey, PA

We (3 of my son's and me) are locked, cocked and ready to rock baby!

 

[SLY]

Nice enjoy. STP puts on a great show.

Weiland is one hell of a frontman.

 

[Bizzle McDizzle]

Heroin is inspirational.


Just chilling this morning in Syracuse with a 3 legged dog.
