Moderators widower2 Posted July 10, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 In moderation of course! I'm mostly a beer/wine guy. There are some really good wines for modest prices these days, like Dancing Bull Zin and the Menage a Trois red wine blend. Also Yellow Tail makes a great Chard, which is funny because I mostly don't like Chards, but theirs is good. Beer wise I'm hitting a lot of local microbrews, mostly ales and IPAs this time of year.

Members reader Posted July 16, 2021 Members Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 Hi widower2, LOL - thanks for sharing your lists. I mostly stick to water.:-) But I also love fruit smoothies and drinks mixed with club soda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators widower2 Posted July 23, 2021 Author Moderators Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Water is the wise move. The fruit smoothies are a great summer drink but too sweet for me. Rarely do liquor. Also believe it or not there are some decent "box wines" now...in years gone by they were terrible...but for ex. Black Box and Bota Box make some respectable ones. It is hit and miss though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reader Posted July 26, 2021 Members Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Thanks widower2. I'll have to give it a try and see what I can find at the store. I don't mind a glass of sangria so maybe these box wines would a good choice for mixing in some fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators widower2 Posted August 2, 2021 Author Moderators Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Yeah I think they would work for that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reader Posted August 7, 2021 Members Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 lol - thanks again widower2:-) Another favorite drink of mine are Pina Coladas.:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators widower2 Posted August 11, 2021 Author Moderators Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 I do very little of mixed drinks. Something like that once in a great while in the summer would be OK. But the mixers are mostly too sweet for me and hard liquor alone or with water mostly tastes bad to me... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reader Posted August 11, 2021 Members Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 That's a good point about the sweetness. I do have to have to watch my sugars.:-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators widower2 Posted September 2, 2021 Author Moderators Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 Just bought these sparkling flavored waters that are about 5% alcohol - low carb and low sugar, thought worth a try! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SSC Posted September 3, 2021 Members Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 I bought a bottle like this. Clementine Berry…I still haven’t opened it yet but it sounds good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators widower2 Posted December 15, 2021 Author Moderators Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 I had a cabernet wine, which is heavier and "redder" than I wanted, but I had it on hand and made the turkey pretty spiced up, so You? Debating what to get for Christmas/New Years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reader Posted December 21, 2021 Members Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Hi widower2, I tried a can of Pinot Grigio and can of vodka/soda water. I can't recommend it.:-) What did you decide for Christmas? Sticking with sparkling apple juice because of my nephew.:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators widower2 Posted December 29, 2021 Author Moderators Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 I was out of town for the holiday and was drinking what my best friend had on hand, some local brew. It was OK. Now that I'm back I have some Dancing Bull Zin on hand which is a fav and only around $10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reader Posted December 29, 2021 Members Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 Glad you were with your friend over Christmas. Good of you try the local brew.:-) I'll have to look for the Dancing Bull Zin. Thank you for the suggestion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
