MAKE MINE A DOUBLE!
Usually I am ‘late for the party’ for Sean’s MEMEs – but not this time !
- Do you have a favorite alcoholic drink?
I have several “favorites” rather. I like wine with dinner, and champagne as as treat. Whisky/bourbon is my “snort of choice”. Right now a dry manhattan and a dry martini are competing for my favorite cocktail. But summer time calls for “windex” (recipe in my blog somewhere). But if I have to choose just one (bottle) to bring to the desert island, I would bring a good bottle of bourbon.
2. What kind of wine do you prefer?
Again this depends on my mood and the weather. My favorite is Malbec (at the moment). I am also fond for a earthy red wine called Baco noir.
3. Do you have a favorite beer?
I like’em dark, slightly bitter, and spicy – like my men. I like stouts.
4. Can you taste the difference between vodkas?
Heck yes. I have a good palate for discriminating wine, gin, vodka, and whiskies. I like the good stuff, no rubbish.
5. Are you a top shelf or rail kinda person?
Let’s face it, I’m a booze-snob.
6. What was your most memorable (good, bad or embarrassing) drinking experience?
In college, in a bibulous state, I literally put on the lamp side. There goes dignity, and my good Henley Street name.
BONUS
Have you ever drunk dialed?
If this means have I ever called someone while tipsy, the unfortunate answer is yes. I recall ordering pizza trying to sound oh so sober; I did not fool anyone.
Sean – I am surprised: usually the ‘bonus question’ is of a lurid and lascivious nature. I expected something along the line of ‘have you ever streaked while intoxicated’ or ‘Have you ever had sex with someone only because you were too drunk to say no?”

I don’t think you’re a snob when you know and taste the difference. I think you’re only a snob when ‘like’ something to show others how much better you are then them.
I thought of you and wanted a whiskey question but didn’t know enough about them to write one.
I did have a question about “beer goggles” but forgot it. Thanks for noticing. 🙂 You know you can always answer any question with sexual exploits. Your fans want to know!

Umm what are meme about I wonder.
I would say
1. Champagne Jacquesson
2. White Sicilian Grillo from Marsala
3. Beer? No thank you.
4. Yes if it is a Polish potato vodka
5. I am an open minded drinker as long as it meets certain quality standards.
6. Drinking a Moullion Duhard Rothchilds 1969.
Bonus No I would not do such a thing, I mean do you know any gentleman who would?

#1 – you have a nice sense of humor.
#2 – As usual your tastes never cease to marvel me; and they beat mine!
#3 – Have you ever had Pol Roger?
#4 – about that bonus question; either I am no gentleman or you need to loosen up. I can’t wait to put a chapeau aux lampshade on you this summer.

Nice sense of humour? It’s a good champagne a very good one in fact.
2. When I come to Phoenix, I will get Someone to drive me to the nearest wine emporium and I shall build you a wine cellar of about 5000 bottles so that you are covered in case of emergency.
3. No I am not fond of Pol Roger.
4. I am certain that you are distinguish and polished though the painted toe nails is another matter all together. Loosen up, Ah! I am a bon vivant. Only 3 more weeks before we go to Europe.

L: un bien riposte!
– I expect you to put out (as it were) and let me try this bubbly of bubblies.
– 5000? I will settle for 5 really good bottles!

Non Non Monsieur, you need a serious cellar to make the Jones next door and the psychiatric community envious of your good taste. 5 Bottles will last you 5 days, that’s like putting $1 of gas in your car.
I wonder if we can find Jacquesson in Phoenix, the bottles are numbered, small producer but then again maybe you can find it. Put out? I am usually hired like all my Italian Princely friends, a small fee for appearing, I am a poor pensioner.

Monopolova vodka, made from potatoes in Poland, is our favorite. Sold at Trader Joe’s, nowhere else that I have seen. Cheap. Tawdry. Yet so smooth.
But since I’m not often at TJ’s — the nearest one to us in The Woods is an hour & a half away down the hill towards Sacramento — we end up buying Svedka, from Sveden. It gets the job done.

I like’em cheap, tawdry, and smooth – like my men.

good grief, too many revelations here.

P.S. I inadvertently added an extra “on” to my name, which is probably a Freudian Slip. So perhaps I should heretofore be known as “Cameron-and-on-and-on.

I figured you were coiffing your name for the summer!

Yikes, I’m afraid I’m a liquor philistine here.
So sad.
Heck I probably couldn’t tell the difference between rubbing alcohol and the finest of vodkas….which makes me a pretty cheap date, so there’s that. 🙂

My dearest Spo,
So what is your answer to your own bonus question…
Have you had sex with someone only because you were too drunk to say no?
Inquiring minds want to know…..
(And you guessed properly with me because my answer to that question is ……yes…..)

Is this a question, a challenge, or an invite?
