SuperXO,
We sure are
Same here. Ever since I went on a 3 week trip with one of my brothers to Chile(when I was an active) I've developed this taste for it. I wouldnt say I'm expert or anything but I do want to learn more about it. Sounds like we like the same kinds of wines. Never heard of the Gerwertaminer though. I've always wanted to do the Napa thing. My grandfather lives in Sacramento and has a nice sized bar in his house. Both my Dad and my grandfather are big scotch drinkers. I didnt really follow suit with that though. If I drink scotch I have to chase it with something. Lately, I like a nice wine and when I feel adventurous I might go for a nice dark beer, a margarita(rocks), or a shooter of some kind. Not as hard core as my rock star college days *L*
Nice to hear you share that love for Guiness. I definitely am partial to black and tans also. We have this awesome Irish bar in Northern Virginia in old town alexandria and its kind of a family irish pub. I havent been there in awhile but the last time I went they had an guitar player singing irish tunes and it was so much fun.
That thing your boyfriend did with you sounds like loads of fun. I never have gone out drinking and write down on the cards. I'd say that funnest thing bar wise I used to do was Bar Crawl. Some of those drinks you had sound familiar. Esp. the purple hooter shooter, the lemon drop and the buttery nipple. I will still stick with my favorite, A Red Death(an alabama slammer and a kamikazee mixed together. Mind Erasers and Bahama mamas are good too.

Plus, I also love guiness! We're real Irish fans around my house, so our pal Guiness makes an appearance at all our parties. DEFINITELY an acquired tatte. When I want to go light, I get a black and tan!
however, when I am out on the town, I love vodka collins, margarita on the rocks and apple martinis. But, I'll try anything! We have several bar books at my house, so we love to experiment.
I did the most fun thing on my 21st bday! My bfriend took little notecards and every drink I had, he wrote down the name, the time I took it and who bought it for me. Then, I signed my name after each one. I had 13 shots that night!! And after each successive one, my name kept getting messier and less legible. It's a great memento because it's funny, reminds me of all the friends that were with me and helps me remember what I actually drank because of course, I could never remember on my own. Some of them I remember were: Scooby Snack, Oatmeal Cookie, lemon drop, screaming orgasm, purple hooter shooter, slippery nipple, blow job and a couple of those other great, typical 21st birthday shots. Unfortunately, i don't know how to make most of them, but some of them were oh-so-good!
Did anyone else do that?
