Wine.Woot does Sake

I've been remiss in my weekly Wine.Woot reviews because most people know them by now and I can't tell you anything that's not already in the forums. One thing I can say is that week after week, they've had consistently good wines at a substantial savings and always US$5 shipping. Even if they didn't save you money on the wine itself, the shipping alone would make the wines worth it.

This week though they've strayed from the path of traditional grape wines and have put out G Sake for the offering. Now, this sake isn't that stuffy from Japan that makes you work 70 hour work weeks and stuffs you in to a commuter train, no sir! This stuff is made in Oregon and is as laid back as a stroll on a sunny day. It normally sells for US$20 a bottle but Wine.Woot has 3 bottles of the stuff for US$44.95. Did I mention the $5 shipping?

If you're new to sake, this is a great way of trying it out without having to go through the long process of learning what everything means. No guarantee that you won't suddenly find yourself searching the Internet for strange porn though.

I'm glad you posted this, as I've completely forgotten to check wine.woot each week. Of course, I'm now trying to decide if I should be $49.99 poorer (or God forbid $139.97 poorer to save on shipping). If anything, this would be a great default gift for other people.

Mixology Monday 7 - Gang Grape: The Second Pressing

I'm hosting the August version of Mixology Monday. You might say to yourself "Rick, August is a long way off. Tell me at the end of July." To this I say, "No." This coming weekend is the 4th of July. Then you'll be on vacation or something. Then you'll have that thing. Next thing you know, it'll be August. So, I warn you now. It's coming. It'll be here before you know it. So write about the topic and let me know and we'll post it on Mixology Monday. If you're looking for a way to promote your blog, this is a good way to do it. Topic: Grape drinks (Not wine). A pretty broad topic. It could be about Cognac, or Sherry, or something that only you may know about and want to share with us. BRING IT ON!

Mx Monday - Grapes

Well, I waited until the last minute of Monday (Pacific Time) to wait for all the entries for this Mixology Monday and I'm glad I did! I was thinking of going through all of them and commenting on the post with a rating or something like "Here's a sucky post about Cognac" but then decided that would wear me out. I'm very fragile. Over at "Interesting Thing of the Day" Joe talks about Coffee, Grapa, and Friendship Yay! Jimmy makes a Fog Cutter! Go Sherry! Okay, Grape Vodka isn't great by itself in my opinion. But Barbie2Be makes a Grape-tini that looks simply yummy. That's right, I said it. Yummy. Man it's hot. I sure could use a drink, something refreshing yet good for my urinary tract. Marleigh at Sloshed! comes through with Deep Purple Punch . Darcy, The Royalty of All That Is Alcohol at The Art of the Drink, brought out a zinger with the Broken Spur Cocktail Haalo spends a little time telling us more about Brandy and mixing it wi...

New Absinthe's on the market

Only 8 months after real absinthe has become legalized in the U.S., the importers and overseas producers have really started taking advantage of the buzz and mystique that absinthe holds and launching like crazy here. With more absinthe launches than vodka lately, it may not be long until the brands are just as gimmicky. Three new absinthe's have launched this week in hopes of garnering early market share in a soon-to-be-crowded market. La Fee Absinthe Parisienne is made in Paris and has been around for a while as it's been sold in 20 countries for the last 10 years or so. The product is made by traditional standards and the owner of the recipe still approves each batch of La Fee. For a while, Lucid Absinthe was the only one you could get in the US as it wasn't made from the traditional Grand Wormwood (until March of 2007) so it could get away with going around the law. The producers guessed that the stuff that was considered a fake (but still very flavorful) wasn'...
