what are you drinking right now?

[ozymandias]

Red Wine

(I'm off sherry for a bit!)

You still haven't told which sherry a cactus eater should try.

That depends upon your taste in Fortified Wines, there's "Port"--sweet, Amontillado-semisweet, Marsala--semisweet and dry, sherry--cream, dry and very-dry, Vermouth-semisweet.  Also different distillers have different tastes.  Your standard "Jug" of cream sherry for $3.99 a gallon can taste like cough syrup that you had when you were a kid.  And since we're about the same age, I'm sure you know what I mean.  Your expensive sherry's like Harvey's Bristol Cream are too sweet for me.  Cloying, in fact, a glass makes my teeth hurt, it's that sweet.  My preference is Christian Brothers cream sherry,not too sweet with a nutty after taste.  And it's half the cost of Harvey's Bristol Cream.

Amontillado is hard to find, I'v only seen it once in a large warehouse liquor store.  By the term, "cactus eater", I would assume a Dry sherry would be the preference.  But, caveat emptor, a good sherry is really a subjective choice, just like music.  It really varies from individual to individual.

Thanks, Ozy. That's more education in the genre than I have ever had. I will do some experimenting after this little bottle of tequila is about gone.

I'm still experimenting with liquors.  Right now, it's trying various types of Whiskey's, blended, single malt, Irish, Scottish, Southern USA, etc.

If our luck holds, we will never be done.

Made me think of this song ...


Water Of Love

High and dry in the long hot day
Lost and lonely in every way
Got the flats all around me sky up above
I need a little water of love

I've been too long lonely and my heart feels pain
Crying out for some soothing rain
I believe I have taken enough
I need a little water of love

Water of love deep in the ground
No water here to be found
Some day baby when the river runs free
It'll carry that water of love to me

There's a bird up in a tree sitting up high
Waiting for me to die
If I don't get some water soon
I'll be dead and gone in the afternoon

Once I had a woman I could call my own
Once I had a woman now my woman is gone
Once there was a river now there's a stone
You know it's evil when you're living alone

i fucking love that song.  reminded me of bob dylan, when i first heard it.  great album - before they Went Stadium. 

[SovaNu]

beautiful. i love Bob Dylan.

whose is that?

[ozymandias]

Mark Knopfler is an awesome guitarist and songwriter!

[SovaNu]

that was him?

[ozymandias]

I believe so, or if it wasn't him who wrote it, then he did a really great version of the song!
