They always bring back wine to our HQ as gifts - gud for me:-)
The consensus among our bosses and us workers is that Chilean wines are in a class of their own and surprisingly not too expensive.
My favs. are Erazuris, Carmen - I like a sauvignon blanc grape.....
Rosemount and Wolf Blast are I think Australian and these are excellent.
There's a lovely fruity summery German wine called "Bend in the River".
Spanish - Castillo Diabalo.....
Blossom Hill - nah, too vinegarish for my palette:-) - sorry to all my Californian pals here:-)
Michael Lynch is a good french wine
And my favourite wine quote: "If the bottle can hold it, so can you"!
Salut to all you wine lovers:-)

Wonderful list Alana.
I am going to try some Chilean wine you recommend.
I like Wolfblast too and yes it is Austrailian.

Just for Purrfect my dear Chocolate:-) May I suggest a a Torres Nerola Red
Description : This wine offers pleasing notes of fruit (raspberry, ripe cherry) on a backdrop of toast and spices reminiscent of mocha coffee and vanilla, and acquired during its ageing in French oak. A velvety palate is complemented by its firm and elegant body:-)
Next time a drop of wine hits my tastebuds, I'll be thinking of you and Little Sparrow.
Cheers my beauties:-)

Purrfect, Tequila is the one drink I have never tried......to be honest I'm a bit scared of it....I've seen grown men - heavy drinkers - who usually can "hold their drink" - collapse to the ground like rag-dolls!!!! after a few tequilas.....I know I'd be that "rag doll" after one sip!!knowing me:-) - more rag than doll!!:-)

Yet people still drink it. There is nothing fun about getting hammered in 2 seconds flat only to pass out and not remember where you are. lol!!
Only drink it if you are feeling masochistic : )

tequila rose is a strawberry & cream liqueur. I don't even know if there is tequila in it as I haven't had huge quantities of it .... unlike the Mexican tequila.
It is quite light and yummy. It has a consistency comparable to Bailey's.

ahhh gottcha.
It is around 2 pm here which means I have to sit here not moving for several more hours so I don't do the tell-tale walk. And they wanted me to order a martini! If one glass of wine could knock me on my ass ... could you imagine a martini? eeeshhh ... sadists.
I hope I didn't piss Cookie off. I always seem to say the right thing to piss him off.

I'll have to go back and read what happened with Cookie. If he's a typical leo he'll get over it. Fixed influences are being walls right now. Look around the board. You can see it here too.

I have a strong leo .... leo moon. My scorp is weak though ... it is mercury. (I consider mercury placement a weaker placement. I might be wrong though.)
I felt it more last week when I told my ex to get lost. I feel very good about that decision.

chocolate, I try to. My job requires paying attention to a lot of little details and I tend to space out when I am hungover. Not that it doesn't happen. But wine is the WORST hangover for me. I won't even want to get out of bed.
And how are u?

Mercury is a strong placement. Most of what you do stems from some idea or thought. It originates there. Decisions even. With all that libra in your chart having scorp here must be a life saver as far as decision making is concerned.
