(sorry Rhaegar, I love you but I just couldn't help doing this dobie (((((Rhaegar))))) )
I think Maneshewitz is the best wine. Probably because it tastes a lot like grape juice; I don't like most wines.

I've had grape juice with fresca in it. Does that count?

I hate wine, wine is for whiners, I'm a guiness man.

Yech...I don't like alchoholic beverages. Only maneshewitz. Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :
And NyQuil Posted by Rhaegar The Fool (Member # 5811) on :
Im, Irish, so beer is in the blood, I don't like many strong liquors, but some I like.
Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :
The only beer I've had is Samuel Adams. I didn't like it, but maybe I'd like other kinds. Ever had Rock 'n Rye? That stuff is like 45% alchohol. Meneshewitz is about 14, and NyQuil is 11 I think. Posted by Julie (Member # 5580) on :

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
Whats wrong with grape juice and fresca?
Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :
I'm underaged too, but I can drink anyway.
T, what is fresca?
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
First of all, GAH!! >_< It's not so much that Manishevitz wine is all bad -- it's not. Their cream white and other light wines are lovely. It's the "traditional" one that tastes like cough syrup that I dislike. And I like sweet wines. Just not syrupy ones. *shudders*
Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
What is fresca? What is FRESCA!?!
Essentially, a caffeine free grapefruit soda that I was raised on. Very good.
Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :
oh, yeah...I forgot. I love grape soda! Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
Eruve, I hate to be this way, but I think I might need to whistle this if you don't want to delete all reference to illegal activities. You know I love you and all, even if I have sometimes wondered if you are an undercover cop.
Edit to add: I would only whistle it on the assumption that whistling doesn't assume the post will be deleted, just that it will be brought to the attention of the mods. We talk about a lot of illegal stuff on this board. This just trips my weird stuff-o-meter.

Try Harp, or Guiness, or Amber Bock Eruve.

Ooo and Killians Irish Red.

Are you serious? You want me to delete this? I don't pick up on sarcasm very well. It's not like I drink a lot. I said I don't like alcoholic beverages, I just have access if I do want it.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
I too am unsure if pooka is joking.
If not, may I point out that there are many legal ways for minor to obtain alcohol? Such as being served by their parents?
Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :
Rivka, that's exactly how I get it. Not really illegal.
Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
well, as long as that's clear. I wasn't kidding, though I did put some humor on the end. In fact I have a friend who really liked some kind of sweet kosher wine and was given some before she was 21. edit: If you were an undercover cop, you could conceivably be trying to ferret out playful illegality on the board.
Still, it seems odd you don't know what Fresca is. But it may be a western thing.

Maybe. We usually get off-brands of soda. I would have known what what you meant if you called it nee-hi, though.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
It is not at all illegal for a minor to drink alcohol served to them by their parents, guardians, or an adult that their parent has given permission to.
It is illegal for a minor to obtain alcohol without parental permission.
Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
Fresca is a Coca Cola product. Or maybe they bought it the way they did Barq's (root beer).
It's okay, we don't have mallomars out here. Hey, my whole associatioin with hatrack would be redeemed if someone could help me score some mallomars for my husband.
Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
Yeah, I guess a number of religious observances involve wine. <-- crazy mormons use water
Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :
*sigh* You figured it out, pooka. I'm a cop. My cover is blown. Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
You don't know how many times klutzy Annie has spilled sacrament water on her skirt and been everlastingly grateful it wasn't wine. Posted by Ayelar (Member # 183) on :
Heh, yeah, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a Jewish kid who hasn't been served alcohol legally. And this is a thread about Maneschewitz, for Pete's sake.
I found a kosher Riesling in an organic supermarket this weekend... I'm kicking myself for not picking it up and storing it until our next Seder or something. I have a really funny beer I picked up in Virginia this summer that I'm saving for Hanukkah... it's called "The Chosen Ale" and continues the pun throughout the label. I don't remember if it's kosher or not. It was from a whole series of beers with biblical references. Great stuff. Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
I found some monty python beer once. I still have the bottles. Posted by Rhaegar The Fool (Member # 5811) on :
Try and find an Irishman who hasn't gotten wasted at leats once.
Posted by Nick (Member # 4311) on :
692 days (a shade under two years) until I can go and buy my own alcohol!!! Then I'll PAAARTAAY. Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
Wow. Only 46 days until I can buy alcohol legally.

*is immensely jealous*
Posted by Danzig (Member # 4704) on :
Eruve please tell me you do not drink NyQuil for the taste. Actually, please tell me you do not drink NyQuil at all; that stuff is horrible.
Posted by Julie (Member # 5580) on :
I'd never heard of Fresca. But I'm an east coaster and grape soda is fairly uncommon after the age of six. Don't know why, though. It's good.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Isn't Fresca grapefruit soda?
Ayelar, kosher Riesling? *drools* Must be this one. Yum. Oh, lookit that! I didn't know there were so many kosher Rieslings! Like this one or this . . . mmmmmm!
Do you mean this beer? They're CA products, definitely kosher, and I hear fairly good, if you like beer.

Danzig, I drink it when I have a cold (or when I desperately need to sleep and can't). It does taste kinda bad, but I don't care. Now Pepto Bismol....Yuck!
Posted by Ayelar (Member # 183) on :
Yes, He'brew! Isn't it hilarious?
It might have been the Herzog I saw in the store... it was a simple white label. Looked interesting! I bet organic stores are good places to pick up decent kosher wine, actually.... *muses*
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
The He'brew is a great gimmick.
If it is the Herzog Riesling, definitely buy it. Most of their wines are good to wonderful; that one has been divine every year I've tasted.
And yeah, health food-type stores are great places to pick up a few varieties of kosher wine, Baron Herzog among them.
