The I'm drunk thread

Tawny? Ruby? Late Bottled Vintage?

I was measuring some things at a client’s new house the other day. The previous owners hadn’t yet moved out, and I got to talking about the collection of port that the guy had in a rack in his basement. He had maybe 10-12 bottles, and he showed me they were all civil war era. 1863 I think. I found an 1863 bottle of port in an auction listing, and it sold for about $1200.

He drinks it, too. Said he has been offered large sums of money for his collection but he always turns them down because then he wouldn’t have the wines to drink.

This just surfaced on Facebook. A very drunk Prankster, Halloween 2005.

I am trying to figure out what in the hell you’re supposed to be, and all I’m coming up with is “drunk”.

RichVR · 2012-01-06T08:41:10.000Z

Badly dressed drunk who can’t find his goggles?

merryprankster · 2012-01-06T09:35:06.000Z

Well, “Hawaiians and Ties” was kinda a thing back in college, but yeah I think that Mightynute probably hit pretty close.

That always amazes me when I see stuff to drink that is that expensive. I don’t get the whole $50 bottle of wine thing already. I really don’t get the $1200 bottle of port.

Then again, I’ve always been pretty much a beer drinker to the exclusion of all else. An office party years ago with an open bar and me not knowing what a long island tea was, and downing two or three of them in rapid succession cured me of drinking the harder stuff.

Oh, and I’m not drunk now. Is that a prerequisite for posting in this thread?

thrasymedes · 2012-01-06T10:18:05.000Z

Yes, but if you get drunk later you can claim retroactive partial credit.

mrmolecule88:

Speaking of facebook and women, I just noticed my ex of 3.5 years defriended me sometime in the last few months.

I don’t really know what to feel about that.

She has found someone new and feels it is easier defriending you than explaining you.

Had a job interview at the proverbial “dream job” today at a winery in Napa. As a parting thank you gift they gave me a bottle of 2007 cab sav. The g/f doesn’t like alcohol when you can taste it, so I’ll be putting this bottle away myself tonight.

<Gary>See you guys in the emergency room.</Gary>

RichVR · 2012-01-06T17:30:23.000Z

Are you allowed to mention the brand? Just curious.

shift6 · 2012-01-06T18:02:06.000Z

The bottle is: http://www.chateaustjean.com/2007-chateau-st-jean-cabernet-sauvignon-cinq-cepages-sonoma-county

I am also surprised, FWIW, because that ain’t no consolation prize. Jesus, it will be cool to work for such a place.

RichVR · 2012-01-06T18:09:28.000Z

Wow. Enjoy that stuff, man. Let me know what you think of it.

Mightynute · 2012-01-06T19:00:00.000Z

I have managed to wind up at an artists’ loft party somehow. I do not know anyone here, I just happened to walk by with a camera and the next thing I know I am at a party. So far I am sticking to Dark & Stormys so I should be able to make it out of here alive.

tl;dr - surrounded by hipsters, send more alcohol

edit: holy shit there is performance “art” I am so out of here…

RichVR · 2012-01-06T20:32:23.000Z

Hipster would mean that there isn’t enough alcohol because they all brought their own bottles. Be it wine or liquor. And to have a small drink you would have to hear a story. A story about how only they know about the bottle they are holding.

And would you like a taste?

No don’t drink it like that. Let it emerge in your palate. Be one with the fine taste of this <alcoholic drink here>.

Bitch, I’m here to get drunk, so I don’t kill all a yall!

Keep on being this person…as far as I know, the most expensive beer is the Utopia brewed by Sam Adams which is $100 for 12 oz, or something close to that.

There are so many wines & single malt scotches that sell for more than $200 for 25.5 oz (750 ml). And they are really really good.

Good port is fucking awesome. Here’s a thread I came across earlier tonight that had value ports ranging between $65 - $200 US dollars. And I thought, cool, finally a really good, semi-affordable red wine.

This is part of the reason why I don’t buy video games at full price any more.

Sidd_Budd has been my QT3 semi-secret mancrush for years and let me tell you, it just keeps getting better.

RichVR:

It was damn fine, Rich. Even the g/f liked it for half a glass, far more than she normally drinks. Primarily cab sav flavors but the other four Bordeauxs blended in really smoothed the tannins and flavors out so that it pleasantly lingered with a flat trajectory rather than being pointed at any time.

There was a bit left so I just poured a touch just now and am having it with sharp cheddar. My only description is: Holy Fucking Shit. The sharpness of the cheese conditions the tongue, then the wine hits and it’s just all fruit and all grape and all earth with not even the vaguest hint of alcohol or acidity.

MIND BLOWN

So make a note wine drinkers: try a bordeaux blend with a sharp cheddar and see if you aren’t, just, experiencing something.

Dravalen · 2012-01-07T20:14:12.000Z

Sharp cheddar also goes fantastic with quality beers.

Speaking which I’m currently working my way through a bottle of Westmalle Tripple, it’s quite fantastic and I’m pretty happy with life right now.

Wish I could find the right kind of whore.

Huh - that’s one I didn’t expect.
