Anyone ever try Jost Vinyards sangria? Highly highly recommended! Garnish with a slice of starfruit and a slice of lime...What's YOUR poison tonight?

Finished school on Thursday!!! Having a vodka and tonic with lime.

3 fingers of that rum

Congrats Kathy!! San Pedro bound?
Dang, k - you're going through that rum pretty fast!
I will be drinking nice icy margaritas cause it is freakin hot here!

I hate to say it...Corona! Please forgive me.

k is getting bold now that he knows that he is only a four hour road trip away from another bottle.

It's OK LA, they make more every day! Hon, CS gonna luv you!!!!

Yeah, but that's not the varietal I have now!

Thanks, Law! I wish that I was SP bound. Next trip is in October to Vegas for a week. Will probably be spring. I can't believe klcman has any rum left considering a couple of nights ago he was 2/3 done. Must have sent out for reinforcements. Thanks again...made an A by the way!!!

That's what I'm afraid of

Yea!!
no one knows that better than I, k!
Hon, it's okay, you're Canadian. :p

Yabbut, CS is all about the north!

was thinking the same thing L, how much tequila

Hon - that's a fine place for him!
LOTS!!!

You wouldn't send him to Canada!!! You said you liked me

Use him for lobster bait!

Hon, I think the world of you - but I can be a selfish little thing and he bugs me!

klc - I didn't know that you could catch lobster using an a$$ as bait. :p

law - I think a trip to the Dr. Phil show is in order. You will be totally selfless in an hour :rolleyes:

hey Dr Phil was in NSP! Mebbe he met you know who

Lobsters are garbage creatures, they eat anything!

Hon - isn't there somethin out there about how you can't help people until they wanna be helped? :p

law - simply being a regular on this board is a cry for help.

You know Hon, you just might have a point there!

Congratulations KathyA

Thanks so much, NYgal!!! This board has actually answered my cry for help this summer. I think this board is just the greatest! Kathy

ever made your own sangria Noviscotianuts?

You're very welcome
Hard work deserves praise....

K-

That 2/3 was only of an on-the-rocks tumbler, not a straw in the bottle!

But, by the end of the weekend, who knows? If I didn't have to work most of it, I could make you aguarantee!

Congrats on the end of it all!

klcman, I will gladly doublestraw a bottle of rum with you...no tumblers please!

no pun intended...bring on the tumblers!

Save a shot for me. I need one.

Crown and Diet Coke and later had wine.

pnowell, need a waste can at your bed?

4 vodka water, nodamnice and enjoyed with the Big Dipper right over head. The weather here is amazing this weekend.

Make your own Sangria...
I bottle red chianti
1 bottle of giner ale or club soda, I forget which
Either 1 cup of sugar or maybe a 1/2 cup, I forget
and there's something else I forget also.

But man is it good!

Brandy, Denny.

Cheap (E&J) is just fine.

Some of my best baths have been with the Gallo brothers!

DB - nope, never made my own. Got a good recipe with ALL the ingredients??? (Thanks for nuthin' Denny!) Send it along if you do. Although, with my little headache right now, it'll be a week or two before I'm game enough to attempt it!

Noviscotianuts,
Try this recipe. Always works for me.

Maybe it'll help you feel better sooner!

Makes approx 1.5 litres “Red” Sangria

1-750 ml med body dry red wine
½ Cup Brandy or Rum (or volume to taste)
12 oz fresh Orange Juice*
4 oz fresh Lime Juice*
4 oz fresh Lemon Juice*
12 oz Pineapple Juice*
½ cup granulated sugar or ¼ cup simple syrup*

Sliced Fruit - Oranges, Lemons, Limes, Mangoes, etc
8 oz sparkling beverage of choice – club soda, tonic water or sparkling wine

Mix first 7 ingredients together well and refrigerate at least 1 hr or even overnight.

Mix fruit and sparking beverage in just prior to serving and garnish with fruit slices on rim of glass.

*as an alternative you can substitute small cans of frozen undiluted concentrated orange juice, lime aid, lemon aid, pineapple juice in place of juices above and omit sugar or simple syrup. Add a little water to taste.

For White Sangria, use Sav Blanc, or other fruity white wine, add peaches, cherries, kiwi fruit of choice.

Also……you must play Jerry Jeff’s anthem “Sangria Wine” while assembling your concoction.

Always feel free to experiment. Making this delicious stuff up is majority of the fun! Enjoy!

DB... refrigerate 1 hr or overnight? Hmmm maybe that's what I am doing wrong. Are you sure you didn't make a mistake and really meant 2 minutes?

Thanks DB - never had white Sangria, will try this week. (Headache obviously gone - ready for another kick at the can!)

KathyA. I am so glad you loved your baths.
Denny Gallo

Denny, usually only about 1/2 of it makes it into the refrigerator ........

that's what ice cubes are for - well at least it's one of the things they're for.

Amen lawcucui - I never knew about the fridge part until DB mentioned it!

Hey Denny, good to know that Ernest and Julio have another brother...Kathy

....ooops, refrigerate THEN pour over ice.

Denny,
Make a double batch - one to drink while it refrigerates for two minutes , then the other to drink after the flavors meld a bit in the fridge.

Law, what els do you use ice cubes for? :rolleyes:

uuummm, you mean like what other drinks do I put 'em in?

uuummmm, like whatever you were referring to above....

Denny, and maybe the prob with your batch before was you didn't have the JJeff "Viva Terligua" going loud enough... I find it is a must in order to make a proper batch of the real stuff

Law, of course I was referring to drinks!

hmmmm DB... yes, I can see where I am going wrong here. Thanks for the tip!
