If there is such a thing as angels, this is what their blood tastes like.

Stone's Original Green Ginger





They had it in the port section of the LCBO. Sold as a flavoured wine, it's strong ginger with a sweet wine taste. Would definitely buy again. Reminds me of an odd mix of ice wine and Jamaican ginger beer. A good winter drink. Warms you up with booze and ginger.

I bought this on a whim, figuring it would be a disappointment. Usually those sorts of bets fail. The bottle seemed too cheap to taste good.

A nice surprise.

Sandeman LBV Porto 2004





Dark. Sweet. Complex. Buy it again. Makes me want to chug it, not sip. Not sure why.

A red silk sheet wrapped around a brick. An angry purple child beating on a drum with a greasy chicken leg. A church full of three legged frogs on fire, and the cooking smell fills the neighborhood.

Nice.
