Burp

Obsession was a competent, but innocent white white.

Ravens wood is a good but not particularly exciting red.

De Bortoli Noble One Botrytis Semillon

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.

Graham's tawny port aged 20 years

If you love me, prove it by buying me a crate of this stuff. $30 a bottle. Worth every penny.

Croft Pink

Good, but kind of like the Kool Ade of port. Adolescent. Punchy. Not complex. No depth. Sweet.

Feels like a good, plain drink to have in the fridge for some unthinking drunkenness.

Might buy it again, but probably not. The coca-cola of port. Feels mass produced somehow. The same way a Coke tastes. It's okay, even enjoyable, but it's just a Coke for fuck's sakes.

It does taste "pink" somehow. Almost flowery.

Uh oh.

Prune juice (or prune nectar) tastes kind of like non-alcoholic port. It is cheaper, though. Has anyone else noticed this? Are there mixed drinks that include prune juice? Must do some research.
