What should I drink Election Night?

So folks, I would like you to suggest what I should drink on Election Night.

Palin Syrah. Everyone's favorite Chilean organic wine. I drank a bottle during the first presidential debate -- it made it debate bearable. Chilean wines are perhaps the best values these days. A very nice wine, with a hint of moose but a little gunpowder residue.

Obama Martinis. Ingredients, Kool-aid and vodka. The only problem is that when you make an Obama martini, the government takes most of it and gives it to others, so you either have to drink it really fast or nip off around the corner where no one can see you.

Tattinger. Churchill supposedly said of champagne “In victory we deserve it, in defeat we need it.” So either in celebration or defeat, it is a proper drink for all occasions.

Belvedere Vodka. An Obama administration with a heavily Democratic Congress promises to be highly protectionist. So it may be the last Belvedere I can get for a long time.

Tequila and grain with a sleeping pill chaser. Put me in a coma for 4-8 years. However, with my luck, I’ll wake up and find I am in the USSA with Rodak as head of the junta (Rodak remember to shoot straight, don't make a bloody mess of it).

As an aside, do you think the Palin Syrah can see the Belvedere Vodka from its house? (And yes, I know Belvedere comes from Poland)

So what do I think?

The Palin Syrah was very good and a good price. Some moose residue with a hint of gunpowder. My internet friend Stella Hawkins suggests drinking it with gorgonzola.

A Drink for the Debate

Palin Syrah from Chile. Nice tasting, organic, and fairly inexpensive. In New York, it can be found at Appellation, over on 10th Avenue.

Summer Wine

I love wine, maybe it is genetic (my grandfather used to make his own in his cellar in Brooklyn). I am not a wine snob (or at least think I am not). I do not have the pallet and I just like to drink what I like to drink.

I have been reading a lot lately about rosés of late as a nice summer wine. So while I was never a fan, I decided today to try one. It was light French rosé, Domaine de Niazas from the Languedoc. A bit sweeter than I like in a wine, but fruity. Chilled it makes a nice summer drink.
