I am/will be drinking these teas today, all bagged teas as I'm out of loose tea, but still good.

Do you always plan your tea drinking? That's serious business .

Avondale Sauvignon Blanc 2007 (Paarl, RSA)

Tropic fruit flavours mix with lively acid in this highly areeable SB, which should also appeal to Riesling fans. At about €7 per bottle in Germany (mail order), a great bang for the buck.

Last night a Trimbach Gewurztraminer Seigneur de Ribeaupierre 2001. I'm no great fan of this grape, too often finding them low-acid, sickly sweet and perfumed, but by one of the very few and true masters of Gewurztraminer, Trimbach, this is supremely well balanced and minerally, still full and rich in style but with fine acids. Superb match with scampi with chili and balsamico.

I find the non-organic variety has slighty better flavor, probably a trade-off of quality vs. organic to maintain the same price for both varieties.

Gewurztraminer is one of my favourite cépages. I don't fint it sweet. But mineral and perfumed are two qualities I associate with it, as well as spicy. It's the most peculiar alsatian wine. It can be overwhelming if it's not well-balanced. When it's well done I count it as a prince among wines.

But I like these bottles more:

I always found Grolsch too skunky tasting, which may have been because the bottles let in too much light, which degrades the beer.

The bottles are great for bottling your own beer, though.  Just keep it in a dark place.

Dear Allan: If you would have read my post on the subject dealing with the variety of wines, you could have learned from my experience with pretty pictures on the label!

It's a beer though, dear Lis, and in this case the beer was an excellent find!!!!!  Really, how could a jazz fan pass it up?

Hope you are well,

I am not too well, Dear Allan, in fact I have a red face  because I had no idea your Brother Whatshisname is beer! Now I know and shall never forget it, thanks to you!

Forgot to tell you, I too drink beer, now and then, especially on hot summer days long gone by now so it will be mostly wine:

Many varieties of beer being brewed in the small Bavarian town of Aying, take our pick:

Heil'ge Pizza ! This looks like meine kind of bier !   

Just experienced an most unusual brew (local of course - nothing gets in the way of French Canadian imagination when it comes to bubbles :from buckwheat to pumpkin to maple to cranberry, oats or barley  . I was looking for scallops in the supermarket when I stumbled upon a variety I had never experienced before: Coffee Imperial Stout. 9.5% degrees. Caramba (hips )   I can assure a salmon, shrimps, white fish, scallops, carrots, bok choy, potatoes and cream stew goes down quite well with it.
