What exactly is that stuff? Pic's too small for me to read the label.

I'll join the toast this evening, but will probably make mine a glass of nicely aged pinot noir.

For certain. Actually I do not encourage drinking, unless you just want to get a buzz and call it quits. And i dont usually drink the cheap stuff. i mean.... im not bashing it but, I just drink the wine my parents let me have, which are from all over the world, some are 20 bucks, and i have drank some worth 300 dollars.

Hey!! i got a great idea for this thread. So just give a toast to alizee with your favorite beverage, whether it be alcoholic or not. Heres a toast to Alizee, with a glass of Black Hand, 2004 cabernet. If you can, include a picture of the beverage. Sorry I couldn't find the exact label.

My, that's going to be a tough one.

I happen to live in one of the few places in the world that can compete with France for quality of wine production, northern California. In international competitions the two regions are on each other's heels, but the flavor from each, while both very good (at their best) is rather different. The soil of France is chalky and produces a more woody taste to wine, while California wines are fruitier even when very dry. I had some fun once at a winery in Napa County that's owned by Taittinger and produces sparkling wine (which, in deference to their parent company, they don't call "champagne"), tasting some of the best local product and also some imported from Champagne, to illustrate the difference. "Hmm, not sure which of those is better. I can't decide. Better try both again."

I think I would probably have to go with that pinot noir mentioned earlier, and I would get it from Navarro Vineyards, pretty far north of here. I've never seen their wine in stores, only rarely in restaurants, and I very much doubt it ever leaves this country, but the reds in particular are heavenly. Sometimes I take a trip up that way, stay at a cabin near the ocean, go hiking in the hills nearby or along the beach, and drop by the winery for a tasting and to pick up a few bottles of their best.

I can understand being wary of alcohol, and nobody should drink to excess or drive while even mildly intoxicated. But to deprive yourself of it altogether, unless medically necessary, is a shame. Not only wines, but some beers and spirits are works of art. I would feel seriously deprived if I never again could taste Guinness Extra Stout or some of my favorite single-malt Scotch.

Just think.

Here in America, we have young stars who take that stardom and totally destroy their image, their career and their life - all for the exploitation of their stardom.

They feed their self-worth and feelings of "I can do what I want 'cause I'm a STAR" with partying, drinking, sex and general self-destruction.

Then there's our Lili...

Her popularity and stardom could have taken over her life, so what did she do? She took a break.

Then, she comes back, reminds us how special she really is, regains even more popularity and then?

Disappears to take care of priority one - a husband and child. Raise a family. Stardom? so what. She knew what she wanted.

Just how I would want it to be.

There's just one word for that...




Perfect.

Maybe this is why it's called March Madness in the U S.
