Gone now, because of Millennials

Lots of wines are produced from fruit other than grapes. You never hear about them because they don't fall into the same categories as grape wines. Like a dog breed that isn't in the agreed upon list for show quality.

I have a degree in winemaking.

This is very true, but grape wine is indeed made in every American state, as another goon mentioned above. (although CA makes some 85% of the US wine output.)

I'd rather have a nice country wine than the pineapple catpiss that comes out of non-traditional wine climates.

Sometimes the stars align in the great lakes or east coast and there's a vintage that rises to the very most average of wine the likes of that coming from climates made for it.

Ehh meant cheese.

There is a reason that WI has the best cheese too, CA and NY. The basing point for milk prices is Eau Claire. The further one is from Eau Claire the more ones milk sells for by law. CA and NY have never let this be changed and it would take a law to change.

So milk is cheaper to buy in WI but the farmers can’t make as much money as farmers in CA and NY selling it. Hence the cheese value add.

This sounds like one of those ancien regime laws that stipulated certain towns couldn't be taxed because a saint was born there half a millenia ago

Not knocking WI, just seems to be extremely archaic legal practice

My favorite wine americana is a north american wine pest so thoroughly decimated european wine production in the 19th century that just about every old world wine had to be grafted onto resistant north american roots causing a crisis of identity for appellation obsessed french and italians that exists to this day. Its only champagne when it is champagnese grapes grafted onto american roots planted in champagnese soil, everything else is sparkling wine.

1930�s it was a depression response. Milk prices collapsed and farmers were going bankrupt. Most of the milk over production was coming from WI. Hence doing the basing from there to discourage WI production. Then CA and NY just never let it be reversed.

The worst hangover I ever had was from chugging a single bottle of Night Train. And this was during a period of my life when I was a raging alcoholic and routinely drank 3-4 40oz. bottles of Steel Reserve/Camo/St. ides malt liquor every night.

Night Train is a mean wine.

I've never had either of those, but my first memory of getting so underage drunk I puked my guts out in a bush involved MD 20/20 "banana red" version, whatever the gently caress that was supposed to be

About to head to the grocery store where they somehow still sell that stuff, though I haven't had it in nearly 2 decades. Would be lying if I said this memory didn't stir up the barest temptation... :unsmigghh:

Can confirm that Night Train will gently caress you up. And it�s not even just the high ABV. There�s just something about it that makes you very drunk and angry.

I never had 4loko, but drinking original Sparks was an...unsettling experience, in a way that a Red Bull and vodka was not, for some reason.

My first real experience with alcohol was buying MD 20/20s with my friend (per her suggestion), pouring them into Big Gulp cups, and walking around my hood. It was like 100F out. We got green apple.

That was 15 years ago. I can still taste it and feel the fatigue it caused me. I haven't really drank since.

I remember the last time I got drunk on the original 4loko. I wrestled my roommate in a river, immediately threw up afterwards, and then blacked out.

Referring to various tomato based (meat or meatless) thickened sauces as gravy is an Italian thing.

AvesPKS: Sep 26, 2004; I don't dance unless I'm totally wasted.

It was weird to me too because they had like 4 different kinds of sauce, but that one was the gravy.

Taima: Dec 31, 2006; tfw you're peeing next to someone in the lineup and they don't know

Italians use gravy and sauce in varied ways but I am guessing Michaels calls that one preparation "home style gravy" because it is a classic base for Sunday Gravy (which is a whole other topic, and most Sunday Gravy that I have had includes meat, there's a good chance you are meant to include your own fresh Italian sausage), whereas Arrabbiata is more of a spicy/garlic style.

That being said I'm sure an Italian would punch me in the face for that explanation because no one really agrees on the terminology. But I would put money on that being the most likely explanation.
