I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I don't understand the word "mouth-feel". It sounds vaguely dirty to me.

I took it that it was named Cupcake Winery, and then because they were named Cupcake, decided to try for the cupcake flavors. But I really skimmed the article.

Somehow I think "vodka that tastes like chewing on a Christmas tree" would be hard to sell.

I like gin sometimes, but this makes me laugh and laugh and laugh.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I don't understand the word "mouth-feel".

It's basically like viscosity/thickness, but not quite. Some wines seem watery, while others seem thicker.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The cute names of the Cupcake vodka flavors no longer bother me now that I know they say "vanilla flavored" and so forth on the respective labels. "Tree fruit" as a taste descriptor still gets a raised eyebrow.

I think the inherent thought of viscosity in the word mouth feel is what makes it seem dirty to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If gin were invented today, would it still be called gin, or would it be just another flavored vodka?

I was just reading something about how that's only true of sub-par gins or some shit?

The Chicago Tribune has an article today on sea salt (with a sidebar into the health benefits of wine).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Aha! I just addressed this the other day when I noted the difference between distilled gin and compound gin. Bombay Sapphire is a compound gin, which means that technically it is juniper flavored vodka. Tanqueray is distilled in a large copper pot, so it is Actual Gin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gin is ASS. And not in the good way.

Please, meeting, get to my part. And let me speak well when you do.
