Mo’s 38 Caliber Chocolate Bar
Yes, that’s right, chocolate and gunpowder together - a match made in the kitchen of the N.R.A. Lovely contrast in texture of creamy milk chocolate and gritty black gunpowder. Paired well with a 2004 Clautiere Port.
Full disclosure — this is a joke that was inspired by a real chocolate bar that is almost just as ridiculous, as seen on spume.
Crabbie’s Jamaican Green Ginger Wine
I brought less clothes so I could smuggle in 4 bottles of something decent, not expecting to find any drinkable wine in Negril, Jamaica. I’ve mostly been drinking rum –Appleton 12 Year old — but tonight we trekked a little bit away from the resort into a local neighborhood for Elvis’ Annual Chinese New Year Bingo Extravaganza and this was one of the drinks offered. Tastes like honey sweetened ginger. Not bad on ice.
I only mention it because it sounds like the kind of wine a fool would drink…
“good wine makes good blood”
I’m linking to this post from Do Bianchi just so I can make the following quote,
buon vino fa buon sangue
Cheers.
