Coffee and ice water. Always drinking tons of ice water. Part of the reason I am so excited about the new fridge with ice and water dispenser!

Sounds interesting! Have you ever had the Bell's Java Stout - you can smell the coffee as soon as it's opened.
I had a Kir at work (1 TBS Cassis and 6 oz. Aligote). We're making them for our wine tasting tomorrow and we had to make sure the recipe was perfect
The only thing we'll do differently tomorrow is add a twist of lemon.

It comes tomorrow, but I still have to figure out how to hook up the water line to it. Their kit comes with a 'saddle valve' that fits over a copper pipe. I do not have copper pipes so I am going to have to drop by the appliance store and see what they come up with.
I am hoping a 'y' valve will do the trick along with a flex pipe. They wanted to run a copper line to the saddle valve, and said they do not recommend a plastic line. They couldn't adequately explain why they think a plastic line is not a good idea.

I'm thinking, LadyCook is starting pretty early, since this is a thread regarding alcoholic drinks we are consuming
but maybe you are taking your tea, straight?Anyway, I will fortify myself at some point today to brave the elements. Starting to get some snow, need something to warm me up!

I posted in the wrong forum, I meant to post in non alcoholic forum. I don't drink alcohol at all.

Rock on! Originally from Napa I sent many years working part time at the tasting bars, and discovered that price is no indicator of quality. It's an indicator of snob-ish looking labels. Consider it. A grape is a grape. If you take 2 tons of cabernet grapes and make wine, you get wine. Price is all about the bottle. Even the grapes themselves are a myth at this point. The Phyloxerra (sp?) bug that attacks the roots and kills off entire regions of wine grapes, has worked it vile magic many times over the years. When it happened in Napa, the french growers all donated seedlings to restart the vineyards, Napa returned the favor more than once. So these same grapes have been all over the world. There are french grapes in Napa, and Calif grapes in France. Sure techniques and times are different from winery to winery, but the ingredients are all the same. A pound of grapes is just a pound of grapes.
Sorry...enough of my babbling... here's my top 5 under $10. Most expensive on the list is the Coppola @ 8.99.

2003 Bella Sera Sangiovese
2004 Rex Goliath Giant 47 Pound Rooster
