On two separate occasions, one personal and one professional, the Throbber got ridiculously fucked up on fortified wines. One time was at a basketball game vs. USC. Just totally smashed talking shit to Randy Johnson. The other time was a work event where they sampled all that crap and things got away from me on an empty stomach.

That is some nasty juice. And by fortified wine, you mean MD 20/20, Thunderbird, Night Train and assorted other shit you can find on the bottom shelf of some convenience stores.

IFL 10 year old Old Tawny Ports. Great substitute for whisky for a night cap.

@Dennis_DeYoung (RIP) before he got too kewl for HH had a profound influence on my understanding of vermouth. Really helped up my cocktail game by focusing on fresh, high end vermouth.

Im finding I like sherry more all around, there is way more variety than port. The majority of them are actually dry and the sweet one (pedro ximenez) is unbelievable poured over ice cream.

I’ve only had sherry a few times. I liked it and need to explore it

There’s an episode of Colombo called “Any Old Port in a Storm“.



Gardner Minshew guest stars apparently.

I think I got proposed to over a pitcher of Logie flips - bottle of loganberry wine and top off with beer for those who don't know quality - so I think that counts as fortified wine.

also this thread makes me feel better about drink wine out of a large black box (no I am not referring to a female perverts)

I love Black Box and Bota Box. It’s like shitty $6 wine but at $4 a bottle price.

Unless you’ve drunk beer out of a rugby shoe you’ve got no reason to be embarrassed by the vessels from which you’ve drunk.

The math checks out

4 bottles per box. Usually $15.99 at TW.

$12.99 at the Warrenton Costco makes me a cheap drunk
