Ooh yes

We had a Greek Gerwurztraminer in, of all places, Northern Sweden a few months ago and it was impressive.

I'm drinking grapefruit juice & water tonight though :(

You probably drank the same one as I did. Tselepos!

If you get a chance, try their Moschofilero. Absolute classic Mantinia.

Yiannis Tselepos is a truly great winemaker.

I forgot to ask, where in Sweden were you?

We had a nice 400km walk in September, a sort of big circle around Staloluokta. It was my first vist, and I want to go back!

Back on the Grants after the Laphroaig, preceded by a 'fruitjuice' Australian wine. Prior to that to that there was the  Ossian (4.1%), and the Darkmoor (4.6%).

That's a point. Nothing yet, but there's one more bottle of beer on the dresser...

May I go against the flow and tell you what I'm not drinking?

I'm not drinking alcohol, for 3 months, nor is Mrs FF and we're being joined by another known here. 
Hopefully weight-loss, improved vitality, better bank balance and a new relationship with alcohol will emerge...

Cheers  ::-)

That's my plan also, but as Sgt Pluck suggests I'm going to take it day by day.

Damson Vodka. At my mate's over Christmas I polished hers off, and now I'm settling into mine. Her's was very nice.... Mine's a bit, erm, vicious...  :-\

I'm drinking cold water, at least six glasses per day as per Doctors orders.

Does that count?

I got a quiet rollicking last time I had a urine test. The Doc even asked "what size are your glasses?"

Grrr humbug :demon:

Mine never lasts long enough to mature.

I am a stout fellow, but usually consider myself to be more of an ale-fellow-well-met.

+1, but I'm only aiming to be dry for a month.
