    Tomorrow's my birthday and I got a little bottle of J. Roget Spumante, the lady at the store said it was a sweet one, can anybody here testify to that? I had Andre last year and that stuff tasted like turpentine or something.

    I remember when I turned 21, I didn't get carded quite a few times when I bought liquor. I remember thinking "Damn, if it was this easy to buy alcohol, I coulda been buying alcohol for years" Smile

    Yeah, really. I told my mom about it and the only thing she could come up with is it was daytime, school hours, and who underage would go to buy alcohol and risk being seen out of school? I don't know how much truth there is to that but it seemed logical to me.

    Well, I tried that stuff tonight and I certainly can't recommend it, I suppose for its price I shouldn't be surprised it was so awful. the lady at the store said it was a sweeter wine, I say she LIED. Turpentine once again.

    I've tried 3 kinds of Andre: regular, strawberry and peach, the first two were awful but the peach was slightly tolerable. As it stands I've only had it for my birthday the last couple of years. Just out of curiosity, W2L, any opinion on how Cold Duck is?

    Thanks. It was a good one. Though it's funny, I don't feel 22, I don't feel any age, I feel like somebody wiped my number out and didn't put a new one in.

    That's why the ones you have been trying have been trash. If you're not going to pop for the good stuff, then don't even bother.
