Well, you can see where this poll is headed.

I am not a wine drinker, perhaps I am not sophisticated enough. Seeing Thunderbird on the list definitely brought back memories from my youth . Also, too bad Wild Irish Rose is not listed.

LOL based on the above choices, my guess would be TR's but I obviously haven't tried it. Thus...while I'd never tell you to "shut up" my vote was for fixing the camera.

If memory serves me correctly, Strawberry Hill and Country Kwencher are Boones Farm flavors.

The one that makes you feel best. I can leave taste out. While at Monterey in '63, being a Pfc ($125/mo I think) I could only scrape together enough for a bottle of T-Bird. I took one swig and almost spit it out. By the time we finished the bottle we took up collections for more. It has to rank high.

See, I wouldn't even admit to knowing that!

Ahhh, Mad Dog 20/20. That takes me back to my final days in North Carolina, waiting to PCS to the PI! A night which will (unfortuantely) never be forgotten thanks to Mad Dog and Brass Monkey!

"What's the word?"
"Thunderbird!"

In light of conflicting suggestions from my two attorneys (Samoan and non) I decided to vote for "Anything, as long as she drinks it"

"Shut Up and fix the damn camera" was a good option, but from the looks of things, other folks had that one pretty well represented.

That is the correct answer. There really is only one reason to drink wine. If you're drinking wine and there are no women around, you're very likely a fag.

I agree, and move to amend that statement to include:

"And if you're NOT one, you should probably consider it."

LOL!!! Prior to meeting CincHouse, I refused to drink wine or dance. In fact, I love my Heffeweissen; however, now I am relegated to ordering a Pinot Grigio and doing my best impression of Tony Manero.

Is MD 20/20 wine? Hell, I thought it was more along the line of "hard liquor".
