tried a new one last night.

I must admit I'm an amatuer right now. I have to have a few swigs of beer first.
I am however willing to learn.

That stuff is nasty. Nas. Ty.

My SIL used to live in Italy and brought us a bottle several years ago. It had a pear inside the bottle that had been sealed at the bottom with wax or something. After a while the grappa ate through the sealant and leaked out the bottom.

If you're going to take up drinking grappa regularly maybe it's time to buy one of your paintings - they may be going up in value soon...

We bought some Chocolat Grappa in Italy that is good. The "plain" grappa is, uh, difficult to drink. It's made from the left-overs at the bottom of the wine barrel, you know. I question anything that is a by-product of something else.

About 30 years ago a friend and I managed to drink a whole bottle, among other things, one night. I've never had it again. Just seeing the name in writing makes me a bit sick.

yeah I know. read the link I posted. this brand is made from more savory type leftovers.
it's stout stuff but so is any kind of spirit.

Speaking of "stout", how do people drink lighter fluid (aka "Cognac") as an after-dinner drink? Yeck.

I've never tried that but have often wondered.
I like the stout stuff but in small doses. must be why I prefer Grappa over Scotch. I'd rather snort a quick shot than sip on a glass of Windage on the rocks.
