Real men...will drink anything.....that is available. I developed a taste for scotch when I worked at an ad agency where the owner had an open bar after 5;00. Free scotch in other words. He didn't trust you if you didn't drink. He trusted me (heh). I used to say I didn't like rum....until I went to Venezuela. I used to say I didn't like Rose' until I went to France. Napa Valley taught me there is something better than Ripple. I talked to a guy once who had just got back from Scotland. I asked him " did you drink the wonderful scotch?" "No....he replied......"I don't like scotch." Did you play golf." "No......he replied....he didn't like golf. "why the Hell did you go to Scotland?" I asked? Drink and do what the locals do.....anywhere. I don't like bourbon. I drink a lot of vodka and wine.....at this time. Criswell Sent from my iPad
