Well, I would change that to "good wine" is for "good friends". Acquaintances can drink the cheap stuff.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=162061\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Any of you guys drink coffee?[{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
(let's just say that the picture on wiki from your link does not make me want to drink some of that coffee...)[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=162072\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Andrew Rodney and I are partial to Peet's coffee (although for expresso drinks I rather like Starbucks-quad grande mocha with whip). Andrew was nice enough to send out coffee beans for X-Mas (thanks Andrew) a nice package of Kona and another of Jamaica Blue Mountain.At some point I would like to try the Kopi Luwak Indonesia coffee, but at over $160/lbs, it won't be any time real soon. Plus there's that "ish factor" of drinking coffee made from beans that have been shatout the back end of an animal...:~)[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=162070\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

While some of their conclusions are suspect (to me), Consumer Reports did some double blind testing of the various wine preservation systems about a year ago. Basically they noted that, over the course of a day or two, that nobody could tell a difference whether you just jammed the cork back in overnight or used some fancy Argon anaerobic preservation system -- both tasted good. And, for red wine, after a week, both tasted bad. So really the preservation technique doesn't matter.White wine preserved much better than red (that is to say, for a lot longer), but the same findings held true -- that the fancy schmancy stuff didn't actually improve longevity.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=161965\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
