The LCBO is finally getting Tamada Kindzmarauli and some other types of Georgian wine. This is very exciting, as I haven't had it since I was in Russia and it is awesome.

So I bought a bottle. Now I just have to wait for this damned flu to pass, and for the proper occasion to crack it. Also if the cheese store were to start getting Georgian cheese that would also be nice, but very unlikely.

Now we can have a proper Stalinist party

[sabotabby]

I bought the kind that was apparently Stalin's favourite. Of course.

Distilled from the blood of the finest bourgeoisie.

Fermented from the first pressings of the finest Trotskyites

Naturally. Nothing is too good for the working class.

The first thing I thought when I read this post was "Hey, isn't Georgia where wine comes from?" Then I thought of Stalin. I fail.

Wow, thanks for letting me know!!

I basically squee'd in the liquor store and no one understood. I knew my friends would understand.

I have recently discovered that cheap White Zinfandel tastes like Woodchuck apple cider. Of course, my judgment may be impacted by two cups of cheap White Zinfandel. In any case, that "low sodium" bacon salt, that I mentioned in one of my recent posts, works wonders on chili when combined with lemon pepper.

Back to working on my book.

[sabotabby]

...wow.

Now that I am out of chili, I am off to the corner store to get some barbecue chips. Then I will waych or listen to Harvey Pekar's new opera -yes, opera (see my post).

If you visit here sometime there are good Georgian restaurants way the fuck out in Brooklyn, plus the wine store in my hood and several others in town carry Georgian wines. I don't love them, from what I've tried, but I'm not really a wine person so much.

[sabotabby]

I would be so down for that (I miss Georgian food too). There are barely any Russian restaurants in Toronto and no Georgian ones, as far as I can tell. The closest I've ever found is on the outskirts of Montréal.

Wow. This is the fewest number of comments I have ever seen in your journal.

Off topic, I thought I should alert you to these ...

It's regionally-specific and alcoholic-specific.

Did anyone use the holodeck for porn besides Janeway and that geeky guy from TNG? I imagine that the holodeck would be used primarily for that purpose.

[rohmie.livejournal.com]

I always thought the holodeck had a lock on the door, which was why people kept getting trapped in it.

"HEY! HURRY UP IN THERE!"

"I'M ALMOST FINISHED!"

Speaking of imbibing, as we were before, reading The Salon reminded me that I was curious about absinthe.

Have you ever had any?

[sabotabby]

Have you ever had any?

Yes. I found the physical sensation rather enjoyable, but I hate the taste of black licorice so drinking it wasn't much fun.

I'm boycotting Georgian goods over their attempted genocide of the Abkhazian people.

OMG Georgian wine is Teh Awesome! And if you had Georgian cheese to go with it? Well, *swoon*

[red-news.livejournal.com]

What do you mean? They've had Georgian wine for ages. You just had to find a big enough store...
