Read your blog and enjoyed it.<BR/>Just to let you know I'm reading.<BR/><BR/>I love a refreshing beer on a hot day, and God we get them, cleanses the palate and sharpens the appetite, then wine is, for food...the wine you drink while preparing the food, the wine you drink when you begin to eat your food, half way through, towards the end, finished and then digesting. Get the idea :)<BR/><BR/>One of the best things to do in winter is eat Japanese food and drink sake, it's tops!<BR/><BR/>Vodka? Why drink it when single malt scotch exists? though I've heard from Russian friends that a vodka massage is pretty damned good and I'd believe it.<BR/><BR/>JeffreyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36541745.post-69404332036524228102007-12-17T17:59:00.000-08:002007-12-17T17:59:00.000-08:00Remember, the victor writes the history.

But good beer is another entity altogether and I can think of nothing more fun and enjoyable than drinking great beer with friends, old or new.<BR/><BR/>Now as for food (and this is FoodVibe, right?), I think wine rules. Although I occasionally enjoy beer with food (such as a Guinness with my fish and chips with peas), I delight in the pairing of a great meal with wine (but eschew traditional notions of how the two should be paired).<BR/><BR/>Vodka sucks.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055292208244362516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36541745.post-37980091387570118382007-12-16T08:19:00.000-08:002007-12-16T08:19:00.000-08:00Seth, you are a fine and wonderful writer.
