Saturday night, drank Peroni at my favorite Italian place, then I had my first experience with Goose Island (http://www.gooseisland.com/pages/home/56.php) beer out of Chicago. Their IPA is just ok, certainly have had better. Then had Mimosas and Bud Light while tailgating at the game yesterday.
A local spot I frequent has Goose Island on tap, haven't tried it yet though.

The yellowtail Shiraz-Cabernet blend (purple bottle) is pretty good if your looking for a solid night of cheap drinking. I recently got one of those boxes of Red wine, the supposed award winner or whatever...
Not too shabby.
I had "Le Crema" Pinot Noir recently, and its friggin scrumptious.

La Crema has some really solid wines. We carry a few of them.

One of my favs for sure. Good inexpensive choice.
Let's talk cocktails, I've been lovin' me some Manhattans lately, what are some of your favorites?

^ Thank you the wine talk was putting me to sleep.
I love JD and diet coke! If I am looking just for a quick buzz for the evening that is where I am going. Sometimes beer just takes to long and my gut hurts after too many.

nothing beats a burbon(beam) and ginger in my book, although i do love tequilla with lemonade, preferable crystal light, that way you don't have all the sugar from a margarita it's not just a summer drink either it's a year rounder for me :drink
I love a 7&7 or a gin & tonic. Thank god the weekend is here I could really use a drink right about now.
Got turned on to Pimm's cup down in New Orleans last spring, yum.
