If you enjoy Viognier, consider trying a DuPres - the Tempranillo grapes they use are unbeatable. 102 and 103 were good years, and still in wide circulation (also, due to a loophole in the language of the trade restrictions, you'll have less trouble buying them in the State). If you can find a bottle, the 84 was a year to end all years, but the bottles are rare and expensive (in baseliner terms, taht is - they'll go for dozens of ISK, sometimes). I have a couple lying around in my private reserve, though, if you find 102 or 103 work for you. If you're looking for something with a slightly milder aftertaste, consider Rakapal - an Intaki vinyard with a fine history. Took a few years for them to work out all the kinks, though - even if you can find it, don't go earlier than 94, or you won't get the good stuff. The 105 goes particularly well with pasta.
Gallente wine is an abomination. Your people lack both the patience and proper singularity of purpose to will the grapes towards their proper destinies.
Gesakaarin dear, don't take this man's advice, unless you desire a slow and painful death by poisoning of inferior product.
......This has given me an idea though....... we should put some of our vintages to a proper competition some time. Perhaps a capsuleer wine-off featuring some of the finest selections for blind taste-tests.... yes.... an event is forming in my mind.

Wine education is something I've fallen behind on - I'd be interested in that event. |

I've often found that, circumstances nonwithstanding, men decide on one drink and stick with it. Forever.
I think I have been drinking extra-old cognac from Caldari space for the past ten years. Certain wines and beers go with certain foods, certain cocktails go with certain situations, but Kasarik XO goes with life.

Vodka. Now. Always. Vodka.
But you can't bloody cook with it and it doesn't GO with any food. |

You mention wine and have my interest.
... what? A Matari can't be sophisticated too? Tsk.
Btw, a separate question, but in honor of our Caldari here, are there wines that go especially fine with tea? |

Wine is an alcoholic drink served either chilled or at ambient temperature (very occasionally slightly warmed for very full-bodied reds) - tea is a non-alcoholic drink made from boiling water and left to sit for a few minutes. Drinking both at the same time would throw off your palette and - especially if it were a white or rose wine, which are usually served chilled - could upset your stomach.
The ideal combination of these two drinks in a meal is serving the wine with the meal itself, and then serving tea long after both the meal and the wine are finished. Mane 614

I prefer to think that vodka goes with every food. Or air. Or water. Or anything else, including birthdays, anniversaries, and Tuesdays. |

Those damn Tuesdays.
I got out of that habit when I got tired of the feeling of somebody using a deep core harvester on my skull the next morning, but once upon a time... |

Hangovers can be easily prevented by drinking a medium-to-large glass of water an hour before you go to sleep. If you wake up after a couple of hours of sleep after a night of heavy drinking, it's likely because your blood sugar levels are low. Eat a slice of bread or a spoonful of peanut butter - it'll spike your insulin levels and you can go back to sleep. Mane 614
